    what about you?
    ever order stuff online?
    if so, do you frequently?
    and/or do you have any bad experiences?
    please, share

    edit: online shoppers, what sites do you use to buy your stuff?

    I buy 70% of the times online.

    I recently bought trousers and shoes from amazon, lol. They sent me a free MUG and next day delivery =P.
     
    I buy just about everything online. Good luck trying to find an eSATA cable in small town stores.
     
    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
     
    Ugh, I've ordered LOTS AND LOTS of DVD's and books o3o
     
    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.
     
    Ironically, the laptop I'm currently using was bought online. I don't have a credit/debit card, so when I do shop online it's usually for books.
     
    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...
     
    when it gets to christmas I look on ebay for pokemon plush
    not to frequently lol like a week every 4 onths
    2 years ago I ordered a lot of pokemon stuff in a set and it must of got lost lol
    then again I have 4 things off ebay ^^; so yeah I don't but that much stuff of it unless I desperatly want it
    (which I happen to be doing now lol why the smeargle plush have to be so damn rare and cute)
     
    only a few itmes like games and controllers. the onlybadexperience i had was a 16mb ps2 memory card which only saved 200 kb ofmeory and then stopped wrkin
     
    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.
     
    One tip: Don't buy electronics off those bidding sites. They will be faulty a lot of the time :| - Cables would be ok to buy. I got an N64 one which was brilliant.
    Anything other than electronics can be great to buy off the internet. My mum buys loads off eBay.
     
    I often buy videogames, books, and plushies from Ebay or Amazon, they always come rather quick too so that's always nice :)
     
    I buy a lot of things online.
    Ebay is a big consumer of my online purchasing.
    Then I buy off certain sites if they have any decent deals going.

    Like HMV with the MW2 prestige gaming pack :D
