| Do you shop online more often or in the stores? I've been doing much more shopping online and just took a Safe Shopping Quiz from McAfee. Apparently I'm an "E-Commerce Expert" and avoid risky sites online. I'm working with stophcommerce.com and it's amazing how much of a target for cybercrimes online shoppers become. Is anyone familiar with the campaign or taken the safe shopping quiz? |

| I have been doing most of my skincare shopping online, as I have become addicted to certain lines, i.e. Isomers. I also now order my retin A form Alldaychemists - on line. Once in a while I do purchase something from the drugstore. I haven't heard of the quiz you mentioned. |

There are definitely some products that are easily found online and not in the stores. I still tend to get most of my skincare products in the stores though. But clothing is a different story, haha. Here is the link to the quiz I mentioned: Shopping Quiz
It has some good points about watching what sites we order from. I need to pay more attention to that! |

Not sure if you know this.....people can hack into your paypal account and steal your credit card information. |

I definitely shop online more than in stores. To me, there are just so many good aspects to shopping online. I don't have the pressure of sales people around me (I'm the type who can get really stressed out by that - or I feel like if they help me, then I HAVE to buy it or I feel bad), I can take as much time as I need to think about buying something, and you have a much more wide array of products to choose from online. And you can also find better prices online for some things if you search them out.
I like to shop online for beauty products and clothes. Now, I do go shopping in stores sometimes too. I would only buy clothes online if I was familiar with the sizing, etc. The only downside to shopping online is having to pay shipping. I try to take advantage of free shipping when the opportunity presents itself. |

This site was mentioned on the local news. Just thought I'd share it if anyone may find it helpful. I haven't gotten very far as the list is huge!

| I have not actually done much shopping for ages, other than for other people, but when I do it's probably about 90% online. You just have to make sure that you pick reputable sites and that you're careful about securing your computer and paypal account. As a side-effect, you get on a first name basis with all the parcel delivery people |
