-Do you love it or do you avoid it?I have had both positive an negative experiences buying things online. As a college student without a credit card, I tend to use Ebay the most. A couple of times I got shafted, but not by Ebay, but by the individual seller. That's the one downside to Ebay; you are not buying from them, you are buying from some unknown person on the other side of the country. You really have no idea who you are dealing until after you've dealt with them. But still, most of my experiences on Ebay have been fine.
-What are your reasons for doing so?It's convenient to shop without having to actually go anywhere. I'm not a fan of large crowds wondering aimlessly around a shopping mall. If I can shop from my computer, I'm going to do it. Plus, somethings are just too hard or impossible to find out and about. Sometimes online is your only venue.
-What sites do you prefer and why?I'm a big fan of Ebay, but have also used Amazon.
-Is there anything that convinced you to buy something when you normally wouldn't? (Evil question, I know.)Nope.
-Are there any website features that you enjoy that help you shop?Ebay has a way to find out the dirt on a particular seller. If they have a negative rating, you know not to buy from them.
-How do you research what you are going to buy?I research the seller. If he/she has a positive rating, then I will do business with them.
-What kind of products do you buy? Electronics? Media? Clothes?I've bought some clothes; mostly I buy DVDs
-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 don't think I've ever purchased something that I would need to see in person first.
