What attracts you to buying items online? Would you purchase from somewhere you hadn't before or do you rely on places that you've heard have a good reputation or you've ordered from before?
If you are ordering from a new site, what would make you buy an item, would it be because it's some thing unique/unusual or it looks good quality or the price is competitive?
I have my own website but it's not doing too great and would appreciate some answers to these questions.
Also if you have the time and wouldn't mind giving my site a quick glance and some feedback; I would really appreciate it!

Mostly the only time I go online to shop is if I need something and am unable to find it elsewhere. I do like that I can find anything I am looking for and it is usualy cheaper then I would have paid for it but I hate having to wait and have a lot more fun going out to shop vs sitting in front of my computer to do it.

Online shopping can be broken down into various categories:
1. Credibility - Build credibility by outlining the TOS of the website and establishing contact information. Making sure the consumer is aware of the security services you provide is also important.
2. Layout - Provide easy navigation by having various tabs for unique categories.
3. Product - The product will sell itself with an accurate picture and description
4. Pricing - It's all about supply and demand. Find the equilibrium for similar products in your market and set your pricing. Don't be afraid to play around with prices to get a better feel for your audience.
5. MAKE A KILLING!!!
