I think online shopping has really become very popular nowadays. There are already lots of people who shop online because it is much easier and quicker to do and at the same time you wont have to leave your home to buy something. You could even pay online like using your creditcard or paypal payment. But there is always risk when doing your shopping online, there is always risk that hackers could use your creditcard info when paying online that is why its really is very important to be careful when doing payments online.
How about you?
Do you also buy stuffs online?

I buy many, many things online. Through PayPal, credit cards, etc. I think the whole safety issue is overblown by protective and sensitive people. If you are informed about how to protect yourself online, using credit cards and information shouldn't cause as much concern because you know what to do. Of course there should always be precautions taken, but being savvy to these things is what really counts. Those who get scammed are largely the ones who are naive, gullible and/or uninformed.

I think maybe its because when you do transactions online there is really a big risk involved and it takes a lot of trust to do one successfully. I know you cant do a 100% secure transaction online whether you are buying or selling because you dont get to know the person you are doing your transaction with. I think it just takes trust and a lot of luck making one successful transaction online. I know that there are also honest people who are doing business online and there are also some who are there to cheat people. I heard experiences of some people who had successful transactions online the frist time they tried it and i also heard from some who where scammed even three times in a row from their first time trying one.

yes got most my clothing online nowadays. Too lazy to go out.
Go to does recognize shop like old navy/forever21(these are the ones i frequent) should be quite safe.
But one thing bad is the size issue. often got things that don't fit


myLot reputation of 95/100. nrtan2000 (1027)   ranked 443 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Its nice if the clothing you order online would fit you without you having to try it on before your pruchase. But i think that would not always be the case because some people who even try on the clothes they have bought complain about the fit even if they have tried it on before buying. I think it is also possible that the clothes shrink after being washed in the laundry. Its actually hard to tell which size you fit especially if you are buying online because some sizes like small, medium and large differe from the brands you are buying. Your size might be large from one brand but it may be just small from the other brand that you would be buying. I think size differences are quite common especially to shoes. A certain size would differ depending on the brand that you are buying.

yes, i do buy stuff online, as much as I can I make use of paypal as my payment processor but of course there are times when paypal isn't available on a site, then I make use of a debit card that I use solely for online purpose.


myLot reputation of 95/100. nrtan2000 (1027)   ranked 443 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I heard that paypal is not always safe, there are times that people also got scammed even when paying with paypal. I think paypal is also much safer as compared to other payment methods because you could get your payment back if the seller does not ship you order but the flaw there is that if your seller shipped something even if the item was different from your order, the seller could get away with your payment because paypal only would just guarantee the shippment of the item but not guarantee if the shipped item is really the right item you have ordered.
Im not quite familiar with the use of debit card but i think its like a prepaid card where you could use to pay online and other shopping expenses.

Hi there!happy

I have never tried buying online but I was actually planning to. I wanted to buy extra oil for my dog's hair clipper and some stuffs they need. Stuffs that we don't have here in the Philippines but I'm afraid to try it. Not because of the credit card issue cause I have money in my Paypal account and I can use that money, but it I don't like to be buying something I have not actually seen or touched. You know, just making sure that it's the right stuff that I need. And I know if I make a mistake, I cannot return the item back. Besides, it takes about a month or so until the item is delivered to me and I don't like waiting that long. sad


myLot reputation of 95/100. nrtan2000 (1027)   ranked 443 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Same here, its hard to choose items online and you would just be wasting your money if you would be buying something online and finding out later that you could not use it. Actually it really takes a long time for your item to arrive if you would be buying something from outside the coutry and at the same time the shipping would also be expensive because most online stores would not shoulrder the shipping expenses for your item. I think shipping for the US to the Philippines would cost around $20 or Php1,000 which is really expensive if you would just be shipping one item. I think its really much better if you know someone from ourside the country whom you could trust so that it would be much easier to specify what you really want to buy and there would be much lesser risk of being scammed.


myLot reputation of 99/100. iskayz (3102)   ranked 11 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Yeah,happy I agree with you that it's better if we have someone in the US who can buy the stuff for us. It's much safer. Sigh.. so I guess my money would just have to say in my Paypal account until I could use them.

Happy posting!wink

I usually buy stuff online. I only buy from local sellers though, because it's easier to pay and the shipping fees aren't too expensive. Sometimes the shipping fees are entirely neglected because I could meet up with the seller and get the item immediately.


myLot reputation of 95/100. nrtan2000 (1027)   ranked 443 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

What kind of sites do you buy from? What payment terms do you do? I think if the items i would be buying are just within our area i would rather just go there and buy it myself. I would just be buying things online if the item is can not be found here in our place and if it is cheaper in other place including the cost of shipping.

If the things is not availabe at my palce, then, yes I will shop online, but if not, I prefer to buy it offline, at shop. But there are things that are much more convenient to buy online like flight ticket and travel purchase. Also paying bills, is it consider buy or paying? ANyway, it involve money. Happy Mylotting

well,
i am aware that buying stuff on the internet is the most popular mode of buying things, however na i do not wish to risk putting my personal details on the net. At the same time i am not really very sure what i am about to receive. You are accessible to everything in stores too. I wish to look at what i am buying before i actually do.

cheers

No, I do not buy anything on-line. Except for renting referrals or upgrading account of PTC sites. I never shop though. It is risky since the seller might not send you what you bought. Also, they might, as you said, hack your account, personal information or Credit card account. Which is very dangerous. I suppose shopping on the internet is very popular because it is cheaper and very quick, but it's too risky for me, since I don't shop much anyway so I don't really mind.
