It is not an overstatement to say that Internet service has absolutely revolutionized the way we learn,live and work.On-line shopping is just one of the miracles in our IT age.However,people's attitudes towards this new way of shopping vary considerably. Internet fans hold that on-line shopping in a virtual shopping mall has many advantages,however,others who prefer the traditional shopping in a real department store or a supermarket argue that it's too complicated to pay on the web,and that they cannot be assured of the commodities with their own eyes before the purchase.What's more,traditional shopping,in their eyes,is the surest way to avoid fake goods,just like me,i once had an experience of on-line shopping,but the result was disappointed,from then,i have never bought anything in the web. Do you have the experiences of on-line shopping?what is your attitude to on-line shopping?

I like shopping online to a point. Through Airmilesshops.ca you can earn Air Miles when shopping in their mall of stores which includes Amazon.ca, ebay.ca, Chapters/Indigo.ca, La Senza and hundreds of other stores. I recently bought from Chapters/Indigo and they are very fast... shipped within a day, received within a week. With Amazon it takes a lot longer. I ordered something a month or so ago and checking the status I will not receive it until March 15th. My big problem right now is my credit card company send me a new card saying my current one had been compromised so they issued me a new card with a new number. They cannot tell me how it happened or that I could have prevented it. All they say is that it is NOT the credit card company's fault. Of course it isn't! Anyway, because of this I am very leery of using my credit card online now.... or anywhere else because the machines at stores can be tampered with, or their employees can keep the information. But I love it online because I don't have to walk and drive a lot to look around for what I want and compare prices.

maybe paying means with credit card is not perfect,after all,safety fuce is not perfect because this is a jumped-up trade.

Ilove online shopping. I did most of my christmas shopping online. It's easier to find things. I live in a small town, we don't even have a Walmart so online shopping is the only way I can find some thngs. Ebay is the greatest. I shop there all the time.

Yes i do.. i have done shopping with ebay and have got the products of good quality but the only problem is high cost for those who are outside US. I have done shopping in sify but the product was of second hand quality and does not function properly. All we have to do is to verify the seller of the product to know whether he is clean.All transactions are based on pure trust.
