I buy a lot on line, on Ebay and reward prgrams, there is the convience and the fact you often can get thing that you find it hard to find elsewhere plus sometimes you can get things at a great price.

Sure. There's more online these days than in physical stores. A lot of stuff no longer available in stores is still online. You get more options, and often much lower prices than you'll get in a physical store.

There are risks, of course, associated with shopping online. First is the growing prevalence of malware. According to Google, 1 in 10 of the sites they scanned in recent tests were infected with drive-by downloading keyloggers, including legitimate sites.

Whenever you use your credit card, or any form of sensitive information online, I suggest you use a GUI (Graphical User Interface) keyboard. Windows XP already has one: start\All Programs\Accessories\Accessibility\On-Screen Keyboard, and there are others you can download for free.

Another problem is not always knowing whether you are dealing with a credible vendor. A web rating tool like McAfee SiteAdvisor can help to keep you informed of who is and who isn't trustworthy. Remember that it only checks domains, not subdomains. And the signs they look for are not always exhaustive in determining credibility, though they tend to be better than you and me at knowing the difference. :)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the useful information about the keyboard. I already have mcafee firewall and site advisor, but this keyboard is something I didn't know about..


myLot reputation of 94/100. santuccie (1928)   ranked 4,117 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

You're very welcome, derek_a. And what a coincidence; I have McAfee too! I have the free, all-in-one SecurityCenter from AOL. It's greeeeeat.

I'm still paranoid, though. And paranoid is a good thing to be on the Internet. ;)


myLot reputation of 96/100. hersmart4ever (4461)   ranked 84 out of 32,950 in life  5 years ago

You really have great knowledge about the computer and the internet. Thanks for the information. I am sure that even the other readers and participants of this discussion would appreciate it.

it really is convienence for me you get to compare and research prices and what an item is like before you buy and it get delivered. i do prefer buying second hand items at a shop though its like u are meant to discover a new treasure. food shopping online really helps you to stick to a budget as you are not teased into buying something that may have not been on your list to start with

I got another good idea there. Thanks.

At first, using a method familiar to real estate agents, I am tempted to say that the advantages of buying online are "price, price, & price." However, there are other advantages as well. For one thing, online sellers are likely to give more complete descriptions of their products. Another advantage is that you can study the items without anyone hanging over you. You can take your time and not be distracted by other shoppers.

When buying online, it is important to have a good firewall on your computer and to know how to properly safeguard your financial information by buying from secure pages and using accounts that are set up with special kinds of fraud prevention. I would never buy something from a link in an email or from an unverified seller or one without legitimate feedback.

The kinds of feedback available on online sellers are another advantage of buying online, however, because you can see exactly what many previous customers have to say about both the sellers and their products.

Finally, it is not insignificant that buying online is buying from the convenience of your own home, so you don't have to get dressed up, drive the car, or worry about whether the businesses are open or closed.

I have bought hundreds of items online and saved thousands of dollars doing it. In fact, shopping online is one of my very favorite things to do!

I have bought many items on line. Firstly because they are often cheaper than I can get in stores, and secondly because it can help the on-line communities which has made this vast Internet possible. I think if nobody bought on line, the Internet would soon grind to a halt and many websites would disappear. :-)

Hi,

I actually buy items online all the time. There are many reward programs for doing this and you can actually get some great deals. However, the main reason for me buying online is to avoid all the crowds that you run into when doing your shopping at malls and on the streets. For somebody who does not like crowds, online shopping is the best.

cheers,

I am a member of www.em-pay.com site. It is a paid membership site where I am given bonuses when a new member joins under me. Until now I have many downlines and I have collected enough points to shop online. It was an enjoyable moment shopping from online. I ordered a vacuum cleaner.

I think there are many advantages of buying items online. I can save money on travel expenses such as petrol, toll and parking. I can save my energy from walking, driving and sweating. I save money on food and drink when traveling to shop for items.

I can also save time if I shop online. In short, every cost is saved if I shop online.

Shopping online is very convenient to me. If in the future they are selling fish and vegetables from online, I would definitely try and order it.
