A year ago I bought for the first time from the internet and from that day, I cannot stop shopping from the internet. I like searching trough the internet instead walking around shops and buy lots of things online. I am waiting for a laptop bag now to be delivered at home. Are you addict in shopping onlne, do you feel that shoping online may effect local stores.

i shopped online recently at american eagle it worked out ok but the site left out some key facts about the clothing that made me want to return it. when in person you can try it on, feel its softness and check it all out. so i do not like shopping online

I wouldn't consider myself an addict, although I also love shopping online when I have enough money to do so. I love it because you can often go through a GPT site, and earn a little cash back, and you can often enter promo-codes and get good deals on shipping, and sometimes it's just easier to shop online than to run around and find whatever it is you need. Also, you save gas money (although, I suppose, you pay extra shipping, so I suppose it probably breaks even).
The only downside with shopping online rather than in-person is that you don't get to experience that classic "shopping experience". When I shop at malls, it's usually with friends, and we make a lot of fun out of it, and it gives us an excuse to see eachother. You can't do that with online shopping.
I'm not sure how it affects the local economy, though. Unless you usually buy from local boutiques (or something like that), you're pouring your money into the same company, so I don't really see how it would affect a company that you were planning on buying from anyway (in-person). (Does that make any sense? lol).

that doesn't matter shoppinmg online effects local stores but if i tell you like this i think it hurts you a lot.why because if you shop online it will effects you in such a way that you may lose doing small small things or works that what you can.if the thing is really far away from your place it is reason to order but if it is nearer to your place better to get it by going on walk so it helps to gain good health.

I completely understad your addiction! It's amazing the oportunity the internet provides with the slightest of effort, you pretty much have everything available in the world available to be delivered to your door. with a few searches you can find anything you ever wanted! Ebay is a great site for bargains because of all the competition there the prices are low. But online shopping is much more than ebay, almost every shop has an online store these days. I also love to participate in group buy discounts in my state.
