buy something on the internet?

I usually purchase stuff online but only locally. I think the shipping cost if I have to purchase abroad will be very high and not practical. I'm not scared of being scammed actually but I'm scared of the shipping cost hehe.

I purchase many different things on the internet. I frequently buy things off of Ebay. I have made international purchases also more than once. I have never been disappointed. It is easy to do and a lot less hassle than going to the store most of the time. When I first started making purchases online I was worried about it. There have only been 2 times that I have not received the items that I paid for. However, with Ebay, you have buyer protection so I was reimbursed for the money that I had spent. However, the rest of my online shopping experiences have been wonderful.

Yes, I buy most products on the Internet. I tend to buy goods from my own country, but I will buy software from anywhere in the world because that is usually downloaded. I am very careful about what websites I used though, and will only use websites that I know are good companies that have good, well-known reputations for honesty. _Derek

I have bought a lot on the internet. Because I live in the Netherlands and have found that I cannot get everything I am looking for here. And to be honest it is much cheaper to buy it from countries like USA since the dollar is very low compared to the Euro which we have here. I must say that it is a risk of being scammed, but if you buy from sellers who have good feedback or are a great shop then the risk is lower. I have never had any trouble buying on the net from another country.

Hi, nowadays more and more poeple are using internet to buy and sell things as it is cheap, easy etc. On any auction site seller is always given a creditability on his each and every transaction, moreover feedback is taken from each buyer and is posted on his page regarding his last transaction, his faithfulness, time taken for his delivery, material quality etc. Moreover, in his listing he needs to specify complete detail of the product he is selling. He needs to specify which courier service he will use to send the material, what are its fare rates and how much time it will take for delivery, which is more important if you are buying from another country. If complete information is not there, you may contact him using his email - id provided and confirm before buying the product. Also, even if you are not satisfied and want to return back the product some sellers give 10-15 days period in which you can send back the material. In case of dispute some auction sites(such as eBay) provide help to resolve it. I hope you like my response.

I have made purchases across the Internet.So far I prefer E-bay and have never been dissapointed by them.They ship on time and there are hardly any customs n all.But on the contrary I HATE AMAZON they are never able to ship on time and the last time I had to pay a lot of customs.Therefore I prefer ebay over amazon.

I buy books all the time over the net. I will be more apprehensive buying more expensive items.

I have and will continue to buy things on the internet as well as in local stores. Sometimes you can not find what you want in local stores. If you dont have a way to get large items home then buying online is easy way to get it sent to your house. Some stores have things that are only online and not in the stores. If i buy on ebay i make sure they have a ebay store rather than a indivigual person. And check their ratings. You have to make sure its a secure site.

i have had purchases in over the net and apparently i've never been disappointed so far. First you have to check the credibility of the seller.. you have to make sure there are several others who have already made a transaction with them and get their impression. It would be much better if you know someone about it... then track your order online.. communicate regularly

There are cheating everywhere., whether you buy international or domestic. You need to be careful and scrutinize the seller of the goods that you plan to buy. You can consider legally valid and reputed sites like eBay, amazon, etc for your purchases.

I am not comfortable shopping on the internet; I will look at things, but will not buy anything. I just don't trust internet shopping, even if I know the merchant, because of too many hackers, spying or whatever.

I have bought many things from the internet. I think the most I paid was £300 for my embroidery machine (sewing machine). We have had a few things that came all the way from Hong Kong and twice I have bought from America. We hardly ever have a problem.

The same as you, I usually buy things from native net shops. If I buy something aboard it costs to much for transit.

normally when buying anything online, make sure to read everything the seller say that thing is. i always avoid buying from sellers who did not do a good job describing the item. and if i'm buying from eBay, i will read the customer comments about the seller. there will be someone who did not have a good experience with the seller but that doesn't mean you cant trust the seller either. it is really hard to please everyone. just to get an idea. and if the item sold is an immitation/fake someone might have said something there.

I have bought from eBay and several purchases were from overseas. I had not problems at all.

i have only used ebay once. but i'm really interested in buying stuff over at the net. aside from stuff that needs fitting, i guess it's okay. you would of course need to research more about the seller for you to have a good sense of security before purchasing an item. the site also where they are actually selling should be reliable.

I buy stuff online often. I usually buy from trusted online stores. Being a fan of Asian entertainment, I frequently shop at YesAsia and CDJapan. As for other stuff I couldn't find there, I would purchase from eBay or LiveJournal communities as long as they have seller feedbacks available. These feedbacks are from other people who had a transaction with the seller, and tell us if the seller could be trusted and how well he/she transacts business. I often buy stuff through the internet because I can't find them locally. Sometimes, I am lucky to see items I have been looking for some time on our local eBay. It is a lot of savings from shipping.

i usually purchase tickets on the internet since its cheaper to buy online. i tried to buy a book once from other country and it went well, but the problem is that the item may be cheap but the shipping is 3-fold of the price of the item.

Hi! I bought yahoo stuff or tools program. I am afraid to use CC over the net, if they allow me to use WU, ill pay using it, or if they agreed using my PP funds, ill purchase it. If i want to use a card, better to use debit card not a credit card. Have a nice day!!!

i don't know really!! but i think that i will not buy anything from internet, sine there are lot of cheaters out there and there is a big jungle of cheaters ready to take away money from pockets. actually have been scammed once and i am really scared of buying online, whether its of hundred bucks or of just a dime.
