To be honest, shopping online for me isn't my usual way of doing things. For the past years I have done most of my shopping, whether it be for Christmas or just buying clothing, at stores. Although, I really do like the idea of shopping online and sometimes actually dread going out and buying stuff in stores when I could easily get it online for possible even cheaper. So, right now I am still shopping at stores, but hope one day will make the transition into online shopping.

I do shopping online. Most of it every month. I usually conduct training and there are items that I need to use for my training which I buy online. I find it an advantage most especially that all I need to do is send the details of my order through email and everything is process without the hassle of going through a lot of things. I pay my purchases on a secure link so I never have to bother or worry about security. I have been doing this for the last 3 years.

I think that I am about 55/45 as per shopping online vs. not shopping online. Of course, that is just a rough estimate and there are months where I do not shop at online at all. Of course, there are going to be months where I don't shop all that much at all. You got to save about all that you can in this day and age, otherwise you'll get tripped up and have all kinds of issues. Still a fair bit of my shopping is done online, due to the fact I don't really like straying too far from my house, with the gas prices being what they are. Along with the fact that there are going to be a lot of times where it can be a waste to drive to get something, only to find out that it is not there. That point is rapidly reaching the point where it does get on my nerves. And there are good deals to be found if you know where to look and the website is trusted.

I don't really care for shopping online, but I will do it occasionally, but like you I wont buy anything really expensive. I have bought maybe movies on DVDs, books, figurines, PC games but that's pretty much it. I just don't trust online shopping for the really big expensive stuff.

For security reasons, I shop only low priced products. I am afraid to waste my money on the internet. I suppose to be using it to fund my bills in school.

I find it easy ordering online especially if the item is what I really need and not just want. I always buy my baby's stuff and clothes online since some are not available in the market and I don't have the time to go out of the house because of my little one. In terms of gadgets, I also rely on ordering online since I can compare the prices and read the reviews first before I buy the item. Sometimes, the cost online is cheaper than the cost of items in the mall. I personally like sites that offers free shipping and has an option for COD or has a lot of offers for paying which is not a big deal.

When it comes to things that I use on a day to day basis, there are none of those things that I will buy online, I really prefer the convenience of just being able to run to the store and buy the things as I need them. Also, I've never bought a big ticket item online either because I like to see them in the store and I like the warranties that come with things that you buy in local stores. However, when it comes to gifts for my children and my family, I do buy the majority of those things online from Amazon because I earn a lot of Amazon gift cards through the course of a year.

I just got my son in his birthday/Xmas present in from online. Got him an Pentax SLR Camera. he loves it. And I bought me a brand new Dell 10" netbook. Other than that I use ebay and get my candle tarts, and jewelry for my son online. The prices on these were so much cheaper than in regular stores. I got my son in some fishing line from ebay and it was tons cheaper than going to even Walmart. It came all the way from China and was extremely well made. Happy Mylotting

I love it when i see the things i have to buy. I have experienced buying a blouse online, only to be disappointed when it arrives. The quality of the clothe is not as good and nice as it is in the picture. From then on, i do my shopping in actual mode. I enjoy shopping specially for clothes and bags, where i could try them and feel them.

Well, I buy a few small things online that I like, mainly clothes or accessories. I don't trust the internet for shopping for technologies, I rather go to an actual store to have some advice and other feedback on how to use it in stores. I'm like addicted to ebay right now, I love browsing through clothes and shoes, it's fun just sitting there searching through a whole list of stuff. I can also use the search options to minimize and find the stuff that I really want and can afford. There's some cheap branded stuff too that I can get. Besides that, I don't do much online shopping. I know some people shop for groceries online but I rather go to the actual store and pick out my groceries. But shopping online is quite convenient as some people these days are so busy to physically go out to the store, saves fuel! So I only trust online shopping for the small stuff that don't cost much. For the big things, I need to go to a store.

I don't usually shops online. I don't feel quite secure with online shopping. However, I did booked several hotels from agoda website when I brought my girlfriend for her birthday trips. It worked just fine. I also bought some air tickets online using my visa debit card which is very convenient. On the other hand, I transferred funds to other's account which usually worked fine but there is once that the fund never reach the other end. I called my bank several times and failed to solve it. Anyway, I advise you to be cautious with online shopping and transfer.

I have never tried to do shopping online because I have second thoughts of it of security. I am afraid to be scammed. Though I am tempted to buy because of cheaper prices compared to what you see on malls. I am also thinking of the shipment cost sometimes it is also costly. I weigh things before I buy. I opt to cheaper but lasting things.

I have not done shopping online, since that one time when I ordered a computer software which I never received. That was a big lesson. I buy things at the shopping malls only after actually seeing right in front of my eyes the thing I want to buy.

I do as much of my shopping as I can online. I hate going into stores. So much easier to shop anytime I want in the comfort of my own home and have the stuff delivered to my door. And there are also great deals that are only available online.

I tend to do my shopping online, mostly for electronics though, especially when the online stores offer free shipping. Makes everything more convenient, the specifications of the electronics are stated online, make its unnecessary for me to go visit and see it for myself. It is also a bonus, if they offer the same return policy as if it was buying from their store directly. I wouldn't buy items I cannot return or confirm that it is what I need. Always check for the return policy.
