Who Here Will Only Shop On One Site?

I am a Chinese, I nearly shop everything on 2 websites from tissue paper to TV, smart phone as well we air conditioner, one is JD which similar to amazon, another one is Taobao.

Taobao offers many discounts or credits attract people shopping there while JD offers very fast delivery service with quality goods assured, gradually people in China only choose the two platforms to shopping online.

 

The main reason I shop online is because I'm always looking for the best deals. That's why I never will buy everything from one store. There are items that will be cheaper at one store but cost a little more in another store. Unless they offer price matching, each time I'm shopping I'll buy only from the store that is selling what I want at the cheapest price.

 

You may definitely need to shopping on Taobao, there you will see various products in very cheap price.

 

Until now I have bought only from ebay. If course I have made purchases on Amazon, however, on Amazon, I have only bought ebooks. On the other hand, on ebay, I have purchased electronics, fashion accessories and clothing items. Since ebay accepts paypal and paypal offers buyer's protection, I find ebay very safe place to buy things

 

It's not that I intend to but I just am mostly comfortable with one of our local sites that has my preferred methods of shopping. Also I've been shopping with them for long enough that I've experienced most of what they have to offer both positive and negative and I have mostly been pleased with their services. I wish there were more options for me to choose from in terms of where I can shop but I'm just not willing to experiment with the lesser known sites that are similar.

 

I sort of have a loyalty to Amazon I guess because I paid for Amazon Prime. I might as well buy goods from Amazon know because not only there great service, I get free shipping on everything as well.

 

I like to explore new shops. Mostly I am buying jewellery and accessories online, except clothes. I prefer to try clothes on before buying. Sometimes if items are on sale or under $20 I buy them.

 

No, there are two online stores that I will shop with usually, and those are Amazon and Ebay. But if they don't have what I am looking for, and some place else has it for a reasonable price, I can be persuaded to buy from them. But I don't like to, as I am familiar with the buying process from Amazon and Ebay.

 

If I had to choose just one, it would be eBay. They have pretty much everything you could possibly be looking for and their prices are much better than Amazon. But no, I don't shop in just one place. I look for the best deal on everything I buy and that takes me all over the net lol..

 

Josie!!!! Hello, long time no speak> I hope life is treating you well But getting back on topic, I agree about Ebay. If I was forced to choose just one though, I would also have to go with Ebay. The prices are a lot better than Amazon, and the dilivery is never longer that one to three days.

 

Helleeeeeew!!! Was just thinking of messaging you actually. Life is great, I hope all is well on your end.. the famjam, health etc. As for eBay, can't go wrong if you play it right. I haven't shopped at either in ages though lol.

 

Awwww, lovely to hear that things are going well for you I am still extremely jealous of your life in the country I have completely changed my diet, and I am feeling so good I cannot express it I have heard so many horror stories about Ebay, and that is why I was so reluctant to buy from them for years. But a lack of funds forced me to seek products there one time, and I have not been disappointed. Some sellers will try to con you, but you just have to know what to look out for!!

 

.

That's amazing, I'm so happy to hear you found what works for you. It's amazing what food does for us; really glad you're feeling well again

Just please tell me you didn't go paleo lol...

My first time on eBay was after years of fearing making ANY purchases online lol. Then I found something there I couldn't find anywhere else and I went for it. Full on addicted after that lol. Got a handle on it now though.. I only spend when I absolutely have to or desperately want something. Not out of a need to save, but a disconnect from that "stuff and things and commercialism" world I've been bitching about for so long lol. The minute my kids move out, I'm breaking out the tent for life lol. I'm finally in the perfect place for it too

 

Thank you And I don't even know what paleo is. What is wrong with Paleo though?

But wasn't Ebay, in its infancy purely an auction site, or a bidding site? That, alone, was enough to put me off. I don't want to end up paying more money for something that would have otherwise had a fixed lower price, so that also kept me away. Aren't those moments where you are forced to take the leap a blessing? We would not have known about the magic of Ebay had we not been forced to purchase from there

 

I do a lot of my shopping for supplies on eBay, because I can get them at better prices, and I've been doing it long enough to know which sellers provide quality products and service. For household goods, I will often shop at Walmart.com, but I also purchase some of those on eBay, at Target.com, and occasionally other sites, such as Overstock or Bed Bath and Beyond. I go where the prices and quality is best, and I do a lot of shopping around on different sites before making my final purchase.

 

Well on the surface this kind of seems counter-intuitive, does it not? The whole point of online shopping, for me at least, is the ease of being able to compare prices from other retailers, so limiting yourself to one store would really eliminate one of the main benefits. Of course, it you are consistently getting the best deals from a certain site, then I guess it makes sense. It probably just depends on the product. Thanks for sharing.

 

Paleo is like Meatopolis lol.. Heart Attack City.. Diabetesville.. Bad Science Town.. Don't Have The First Clue How Our Ancestors Ate and Why Would You Want to Anyway Island. Har!! I'm super hilarious lol. The only good thing about it and the reason for any benefits is the up in plant foods.. so there's that.

I never bid. That's just asking for a more expensive product, it's beyond me why anyone does it. I just tap in my highest bid last second and if I lose I lose. I won't even bother if the price and shipping combined end up more than I would pay for it in store.. on sale lol. I always got what I wanted on eBay.

 

I am not a fan of meat to be honest. I have been getting my proteins from eggs, and I eat a lot of fish. I will have meat every now and then. I am eating plenty of plants I will begin to plant and garden them soon

THANK YOU. Someone who sees the utter fault with bidding. I am guessing that if you are an Ebay seller, then bidding is a dream, because you can get stupid money for something that is worth only five cents or something. I don't know why anybody would enjoy making a game out of purchasing something. Just give me a price, and I will decide whether or not I am going to pay it. I don't need to compete with other buyers. What the hell??

 

Lol yep, exactly. "5.00, unheard of! Make that 25.00!" Lol weirdos. It's the only real issue I have there.. and waiting. I'm not a good waiter lol.
