    Yes, I buy electronic items through ebay.in, rediff.com, buyincoins.com etc. All are good except one item which I received from rediff.com

    Earlier today, i purchased an item from this seller and i checked back in an hr after i payed for it. its gone, it's not there anymore on ebay (the item). they should still have the item since at that time, it said "Buy Now"? or did they take it out after i payed for the item and are they just gonna take my money and not gonna send me nothing??

    its good, but expensive (in terms of shipping and handling) and sort of somewhat unsafe, if ur credit / debit card account is hacked.
    so better stay away unless and until very much needed to.

    I use ebay pretty regularly as a matter of fact. Its nice to find physical products to be had at lower prices than the real world market value. Its just smart shopping.

    I do alot of online shopping. It is convenient for me. Sure I have bought things and had to return them but let's be realistic, haven't you bought things offline and had to return as well. I do pretty much all of my christmas shopping online. I love to sit around and night and shop in my pajamas. No crowd fighting etc. I love online shopping. I would do my grocery shopping online if I could and pay the few extra dollars for delivery LOL

    from abroad, I shop on Amazon and ebay. Oh, and one time we ordered furniture delivery from Ikea. That was cool, they actually take all you buy into your appartment. Good service!

    I shop online a lot otherwise in my country. From food delivery to electronics. Not to forget e-public administration.

    I buy almost all my electronics online. I don't do clothes because I like seeing how they look in person. Everything else I'm down to buy on the net.

    i buy most things online as well :) especially electronics and things that are usually expensive, since you can get a much better deal online :) I don't use a credit card, I use a prepaid card I bought for the purpose of buying stuff online. I also use that card on my pp and I use paypal often.

    In fact, I don't even have cable or a TV, I even only watch tv online. I have a huge monitor and keep 1 of my PCs in the living room on a cart :D

    I've bought clothing, computers, laptops, netbooks, printers, GPSes, cigar/tobacco related products, and lots of other stuff from the internet.

    In fact most of my desktop PCs and laptops have been bought from eBay. With eBay, and most any other site, you need to make sure it's from a reputable seller.

    Now selling online is a whole different matter. I recently sold some cards I had (well more like 4000) and the buyer ended up filing a complaint against me to get his money back. When I finally found time to inspect the cards a few days later I found that the cards were damaged due to his poor repacking and hundreds of the cards were missing, specifically of one card type.

    It still looks like eBay is going to find in favor of the buyer, though... it's a shame cause I'm actually being honest and he's lying out of his ***.

    I like to buy on eBay, but for clothes I prefer offline, so that you can try if the clothes suits you well.

    My girlfriend ordered a GPS for her dad from the BestBuy website and they accidentally double charged her. She started ranting and raving about "that's why I don't order crap online" but it was totally invalid. I've had people IN STORES do that to me before. In fact I argued that I've had it happen to me less online than offline.

    I buy a lot of new things on-line and I am always satisfied with what I get
