Do you love it or do you avoid it? I both love AND avoid it.
What are your reasons for doing so? I enjoy being able to find the exact DVD or CD I want, but when it comes to clothes and gifts I usually prefer to pick them out in person. I also hate paying for shipping and waiting around for the UPS/Fed-Ex person, or fighting with USPS when they can't find my package at the post office.
What sites do you prefer and why? I use Amazon.com for books, CDs, and DVDs. When I had a Windows computer I used Newegg.com a lot. I actually purchase most of my undergarments (ha) from victoriassecret.com because I know what size I am and their selection online is much better than in-store.
Is there anything that convinced you to buy something when you normally wouldn't? (Evil question, I know.) Well, a good deal and free shipping usually helps if I'm on the fence about something.
Are there any website features that you enjoy that help you shop? I love reading feedback. And if I'm looking at clothing, sizing. Electronics, DVDs, etc: specifications are important. I don't buy if I can't guarantee that the DVD I'm looking at is widescreen because the item description doesn't include it.
How do you research what you are going to buy? Google, feedback scores & comments on websites selling the item.
What kind of products do you buy? Electronics? Media? Clothes? Depends, but primarily media. Sometimes clothes, but usually only if I know my size in that brand already.
What's the most "personal" (something that you're picky about and usually need to check out in person before you buy) item that you've purchased online? I have never bought shoes online because fit is so important. I will check "toys" out at Hustler before buying sometimes, and often can get a better deal online for the same thing.
