Online Shopping

I quite like online shopping. Especially when it comes to buying books and make-up. I mean, why would I spend over $100 for a new textbook when I can get it for half the price online? Sure I have to wait for a few days for it to be shipped over but that's a savings of $50! And when you're on a student budget like me (I pay for my own school supplies and tuition - hubby pays for putting a roof over my head), I'd take any bargain I can get. I've had a lot of confidence in online shopping too. In fact, hubby started selling things online and we found that he could make quite a bit. As a seller hubby will also try to make a transaction as smooth as possible. We've had one or two 'bad' customers. One said his items never arrived and hubby couldn't prove that he had sent them out (now we use delivery confirmation service). Another was a very picky customer who was unhappy that her white jacket wasn't as white as she thought it would be. Oh well.... that's part of running a business right? Picky customers I can take. But fraudulant ones? I bought a book online and should have trusted my gut instincts when I saw that the seller didn't have any feedback on his profile. Two weeks went and the book never came. I ended up having to buy the book at the university bookstore coz we needed the book for class. Multiple emails were sent and were never replied to. At the end of the two weeks I saw that the seller had started getting negative feedbacks and a lot of people had not received the books the bought from this seller. Ugh, I got such a horrible feeling at the pit of my stomach. I had already paid off my credit card bill thus the money had already gone to the company that hosts the website. I couldn't even file a claim with the company 60 days until the transaction had been completed. Bl00dy hell. I was SO not happy with that. Sigh.. it's been 2 weeks since I filed my claim and it still hastn' been processed. I want my money ok! geram rite now.... so geram
