I'm dabbling in online stores lately webcast I want to spend some money on things online. I can't find them online so I'm trying the Internet jut for kicks. Anyway, I am figuring out the best places to buy. Of course there's Mammon and Ebay. I heard a lot of things on Amazon and I would like to get teh side of people who tried Ebay from the country (doesn't matter if it came from Ebay.com or ebay.ph). I am also very welcome to local online stores like Ayosdito and sulit.ph. But I'm casting my net further but Imigth also try them in the future.
Any scary or success story is appreciated.

I have tried buying online via Ebay. And from all the transactions I have been , I was only dissatisfied with one seller. I knew I was buying a pre-owned bag. But he never mentioned that it was severely "vandalized" in the interior part. I mean, he did mentioned the scratches on the side which he posted the picture of it, too. I paid for 600php for it and if I had known, wouldn't have bought it even for 200 pesos.

It's common for sellers to leave all the nasty details when they are selling. If your seller told you about the vanadlaized part, he'll be earning less than you pay for it had you not known it. Kind being scammed too.

If they want to be successful with their online business, then they should strive to be a good seller and be truthful with what they sell. Only will they earn success when they have proven that everything that they offer was worth every cent.

Any tips in buying? Or any red flags I should be aware of? I'm really new at this thing but I really want some goods from abroad.

I bought my perfume @ Ebay store online with the help of my friend and it was delivered on time but be careful still because not all have sucessful stories with e-bay. I had this officemate who ordered for 1 unit of cellphone worth P 7,000 ( more or less), payment was sent already but no item was delivered on the expected date of delivery. My officemate tried to communicate with the seller but to no avail.
Lesson learned, Do not buy an item online that involves big amount of money unless you know the owner of that item very well.
You can try also cashcashpinoy, my friend and I used to purchased products offered by them and so far no incident like that happened.
Online shopping is good because some of the items are rarely find in the actual store available in your place but be careful ..

Did you know the seller of your perfume?
Thanks for the tip. I was kinda hoping to buy some supplements from abroad and some things for my dog. I'll try the site and I hope I could get the item locally. I guess I am taking this new effort - online shopping, that is, because this is really knew tome.

Update please. I assume that the seller is from abroad based on the length of delivery.
