I love online shopping!
There are many advantages to shopping online (including shopping in your sweats - or even your pajamas!). No crowds, no waiting in line, no wear & tear on your vehicle or worrying about bad weather, and you save gas (not to mention getting your goodies delivered right to your door). For some people it's not only about the convenience; online shopping could be their only way of getting needed items, for whatever reason.

But, just like everything else in life, we have the bad along with the good. I started this blog in the hopes that if it helps at least one person, it was time well spent.

Below you'll find some tips to help make your online shopping experience a safer one; although I'll mainly address buying at online auctions, some of the tips will apply to shopping in general - both online and off. This is by no means an all-encompassing list of things to watch out for, just remember to do your research before laying out your hard-earned cash! All righty then...

You found just what you've been hunting for and it's up for bids on an online auction site - now what?
