now it is more and more popular to shopping online, there are so many advantages of it:
1. shopping online is much cheaper than buy things at a store, products online always can give you a discount.
2. it is so convinient, you donot need to go to the store, you just sit at home and buy what you want by the computer.
3. if you donot like the products or not content with the products quality you can return the products to the supplier.
there are many other advantages, i like to shopping online, it will be more popular in future.

There are several disadvantages too. You cannot shop for footwear. In fact the articles generally seem to be attractive but are not actually good!

I like online shopping but compared to getting what you want quickly instead of waiting on it to be shipped which could take up to a couple days. To me it depends on the price of what I am trying to get, if it is cheaper online I will buy it online but if it is the same price I would rather purchase it right from the store so I won't have to wait.

I shop online for items not available at the store, like specialty items, rare books, etc. It's very convenient shopping online, but the delivery fees and the delivery of the items are such a hassle.

Good day jakeyanchao,
It depends what I am shopping for. I have purchased clothing online but never was really satisfied with my purchases. Either the sizes ended up being different than what I am used to and they are too small or they end up being made out of such cheap material after washing it once or twice it fell apart.
Same thing with jewelry. I used to buy some jewelry on ebay and after a few times of receiving really cheap stuff that either fell apart or turned my finger green, I quit doing that too.
Now the only things I still purchase online is airplane tickets and hotel rooms and vitamins and suppliments that I regularly get every month now through the mail.
I still like to see what I am buying, in person, when it comes to most things I purchase. I don't think I will be doing much shopping online in the future either.
Cheers and happy mylotting my friend ,
chris

I addicted with shopping online nowadays. Whatever i need, i direct visit at my reliable indian online shopping sites ie. http://indiaemporium.com/ , indiatimes, naptol.com or homeshop18 to order my need things. Actually I found online shopping an easy or most convenient way to purchase things online and that's without spending enough time in wondering for the thing in market. I also save enough make by doing online shopping for my special need, everything available at these online store at affordable price and heavy discount.

I do a lot of shopping online, specially gifts. Right now I even have my baby registry online. Its so convenient, cheaper and you can find anything at any time. On black friday I had to work, wasn't able to go but still got a lot of stuff online. Its a convenience, I even sell old stuff, old toys online as well, re-using.

That's not always the case. I've seen a lot more online shops available here in our country that doesn't accept return/exchange. That's one of the disadvantages of online shopping here. Another disadvantage is the additional cost for shipping the product.
I do have some online shops. And I've also bought online as well. I do like it.

I love online shopping, I get most of my electronics and DVDs online. I don't really shop for clothes online because it's easier to go look at them in the store.

No I not like shopping online because I have no credit card and we cant see the product which we want to purchase. I believe only on offline shopping.

I have to admit I do like shopping online but only trusted sites as it does take a lot of stress out of the picture! Sometimes I do enjoy the energy of the crowds around me but if I know I am going to do better online, might as well do it that way.

I love to shop online because it is cheaper and very convenient for me.But you have to be sure that it is a good and reputable seller just like when you buy in ebay shops.Trust is very important in selling and buying items tru online. So you have to double check the seller always because nowadays there are lot of sellers who sells fake items especially if you yourself does not know how to spot if it is a fake item or not.

I use to buy Fish Capsules from my Local Pharmacy, they use to cost me around Dhs.70 with 60 capsules. (I live in Dubai - United Arab Emirates ) so I do not know how much it is in Dollars.
anyways its expensive in my part of the region. When I went to the website of the product I saw that they were selling around 360 Capsules for only Dhs.110 with delivery charge. I was really amazed and shocked and since then I always co check before buying anything. If i get it cheaper on the internet, then its great.
I am afraid of putting my credit card number, but now the internet has reached such great heights that its easy to find out which site is a scam.
Shopping online is great!

I don't shop online because I like to see what I am buying and also because it is too easy to spend money this way.
That being said, if I lived somewhere that was farther away from stores, I would probably consider it at least for things I need like clothes and gifts.

Yes there are indeed several advantages of purchasing online. I myself have purchased several items online and I have not encountered any problems so far. But there are also others who had some bad experiences with online purchase. We will just have to be careful so as not to become victims of scam.

If I could afford to shop at all I think I would definitely shop online since it would be much easier. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do any shopping except grocery shopping. =(

I shop online all the time! That's why I'm here on Mylot so that I can use my earnings to buy a few cheap branded stuff online! There are a lot of branded expensive stuff that I really want but I don't really have the money. I can't work either because I need to study for school. So in my spare time, I earn online for a few dollars and use them on Ebay. Ebay right now is probably my favorite site to use for shopping online. The prices there are really cheap and bids can start from just a dollar. I have bought several things there and I love waiting for them to arrive at my door.
Like you said, shopping online is very convenient because you can browse within the comforts of your home and look at hundreds of items at different deals. You don't have to hurry in your car and go to the actual store and what's worse is when you get there and the stock has run out! So it's better to buy things online but quality cannot be judged though. I only prefer buying small things online like clothes. For the bigger things I need to go to a store.
