What is Internet Shopping? (And how can i do it)?

Question

i don't wanna sound retarded.. but .. really .. how can i do it? ((tell me everything in details, please))

Answer 1

To put it simply, internet shopping is buying merchandise from websites, all you have to do is visit a website you are interested in and choose what you want and checkout and pay for it, most sites lead you right thru this. But remember not all sites are legit and if you don't feel comfortable buying from someone , then don't/

Answer 2

That is alot of detail you are asking for. I'll do what I can

Just like going into a mall: Look for a mall map....internet terms is a Directory:

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0ge...

The above link gives you alot of choices for a shopping directory.....some are for other countries.

As you surf(walk) through the internet you come upon a gazillion sites advertising their products....which of course you would like to buy them all....lol

So you find a "shop"....look for links like FAQ,Contact Us,Payment methods, so on....found mostly on the homepage(storefront). Pay no attention to bling like"certified" 100% and all that. Look for Phone numbers and contacting them, returning items, coupons/sales/percentages off.(do a whois)

I recommend http://whois.net

Check and see if they have PayPal/Yahoo Wallet....most major cards are accepted but those 2 things store your credit card info and offer some protection against theft.

When your ready to "checkout"; if any questions arise.....write it down.....once the transaction is complete and you get a tracking e-mail....you should receive your purchase in alotted time from shipping details in FAQ.

If you are in the US.....give any major store a try to give you a practice run (Sears,JC Penny, Walmart, Target.)

The only thing you don't have is the infamous mall Food Court.......although....you can order food online.....

This is not all the details of course. Just a brief...... lol
