Some bitter On line shopping experiences faced by me are shared here for the benefit of the readers!
On Line Shopping
I don’t have a good experience with online shopping! I feel sorry to state that I have got cheated on eBay.
I am a coin collector and I ordered for a set of three one rupee coins which I knew I was getting at much higher rates than the market!
In spite of this I ordered coins for the simple reason that I am staying away from township and it was not practicable for me to collect those coins immediately then.
I having confirmed the order, made a Demand Draft for the cost of the coins and then I also included the postage charges to get my consignment.
.Bad Experience !
To my surprise I have not received any consignment for a month or so. When I enquired with the concern agent, I got the reply to give a new address as they claimed that they couldn't deliver the consignment on the old one, to which I obliged.
But then there after also I never received any thing from them so far!
Once Again I was Cheated!
There after I wanted to purchase a gem stone on eBay and when I wanted a certificate from them about the purity they have mentioned that the stone is something else than what they have described in their advertisement,
They were demanding charges for the certificate which was amounting about the same or bit more than the cost of the stone it self. My subsequent corresponding in this regard has not paid me any thing in positive!
Now Big No To On Line Shopping!
After these experiences, I have stopped visiting the site and never ever dared to buy anything on line there after!
I hope this piece of information will be helpful for fellow members of MP5 and they will be careful in future before entering into any deal on line!
What is your experience about the Online shopping?
Could you kindly share it with us? Thanks!

No, I never tried to buy anything online.
I learned few tips through online friends as like we need to read review about the seller and the date they made it are important.
