People tend to use online shopping these days. Sales in online mediums have been slightly increasing when compared to conventional ones. There are some advantages and some disadvantages of online shopping. It is much easier to buy something online. People can easily find whatever they want for special in online shopping through the

web

sites.

Such

as eBay, Amazon and Etsy are good

web

tools when you search for something.

For example

, if I try to find special books which are important in my area of expertise, I always find them online.

Furthermore

, I can compare prices and check the delivery options.

On the other hand

, I remember that I was so exhausted trying to find a special book in bookstores. I had to visit and ask many of them. Most of the time, it was

such

a challenging issue for me. The possibility of finding it, even, at the cheapest prices is the most common benefit of online shopping. Above these benefits, the other advantage is to understand the quality of the item. That means you may read the other users' comments and understand the quality of it.

Additionally

, you may check the seller's customer loyalty.

However

this

is sometimes can be tricky. Some of the sellers can misuse it. Some comments about the item or the seller might not be true. Because their sales are increased by the positive comments.

Therefore

, you can be cheated either by misleading or buying the item in poor quality. The other disadvantage of online shopping is your account security.

Nevertheless

, hackers can get your credit card information if you don’t consider your

web

security. Sometimes, they can get

this

information to crack the

web

mediums cyber securities. In conclusion,

it is clear that

online shopping has many advantages when you are aware of these disadvantages. If you choose to shop on trustful websites and

then

increase your protection on the Internet via special applications, you will decrease your risks.
