I'm so addicted checking shops online. I'd rather waste my time seeing what's the deal today or what's new fashion clothes,shoes bags, etc than checking my emails, social networking sites and jobs online. I don't know but I'm an online shopaholic. I try not to use my laptop for 2 days thinking that it will help me, but on the 3rd day i bought a lot. OMG. Is there anybody aside from me who experience the same drama? What do you think should I do to stop me from buying online?

I dunno, I think you should stop putting money in your paypal account or from whatever you purchase your stuffs through I remember wanting to buy everything when we just went for eye shopping. I sometimes didn't take money along or anything so I would be unable to. Helped in some cases but sometimes not hehe!

Hello zaga_cleuth, I can say that I am not an internet shopaholic as I don't buy online, but I have placed my order yesterday for a nice necklace... I don't have plans of being a shopaholic as I don't have budget for it. But I do sell something online, I sell Joy Lim's Charm and Crystal elite collection, these are feng shui bracelets. I also sell food supplements and a weight loss supplement that is really effective. It's alright that you buy a lot of things online especially if it is cheaper as compared to buying at the malls. And its okay as long as you have the money to purchase it. So good luck with your shopping Happy mylotting also!

I'm totally the same as you! I love shopping online. I love it better than going directly to their store. There are so much sale and offers if I buy online and there are also a lot of freebies, that is why I'm getting addicted on buying online. I also don't know what to do to stop it lol . I always think that I am going to save less if I buy online and I think it's true. I guess it's okay as long as you are still within your budget. For me, it's okay as long as I think I can save more when I buy online.

I love to shop online too. You can get most things cheaper online. Since I don't have a credit card though, it prevents me from buying a lot because I can only buy stuff when I have money in my Pay Pal account. That is what keeps me from buying to much online.

I use my card most of the time. Maybe that's one of the many factors why I enjoy buying online.

yes! i am a shopaholic as well. I am always sitting out in front of PC checking out prices of various things. i love to compare price of same product across different sites and i usually end up buying lots of them. However i usually indulge in relatively cheaper things like pen drives so i am currently not in a bad financial position

Well, if you can't stop yourself from buying stuff online, then try selling some of them or all of them. Find stuff that are cheaper than those found at local stores and sell them. You will not only make profit from those sales but who knows, this could become your long time business too. In my case, I would love to do that but I find it so hard to sell to people; not my thing. :)

As much as I want to shop online too, it's just cost-prohibitive for me. I just give my head a shake, and remember my responsibilities. And what needed items I should be buying. Maybe you should too! If all else fails, I'm sure that when you get your credit card bill, you would also shake your head.
