There are hunderds of websites for online shopping on the internet, though not too many can be trusted but every year more users on the internet and buying all kind of stuff online, wether for their self-use or as gifts.
We all run to people who say they do not buy online because they are afraid of having their payment information stolen, others may say that shopping in real life is easier and "I have to see the item and touch it, before buying it!", do you agree ?
Well for me I disagree, though shopping in a mall is easier and you can control yourself more than online, but I find online shopping very convenient as well as having auctions and items for prices which are sometimes 50% less than buying from stores, it is a huge plus!
I think the advantages for online shopping are that the prices costs less, its easier and you could do it anywhere you are, even when you're in the car from your mobile! As well as, having a list of all kind of items and all kind of brands in one place.
Disadvantages are not knowing wether this website is to trust or not, and when it comes to clothes its not easy to buy without trying it first unless you are 100% sure of your size and fit. Buying online can be addictive and you have less control so you may spend a lot of money, especailly the way they advertise stuff it makes you want to buy more, and its very convincing.
I really enjoy online shopping, and I trust eBay as well as I use Paypal for my payments and I never had any problem with that, thanks God !
What about you ? Are you one of the people who hates online shopping (had a bad experience for example) or are you a fan like me ? Or you never tried it before?
I hope you liked the discussion, thank you, and have a great day !

I really love looking for clothes, shoes and bags online but I still like to buy on malls because when you buy it online you are not sure what materials they use on it and a lot of items already been through photoshop that's why they look good.
