If the site is new and I have never shopped there before. I only shop online if the site is a "secured" site and has a https previx mudule at the beginning of the url. That "s" tells me the site is encrypted and my credit card information is safer than an http site. If it doesn't have the https. it's usually a site I have done business with before and never had any problems with.  :thumbsup:

Depends on what it is.  I just bought my mother some CD's on Amazon because I probably wouldn't have been able to find it in a store.  If it's clothes I prefer to shop in the stores that way I can try it on, especially shoes.  I don't mind buying electronics or health and beauty products online.  I shop eBay for a lot of the things I buy online because it's cheaper.

Listia is my new favorite, similar to Ebay, but all based on credits....sometimes the seller charges for shipping.  I've been shopping online for over ten years and MUCH prefer it to brick and mortar.

I love shopping online but a person has to be careful I wouldn't buy from a business I am not familiar with for fear of scams but you can also help protect yourself by creating a sepparate bank account for online transactions only.

If I have to be sneeky about buying a gift I might go on-line, but I like to shop the old fashioned way.  I don't like to put out my money for an item that I haven't got to see yet. :dontknow:

I like to shop in store better for most items, but I do a lot of shopping online. I think I spend more money when I shop that way though.

I dont do too much shopping online. Heard many horror stories with credit cards. How safe do you feel shopping online?

 :D  I do like to shop online.  Just don't make to many purchases.  It's a great way to find out about different products that I don't have in my area.

I tend to buy only books, CDs, and video games online. I buy everything else at a store.

I love to shop online and sometimes that is bad for me.  I see something and got to have it and then I buy it and then I see something else so I get it as well.  So it can be bad for me.

I do most of my shopping online. I do a lot of my online shopping at Kohls and department stores lol...last year I did all of my christmas shopiing online without any problems.  I recently ordered some stuff from overstock.com and received part of it right away and the rest has taken about 15 days for me to receive. but i know that it's on it's way so i'm not worried

I LOVE to shop online!  I must say at Christmas I did 99% of my shopping online!  I go through a website and get cash back for buying online and received a $50+ check for shopping online.  I haven't shopped much since Christmas, but prefer to shop online vs. in store.

Yeah for a long time I felt the same way about shopping online still do sometimes, but Amazon is so awesome I'm glad I gave it a try sometimes I buy with cash, and sometimes I get free stuff on amazon its so fun getting free stuff and buying things for great rates and waiting for a knock on the door and unwrapping the item, and not having to waite in line is cool. :thumbsup:

I like shopping online for everything except clothes.  It's so much easier, and gas is more expensive than shipping most things.
