[redliner]

Do you shop online ? Have you ever been ripped off ?

Yeah often. Never actually been ripped off which is good.

I never shop online...well, I look all the time, but I haven't bought anything.

I buy almost all my model horses online. I've only been ripped off once. Sent payment but never received the horse. :mad

I do 90% of my shopping online these days, I haven't been ripped off as such, I've had items not arrive but I've always been given a refund. I guess the closest I came to being ripped off was... I bought a TV Boxset online and was stupid enough to not check it when it arrived, just put it on the shelf because I had lots of other things I wanted to watch first. When I got round to opening it, 2 discs were missing, but by then I'd had it like 3 or 4 months and was too late to complain.

I shop online all the time. Sometimes food shopping but especially for events.


Ebay can be tricky. I shop around a lot. I'm planning a Halloween party and was looking for a rubber toad. The best price for the one I wanted was £7, but one site had it down as £12.99. That's taking the piss, and is why I will often create lists in several places to compare totals.


It's also a good idea to google for vouchers and discount codes for the company.

Yep my fiance and I buy things online all the time. Mainly books or video games. Haven't been ripped off yet though. Unless you count the store sending you the wrong book, then yea I have in that way. LOL

I shop online a good bit. Never really been ripped off that I can think of.

I shop online all the time, and I've never been ripped off as far as I can recall. I generally only shop from reputable retailers, or use eBay and/or PayPal... both of which pretty much protect me from being ripped off anyway.

I shop online all the time, and I can't think of one time I've been ripped off. I've had some shipping SNAFU's and wrong items sent, but never ripped off.

I do a good deal of business on Amazon, and they are top notch.
