I ALWAYS shop online, I rarely buy anything from stores now because it's much cheaper to buy things online. Plus Its easier, I dont even have to leave my house to get great things :) Also I find there's more variety online, and its easier to compare prices and get the best deal.

Outdated? I always get brand new items online, and if i pre-order them i get them on the day of release without even leaving my house. And for a cheaper price. Shopping online is amazing :)

i have done many online shopping a few years ago.i bought through an online shopping site locally in my country.i have been cheated once in ebay.so i think i just prefer to use a local site.because right now in ebay there are so many scams and fraudelent cases.it's getting worst.eventhough ebay is world-selling online auction but i do not think it works for me. as their management is not so secure which allows anyone to have a few registered ID and uses different ID to cheat people.beware of buying electronic poducts in ebay especially those mp4 from china seller.a china seller cheated me when i ordered a mp4.when i filed a dsipute in paypal against him hoping to get back my money it did not work.paypal couldn't do anything as the seller already took out all the funds in his account.yet it wasted my time waiting for 10 days for them to investigate it. before buying anything check out the seller rating.even if the seller have a good rating you must check properly first.because some of the fraduelent cases happened this way.the ratings they buyer gave them is are the sellers themselves actually.means they registered a different ID and gave rating to themselves.it happened a lot of times.i am telling you based on my real experience. some sellers asked the buyers to give them ratings even before they shipped the items to the buyers.last time i have messaged some of the buyers to ask their feedback about the sellers.i was shocked when they told me they did not received the item yet and was asked to give ratings first by the seller.

I buy things online all the time. I only buy from websites that I know are reputable and that I know will reimburse me or something if something happens and I do not recieve my item because of some kind of mistake. I think shopping online really depends on where you live, where you shop and the shipping services you use. Also, the people you live near, well sometimes can't be trusted because if they see packages delivered they'll steal them.
