I thought to place a discussion like this within ID. The dynamics between in-person trading and online shopping are interesting. With online shopping I find that using places such as Ebay is not as good as using other online resources such as Amazon, and I can also find a list of information and games as well as vinyl and sound equipment from various countries. If this was a poll, I'm giving two thumbs up.
Chrono Cores:
I only tend to buy things online if I really want something, and/or I'm looking for the best price. Also, when I busted my leg up, I had no other choice but to do my grocey shopping online, as my other half was so terrified he'd buy the wrong thing, despite having a list.
I have only had one bad experience. When I was off sick, I had a spare few few pounds left over so I bought some luxury soaps from the Lush.com website only to find the website had been hacked, so I had to drag myself down to the bank, a couple of days after coming out of my cast, mind, to cancel my card and get a new one. This took TWO WEEKS!
I don't think I had my details used, but is best to be safe than sorry.
