now a days as e-shopping is more into business and sites like ebay and others are providing good range of products. do you buy online or go to shopping malls. I use both. When i am free i use to visit mall or else i try to shop online but i try not to buy electronic or breakable products online. online shopping is good when the product you need is not available in your city. isn't it ?

Hello patialvi.You're right. On-line shopping is good when the product is not available in malls. I havent tried on-line shopping yet but, I would love to try.

yes, you should as there are variety of products available online. but be carefull while choosing payment option and visit the site from which you wanna buy and take opinions of your other friends.

I love shopping online to tell the truth. First, the choice is really increadible, second it's easier to find discounts and if I find smth really nice, with 75% discounts, for example, it just thrills me. Mall for me is more like entertainment. The way to look at people and show yourself. But it's nice also. Everybody knows that for a woman shopping is the bestest stress reliefe and pleasure. So, online I'm hunting for good and cheap products and in mall I enjoy the process of shopping itself.

sometimes i do buy things online. it's very addictive! i love to browse through the items online too. of course i also like to go to the store coz then i can touch, look or try the item..but i'll get stuff online if the item i want is not available in my country, or if it is, it's cheaper to get it online

I love shopping online. Very rarely do I go out to malls or places like Wal-Mart and Target for things like electronics, clothes, etc. I've been buying most of my things online. Mostly Amazon, but if you love Wal-Mart or Target, you can buy from them online as well. I've bought a few things from walmart.com, adidas.com, etc. Amazon is my "online shopping mall." It has everything that I may need. The prices are great too. Sometimes they are higher than other places, but that's where research and comparison comes in, just like you'd do hands-on in a real store.

I had this bad experience while e-shopping for a box of CD's... the seller send me substandard and damaged CD's... and it was through e-bay! I complained, and so did the others who were conned, but guess the seller made a fast buck and disappeared. That has been my first and last e-shopping experience

I buy online occasionally. It saves me time and money. I like to shop for products that I find in my local stores but at a cheaper price or different color. I don't like to buy electronics online because I want to be able to see the product in person to know I'm not being ripped off.

Well, i do both.. when there's certain product that isn't available in the mall then i'd try to check it online... but i prefer shopping for clothes at my favorite shopping mall.. i usually buy gadgets online because they are way cheaper than the local gadget shops.. plus, you can ask for a little discount.. cool isn't? =)

I like online shopping, but it associate the cost of shipping all the time. I prefer to go to the local stores if they have things available there. I would rather get it instantly, and I can see the quality myself.

i don't buy anthing online. i visit local market for the stuff i need and if the stuff is not available in the market then i ask my husband to get it and he buy it online. online shopping is good to some extent but not for every product as electronics can be damaged while reaching you or you can get a defective piece. But still its ok, i think we should give it a try.......
