online auctions

I don't buy online nor rely on online stores. I only go online to research on the product and buy it on local stores. The disadvantage of online transaction is the danger of being scammed and losing the product plus your money. Maybe, in the future, just for the fun of it, I may try to throw away a few thousand online to see if it actually works.

it depends. there are some online auctions that are reliable there are some that aren't. not all ebay sellers are trusted too so that's why you have to check the seller's feedback to find out. there are some guidelines to find out if you're being scammed or not. just check online, i'm too lazy to search it now. ;)
