ok, Shopping is one of my hobby, but when come to online shopping I feel like its abit un-secure. Did you all always shopping online? Ever been cheated before? Mind to share your experience?

I'm looking for any good place to buy 2nd hand stuffs online like for those branded handbag (Prada, Gucci, LV, etc...). Any members know any good website?

I've bought something off of Cafepress.com before. But I knew I wanted it 'cause I designed it. And it turned out pretty nice. :]

Same to my friend, she bought a handbag online. But took more than 1/2 year to get the delivery. In the 1st we all thought that forever won't get the thing. But at the end she got it. But not every time to be so lucky. For me I only bought for "service" like buy chocolate as present direct send to their house, or buy the internet stuffs like web hosting service or pay bill online. Other than that never dare to try before. tongue.gif

always make sure when you buy something from someone to check their feedback! if they don't have good feedback then i wouldn't reccomend buying from them. but even then you always got to be careful. yes i think something like that happened to me..it took me a month to get it though. in the end the lady apologized and gave us our money back. i still got the item though! hehe biggrin.gif

the only things i buy online are concert tickets. i can tell when it's safe or not to give away the credit card #. sometimes i thought've buying stuff online at the typical stores but i dont try only because i dont always know the size.

i was about to buy stuff on ebay til they asked you for too much information and i just didnt feel like giving any more info. it's weird cause i know everyone practically uses ebay and trusts it. oh well. i guess bidding is just not my thing.

I've never tried before.. because my parents wont let me. They don't 'trust' the internet.
I heard ebay is one of the best though. You just have to read all the print and stuff so you wont get ganked.

If i shop online its probably for anime or Cds. Yesasia is really good if you want to buy cds cuz it costs less than amazon and Ebay sucks cuz it takes too long to buy something and i dont trust the people that sell on ebay lol =D

I buy EVERYTHING ON EBAY. Its much cheaper then regular prices. You see, i give my money to my dad, and he buys it on Paypal from his money on his credit card--that easy. Experience? One time the wrong item was mailed to me instead of the one i ordered. I sent it back, and the seller gave the money back.

I only shopped online once for a Livestrong bracelet, I don't think it's that safe to shop online.
Stupid phishers.

It is unsecure. Hackers come in. But I ask to buy stuff on YesAsia, Amazon, Ebay, but nothing that's not spoken around or not trusted.

Only for stuff like... band tee's and other merchandise you can't find in stores. And it's always on their official website, so atleast there's a sense of a LITTLE security.

I tried buying from bands' official sites (Halifax and The Format), but they still haven't sent me my shirts yet. It's been 6 months. stubborn.gif

As long as its a credible site, you should be fine. I've done it lots of times on places like amazon and ebay.

I never really had the desire too. I'm not even sure if this is considered shopping, but when I need plane tickets, I get them online. I'm sure if I did ever need to buy something online, my parents would have no problem with it. As long as they know what it is and how much it costs.
