Have you ever purchased anything online before? What things do you buy online? how often do you make purchases? I made a couple of purchases today, i bought a couple of dvd's for lukey and 2 DS games for me! yay!! I'm very excited! I shop online a couple times a month and i'm alway so excited when i am waiting for something new to arrive. I love to surf for new shops and bargains i dont know about but i always check out sites like www.catchoftheday.com.au www.dealsdirect.com.au www.ebay.com.au Who always seem to have good bargains. It is good to join reward sites too, many sites will pay you money for purchases you were going to make for free.

Yes, I enjoy shopping online also! Not only does it save me time and gas since I'm not driving to the store, but I also receive cash back at several of the places I shop online (and eBay is one of those online sites!) I love getting cash back when I shop and I use the money I've received back to start buying birthday presents and holiday gifts for my sons (and then I get more cash back on those gifts, which I use to buy more...)

Cool that is a great bargain! I dont really like buying clothes on the internet because i cant try them on and i'm really fussy, maybe from a brand that i know so i know my sizes.

i have bought some cool things online for sure. i was planning a bd party for my sister with an african safari theme. i bought an african villiage picture on a banana leaf, a manican's head to put a safari helmet on. mosquito net, leopard print party plates w matching napkins. a small bamboo candle torch that set on the table, an african tribal mask. those were items i couldn't have found elsewhere and helped to make my sister's bd extra special.

I never experience purchasing something on line. I always have this fear of buying something, then your credit card will be deducted with the amount but the item you brought wont arrive. That's what keeps me from shopping on line.

I purchased a cell phone, RAM and charger. I buy only electronic things and computer peripherals. I purchased these things through ebay.com. I believe in ebay because they directly deal from showrooms and also they will provide warranty for that. And also ebay provides money auctions, it's better to buy electronic things in ebay.

I shop online every single month. At least once a month, but usually more than once. I love that I don't have to pay for gas and get my items delivered right to my door. You can find a lot of great deals online that they don't offer in stores, either. I bought a new car stereo for my husband for $20 less than I would have paid if I had gone to the actual store. Also, I got a new PS2 memory card for less than I would have paid for a used one at GameStop. Some of my favorite stores online are Target.com, Overstock.com, BestBuy.com, InkPlusToner.com, and more. Everytime I shop online in any one of over 1200 stores, I get paid for it. I don't have to join any rewards programs, either. If you'd like to do the same, feel free to send me a PM and I'll tell you more about it or visit the link in my profile.

Yes, I've bought quite a few things online. I do most of my shopping in person at the stores, but if I have a difficult time finding something that I really need or want, then I always check for it online. It seems like you can find just about anything online! I've done some shopping on ebay to save money, and also on regular store websites. I've even bought clothes online before, although I try not to do that very often since I like to be able to try them on first. Shopping online can definitely be a good money saver though!

I have purchased things from online before and I still do. I used to use ebay a lot more and not only to buy but to sell sometimes too. just extra junk laying around the house but I don't buy that often from online because i hate having to pay shipping and a lot of times you can find better deals online but the shipping usually always kills it and might as well buy it from the store that way you don't have to wait for the shipping, ya know? I do like shopping online though I feel like I can find anything I want and that i have more to choice from in everything. and i agree about the rewards sites. I just use mypoints or something like that when i shop online since i don't shop that often.

Yes, I have shopped online and purchased some foods, vitamins, stuff for house, and toys for me to use for business. Finding online stores can be risky, but always check BBB to see if the store is fraud or real. Check the location of the store t hat it is legal, easy way to contact the store. If the store is a fraud, you will notice that they only offer email without legal information such as address and phone number. They do not response calls. They have bad name of BBB. There are more way to detect fraud store.

yes i have purchased a story book online.I usually buy things from shops after being determined by its perfection but the things which i cannot get in the shops are gettable here on the net like special books with authors matching. To get something for free is much tuff according to me,to get something we have to work on it. well,purchasing is much easier due to the net but i am only satisfied when i touch,see and buy it myself in a shop,thats my personal feeling.

No, I have never shopped online before. It's much more convenient to shop online, but still have disadvantages. I feel that shop online is risky. We can't check the products on the spot, if want to exchange will be anoying. Besides that, during the dedlivery period, if lost or damaged, there will be no warranty.

Have you ever purchased anything online before? Yeah I have purchased quite a few things online. What things do you buy online? It depends on when I want something that I can get cheaper online than I can get it in the shops. how often do you make purchases? I do not have a regular figure like "every week" sometimes I will buy a lot of things in one day and then nothing for another month. I bought "Mario Kart" for the Nintendo DS today for my sister (she is giving me the money, but she is not very good with the internet and does not have paypal etc).

I bought my laptop online. there really are some things which are cheaper in the store while there are some that are cheaper online. I guess it's all about knowing the difference and making the right choice. This laptop costs way more in the stores but I got a very good deal over at Amazon, plus I saved on shipping and taxes as well! yay! It's the only purchase I've made online though. I'm thinking of saving all the earnings from myLot to purchase a digital camera online by the end of the year. I don't know if I'll make it but hopefully I do. Wish me luck!
