~*Shopping*~

I use the computer to shop all the time. There are many different sites which I use to shop online.

I use Ebay to buy all kinds of things. I have used it to buy gifts and things for myself. Recent things I have bought on ebay include, a keychain, perfume, lip gloss, and a Buffalo Bills neon light. I like Ebay because it has a wide variety of products. I also like it because each individual user and seller has their own rating system. I can look at different ratings and comments which a seller has received in the past before I buy things from them. I only buy from sellers who have positive ratings from alot of buyers. The more comments left for a seller, the better. Also it is easy to buy things from Ebay because I have a Pay Pal account. This means that my credit card is attached to my Ebay account and when I purchase things my payment will come right off of my card with just a few simple clicks of the mouse.

I first learned about Columbia House because I bought CDs from Columbia Records. In a packet I received through the mail, a brochure for Columbia DvDs was available for me to look at. They had a deal for five DVDs for only forty-nine cents each. I took part in the deal without realizing that I would then have to buy three more DVDs within the next two years. At first I was a little upset because I thought I had been scammed. However, after looking over Columbia's website I realize that they have some really good deals on DVDs and that buying from them can save alot of money. Recent DVDs I bought include, Love Actually, Red Eye, Fear and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Alloy is a site where I buy clothing online. I have only bought a few things but I was happy with my purchases. Also there are usually good clearance deals offered. The site is very navigable and easy to follow. I can view all their products with just a few simple clicks.

I use Amazon to buy my books for school. When compared to the prices at the on campus book store, Amazon prices are typically about fifty percent less. After buying a book, the site will send emails to the buyer if similar books are available. I also make my payments to Amazon by using my Pay Pal account.

I bought a Dell computer in December 2005. I used the Dell website to purchase the computer online. Now I have to go there to buy ink for my printer. The ink I need is not sold in stores so I have no choice but to buy it online from this website. I don't really like that but I have no choice.
