Since we use Internet, many shops, business and private sellers appears and grows in Internet. Many users already get used to buy online (services, books, cosmetics, dresses, comestibles and many other things). But there are still many people who do not trust in online shopping and never would buy anything the see on the screen, even if the need something or wish something special.
Are you one of those who do not trust to online shopping? Why?

personally i love online shopping., I dont worry about using my credit card,. because I use a pre-paid credit card for when I shop online. I think it's way safer and its stress-free. You should try using the Netspend card.,
just go to there website, www.netspend.com and check it out. you wont be disappointed. =]

Pre-paid cards are a great option. I used one of my bank I am working with and also Paypal. But I didn't know the site you mentioned, so I will have a look in today. Thank you.

I do online shopping rarely, and at maximum times , i go out for shopping with my friends,or family. And in that also,i do online shopping just for clothes,or books etc. If it is a electronic device or gadgets,i prefer to go out and shop,but you cannot say that i do not trust,but still i feel that i should buy these items with my hand.

Yeah, you are right. We can enjoy the time and feel more fun while shopping with our friends or family. That we will miss , if we shop online.

0casionally, we can feel more fun if we share the time with friends and realize our shopping together.

Yes, I see many online shops these days, cheap stuff and also very expensive items. I have not purchased any thing online so far. Yes, you are right. I prefer to see them with my own eyes first before making the choise and the decision to purchase.

The convenient by traditional shopping is that we can take the items we buy immediately with us. By online shopping, we have to wait several days since we pay until the product we've bought arrives at our addres. That might be an inconvenient for many people. But within twenty or thirty years, what we today still call normal - the traditional shopping - may be called old fashioned by our children or grandchildren. How many young people do not buy yet their entrance for cinema, theater or a concert online?

Nowadays, everything is a risk. It's only a question of choice. But, there are still many people who don't trust to internet or online shopping.

hi,
yes, i am one of those people who never trust online shopping,because i have a friend before here in my place who tried to go online shopping, after she received the hings she purchased and suddenly its a little damage,and her problem is where can she refund it, so after that i am afraid or the trust had gone in shopping online.

There are some online sellers or even companies selling online who offers a guarantee for the products they sell. Of course, we have to be carefull so it's always better to read first the conditions and look after the reputations the seller or company has got. We always may have a bad experience, sure. But it doesn't mean that all products or sellers are bad. Like this, online shops wouldn't work, but there are people whose job consist in selling on internet.

Nowadays, internet really makes our world smaller and more convenient because you can shop and pay your bills on line.Well, I do trust online shopping, actually I buy few of my clothes online.But in a sense that I knew the owner , so that I know that it is legit shop. I haven't try to buy things online that i dont know the history or the owner.Since we are involving here the money perhaps we just to be cautions on what to buy or who is the distributor and be alert always.

In my case, I love buying items from abroad, so in those cases it's impossible to know the owner or the history. But it can improve the economy in other countries.

It depends on what I am buying. If am buying something like books etc, then I am ok with online banking. But when it comes to things such as electronics or costumes etc. then I prefer buying it from a shop after I try things out. But with the differentials in the cost between the shop and the internet, online shopping is becoming a very handy source of shopping.
Cheers!

That's right, through online shopping we can save time and money too. But, sometimes the handycap are the shipping costs which are ocasionally more expensive than the item.
