Shopping Online

Yes I have heard about Beyond the Rack and I am actually a member and get their daily updates. But I will never ever buy from them. As the old saying goes "if it seems too good to be true, then it surely it" However, one has to be very careful when buying online and research the website if it is one that they do not know about. I personally stick to places like Ebay, Amazon and Botegga Verde one of the many Italian websites I use when shopping online.

I usually do some online shopping when the product I am going to purchase is not available in our country. I usually go to ebay and or to the product site itself. Yes, we have to be careful with online transaction.

Usually, if you don't receive your order or have any other problem, you can just contact the webstore and they will sort it all out for you. I shop online all the time because I can't find a lot of things that I want in the stores around here, and I haven't had much problem at all. Also, in January, there are still a lot of stuff going on from Christmas usually, so items can take longer to ship and have more of a chance of being lost. I suggest that your friend try contacting the shop if he hasn't done so already.

Shopping online is bad for your local community because the money isn't being spent there so the economy can't grow. Sometimes looking for the best prices doesn't help. Everything is made cheaper and with less quality because of that mindset. For me, I'd rather by a quality product so I don't have to keep purchasing it every 5 years.

Hi, I would say shopping online is good and pretty common noawadays,But better becareful if you don't know who is the seller because I do read the news about seller gone missing after accepting few orders and payments from the buyers. Till now, I am yet to do any online shopping,although I have quite a number of friends are selling those children and woman's wears. I am worry about the quality and size,but one day I might try the online shopping from one of my friend's online store. The best part about online shopping is It helps to save the time to travel directly to the shop and get the things that we want. What we need to do with online shopping is browse the items online,select them,make the payment via credit card or bank transfer and wait for the item to reach my doorsteps. But of course, if we were to buy in small quantities, a delivery charge will incur. Lastly, online shopping is quite trendy now and let's go shopping !!

I buy a lot of stuff online. I am handicapped and it is hard for me to get to the stores. I only buy things off of sites that I am familiar with and I use a credit card that I'm not responsible for unauthorized purchases. I don't do any online banking and don't use my debit card as it is tied to my bank account. A few years ago my friend bought something online for a Christmas present. She paid thru Paypal, so she thought it was safe. She never received the item, but it was paid for. She contacted Paypal but nothing was resolved. So far this hasn't happened to me, and hopefully it never will.

Okay, I don't believe in shopping online because of identity theft. I know that a lot of people have told me that it is not as bad as it used to be, but I have known people who have been the victims of identity theft, and I don't want to be one of those victims.

i have really only shopped on ebay. i havent had too much problems that way. i dont like buying clothes online though because just because it is my size, doesnt necessarily mean it will fit me. i like to try clothes on.

I have heard of this site and wondered about but never bought anything. I am wondering if this is on back order what the deal is. If it has been so long why doesn't he ask for his money back and if he doesn't get it then I would report him to the BBB. There has to be a resolution. If I had a bad experience I wouldn't use the site again.

Hello Marmot!! Yes!! I remember I bought a Small Diamond and 100 ties from India, through Ebay (to México). It passed a month and nothing had arrived... so I phoned India, I phoned Spain, I wrote to Ebay... and finally the arrived arrived, everything quite well, it was lovely, however. Internet makes the world smaller!! It´s great!!! Blessings!... Dainy

The risks of being victimized by fraud online shops is just one thing. I tried online shopping once and haven't tried it again, or at least minimized my online shopping activities. For some reason, I am disappointed with the quality of the item I get. I would much prefer seeing the item so that I could examine its quality myself before I opt to buy it.

I enjoy online shopping. I don't have to leave the house to get some great bargains. i seem to do more online shopping than i have in the past. some things you just can't pass up.

Shopping online is convenient and cheaper. But you should choose the site of appreciated brand. So, you can believe them about quality and shipment.

hello marmot, it is sad for your friend experience. have you contacted the seller? is there no any reply about it? where is the seller from? i think the seller like this is few if he/she would like do long-term business. because i am a seller online for handbags for two years,i never broke me promise to my customers,even if something cannot meet them,i will tell them and find a good solving way. i suggest before buying thing you'd better chat with seller more so that you can do a right choice.

Dear friend, I feel it is a part of advancement. One could even order a dinner from home. Many those products could to available at door steps. I feel it is well, but it could affect those small stores outside. Still may in those stores too give their online. It nice may be this has to be well spread. Moreover there could arise fraudulence also if the seller is not genuine.

What staff?? My husband does online shopping for some certain stuff but we the website carefully, we don't just randomly shop on the internet. So far we haven't had any problems like that, we usually receive the goods pretty quick.

I love shopping online because of it's convenience. I regularly buy things online. I do experienced sometimes that the product I have purchased online arrive late or sometimes broken. A few weeks ago, I bought two cameras from online shop, which says the item will arrive next day. When it did not arrive for two weeks, I called them. I was told that there was a glitch in their system and my order was not noticed until I called them. They sent me a small gift and an upgrade on one of the cameras and everything arrive two days after I called them. I am always careful about who I buy it from. I make sure that the seller's communication details are provided, and that if I buy electronics products or some products with warranty, I only buy from sellers who offer manufacturer's warranty. I bought a camera case from Ebay India yesterday evening and it is arriving today.

I am not much with online shopping.. But my uncle have done online shopping couple of times and he got his item successfully. Yes choosing legit and honest site for online shopping is important. We can't purchase anything from unknown site. So better investigate about site before purchasing anything. As per information i got, products in online shopping sites having more price in compare of normal shopping.. And even i saw the same in few sites.

Well for me, i don't really like online shopping. I really have doubts about the sizes and whether or not I'll like the stuff once i get them, so i don't usually shop online. But i do sometimes buy gadgets online. Actually i'm planning on buying a camera online pretty soon

I shop online sometimes :3. one of my favourite online store is 80's purple and sometimes I go to AllSaints they are really good stores and you get the items you ordered in 6 - 10 days of purchase.
