Online shopping is replacing shopping in stores. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Owing to the current trend, it is undeniable that online shopping has become more widespread among populations around the world within a short period which conduces to diverse aftermaths whether they are beneficial or not. From my perspective,

this

phenomenon tends to bring about harmful development more than favourable and I will explain my ideas why I believe like that in the essay below.

To begin

with, E-commerce has gradually vanished small businesses in an indirect way. As people nowadays have hectic lives, every minute is precious so they choose to purchase

goods

online rather than department stores or local markets because they do not want to waste their time spending on driving or walking to these places.

As a result

, those small companies which cannot access the various E-commerce websites are fully affected by the consequences of shopping online' rate growth.

Furthermore

,

this

method of selling causes more cheating on clients. To illustrate,

buying

Change preposition

by buying

show examples

products on the internet customers cannot see and examine the merchandise;

hence

, there is a tendency that sellers will deceive consumers

such

as phoney products, not receiving

goods

, or gaining

goods

that do not like the products on the internet.

On the other hand

, shopping online will have a positive outcome on the businesses which are able to access E-commerce applications

such

as Shopee, Lazada, and eBay.

For instance

, during the Covid-19 situation most populations who need to buy some appliance or clothing select to use these applications rather than going outside due to their safety.

Therefore

, with

this

method, customers still get

goods

they want, meanwhile, vendors still have incomes. In conclusion, the consequences of shopping on the internet which supplants purchasing from shops have both good and awful developments.

Nevertheless

, in my view, those bad beneficial outcomes outweigh the beneficial ones.
