I've yet to have a bad experience with shopping online. o:

I don't buy that many things online, only games, manga etc. that I can't find in my local shopping centre/ mall. I'd rather not buy clothes from the internet because I'm between two sizes and can't be bothered to send things back like some online stores offer. XD

Well, I've never personally ordered anything online.

My parents have done it for me. I think the only things I've ever ordered online are bassoon reeds, a One Piece DVD (FUNimation NOT 4Kids!), and a text book for my Music Appreciation class.

All of those within the last year. All of those orders worked out just fine. :D

Most stuff. For example, I have bought my laptop online, my mouse, some memory for an older computer, a replacement GBA battery cover, a headset, a replacement for that headset, my Steam games, and a lot more.

I USED to buy everything online until my paypal was overcharged 36 dollars. Which I had to pay $200 dollars to clear everything up.

My paypal was hacked and purchased something on eBay. I had to pay the auction price which was 36 dollars. Then I had to pay 36x2 for the overcharger, then another 150ish to close my bank account.

What a hassle that was...

I buy a lot of stuff online. I recently got burned by an Amazon Marketplace seller who never sent the DS Lite they promised... fortunately Amazon refunded my money.

eBay's my main method to get my hands on rare anime goods that would otherwise be unavailable outside of Japan.

I buy online a fair bit. Mooost of what I buy is actually Pokemon stuff off of people on LJ but I also commonly buy video games, books, etc. I try to stay away from eBay because shipping prices can be so insane for small things but I have bought from there in the past.

Honestly, most of my stuff comes from people on Livejournal. XD;

I buy many things online, I use a specific credit card though, that way I can manage any and all purchases with it. It's also nice to have a limit on it and not have it tied directly with my account.

I order most of my stuff online nowadays, normally from Amazon and occasionally eBay depending on what I'm looking for.

Worst that's ever happened to me was when I ordered a CD, which a month later hadn't arrived. The seller said it had been lost in transit and I was refunded, so it wasn't really bad after all, besides not getting the CD, but I was able to get it elsewhere.

Yep. I've done it at least twice. I've been doing it a lot more because the stuff I want isn't found in stores anymore. I got my Ichigo Kurosaki plush off Amazon because I've always wanted one. When my dad gets his next check, I'm going to bug him to order me a plush of Toshiro Hitsugaya. \o/

the most recent stuff I've been buying online will have to be body jewelery such as Ear gauges and Flesh tunnels because I'm too lazy to leave the house to get them or may end up going somewhere for no reason
