where these items can be found. In

this

essay, I will discuss the fact that

this

type of shopping, definitely has more benefits than drawbacks.

First

of all, the disadvantage of

this

kind of option is, that sometimes it can be a risky operation, while the transaction is made.

Moreover

, the money is purchased, and it had often happened, that the ordered items never arrived to the clients. Like

for instance

, Amazon or Ebay, are both very famous online platforms

and they are the best evidence to show

that the sellers didn't send the items ordered by the buyers, and they are already catalogued as being unreliable. Turning to the other side of the argument, one of the main positives of

this

is, that people can easily order from their home, and get the items delivered at their door, without making any extra effort.

Furthermore

, in

this

way, big crowds can be avoided from the shopping malls, and

this

alternative can be seen as a luxury for many people. Take as an example the young generation, who orders almost everything from the Internet.

In addition

, another advantage is that many products cannot be found in the stores, or there are shops, which are not available in each country. What I mean by

this

is that online shopping gives the opportunity to order items people wish they had, but cannot find in their own cities. I am an example of

this

myself, I often order shoes from the Nike shop, for the reason that

this

brand has no shops in my town. All things considered, online shopping has definitely more advantages than disadvantages, but people should be cautious before buying things from different sites.
