I have read a lot of articles about earning money online. So, I want to start a discussion about spending money?
Almost everything can be done online now. So, I want to know what you think about buying things online and what is your favorite online marketplace?

When it has to do with international sale, I choose Ebay. I have found some excellent offers.
If it's an item I need fast, I choose national e-shops, but I also choose to pick the item from the store myself. Weird or not, we can be charged around $4 for shipping, even if the store is next to our house. E-shopping in my country got many years ahead to evolve, it is a disaster still. But the prices are still cheaper than regular, "offline" stores, if I may call them like this.
You didn't tell us however where you buy things, share your experience too!

I use ebay.com indeed, because the Greek equivalent is not good enough and I miss many opportunities and offers.
I have been very satisfied with my Ebay experience and I do not plan to stop buying from there, unless of course if I run out of money completely :)
Where do you buy things from?

When you shop on eBay, what site do you normally use? eBay.com? And how was your experience with eBay, was it satisfying?

I only have ebay for this discussion, and make sure that they use paypal or with an escrow because some shopping site mostly are scams. Be wise while shopping online. That's what I may suggest.

yup, definitely.. everybody needs to be careful to buy things on the net. knowing that you are not seeing your trading partner so it is really buying at your own risk

I use many different online websites. I don't like to just use one, because there are often some offers or deals that you might not have seen before, so it's important to shop around. I don't even buy my CDs and DVDs from the same website each time, as you just never know where you would be able to find it a couple of pounds cheaper than the first place you found. It is the same principle as going to different supermarkets each week really.

Yes, you need to browse more sites to make sure that you are getting the best value.

I absolutely love shopping online. I think I look at online clothing stores more than anything. A few of my favorites would have to be Sense of Fashion, Etsy, Ruche, and Express. I don't really shop for much else online unless I can't find it in the store.

I don't have a preferred online shopping site. Yes. there are many sites online marketing many different types of products, from simple items to really precious products like jewelry. I have not bought any thing online. I really prefer to buy things only after seeing them right in front of my eyes.
