I like shopping online. I have a little girl and can't do shopping without being rushed. Also, pretty much always I use coupon/cashback when I shop online so it's cheaper.

I hate to go shopping, so it's always the Internet for me.  I love eBay.  I'm tall and have narrow feet, so I will usually use an online store not on eBay that allows returns.

I love the convinence of sitting at home and buying but then again I need to try on to be sure it's the right fit.

Sometimes I go to the store to see if they have what I want or try things on and sometimes there are better deals online so I shop the store then purchase online. I usually find that stores don't carry the sizes and styles that they may online so it may depend on whatever you're looking for, on way or the other may be better

I am still not all that trusting the internet, especially giving my CC over the Internet. I do sometimes but, not all that often. I make sure they are a reputable online store also. I would personally rather see the material I am buying than trusting a picture.

Really it depends on what I'm shopping for. Sometimes I will scan the website of the local stores before I go shopping. I don't have a lot of good places to shop around here, so there are a few places I'd rather buy from online than have to drive a long way. The shipping is usually cheaper than gas!

I prefer to shop online but would rather buy in person except for small electronics and software which I really like buying online.  Ebay is one of my favorrite spots and has been for years.   I like to shop where I can use Paypal or Alertpay rather than a credit card.
Yeah, I like online for the same reason.  I LOVE using pay pal to buy supplements and some other things.

For clothes, best to shop in person, especially if needing to try on stuff.  But tee shirts can be bought online.

I like shopping online, no crowds, no rush, no noise.  I also like shopping online for things we don't usually have around here.  I also don't have a car so it makes getting to the store a bit challenging.

       I go to the store first: What you see is what you get! Less hassle in returns, too. If the store does not have my size or color but I know the style then I go online. I do that with JCPenney and other stores.
