Online shopping

see thats another plus point of boddunan...you get to learn so much about various useful things...good thread guys..it will help many more.

Yes saketh you have given valuable informaton and vidhi cleared our doubts.

Ok sarala if we want to buy a mobile it is better to buy it on online.

sasikanth definitely you can buy mobile online there is no issue in it in-fact you can buy other items too online, see if you are buying online then you will be getting two type of benefit one is discount and another you will be getting latest mobiles in India.

Everything has its own merits and demerits.
Main advantage of online shopping is it saves our time. But the danger that hide behind it is, the user may be cheated. Through the display shown on webpages, user may order one product. But what he gets may be not what he want. Sometimes, it won't even have replacement policies. Sometimes user may get damaged products.

Also, there are many fake sites, displays their products. We can't even guarantee that we will get the product. But our money will be gone.

But most dangerous of all is, some programs which may ask not only our account number but also our password, for buying products. Here user will be 100% cheated.

NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORDS TO ANY SITES.

I heard an incident from one of my friends 1 month before. It was about his friend.

While he was surfing, he saw a page ordering some books. At first, he feel interested and fill the form. He gave his account number. But then he felt in mind, I don't want these books that costs Rs.500. So, clicked cancel button, instead of OK. But he was shocked to see a message was displayed saying, 'Debited Rs.500 from your a/c'. ie. The trap was that even if the user quits, the transaction should be done.
2 weeks later, he got a parcel containing 2 books which didn't even worth Rs.100.
He was cheated 2 times in 2 ways.

So you should never give your a/c details to an unknown site.

Sandhya,here,the mistake was of that person,which has ordered those books. You have to make sure ,that the site or any portal rom which we are dealing,should be genuine. Otherwise,you shouldn't deal.

Precaution is must.

Ya, it is surely his mistake.

But how a CANCEL button can act as OK. Isn't it cheating?

There are lot many genuine sites available for online shopping. That sites will lock our payment up to our feedback for their products after delivering. By this way we can easily hope we can get quality products.( if we give negative feedback then the payment will not reach the seller).

Sandhya,I think that First,he has selected O.K button to confirm,but quickly after that he may had selected Cancel button. May be this the reason of acting Cancel button as O.K button.

Yes ronark, you are correct this is the only possibilities of Cancel button act as O.K. Button.

That's not true, there are many reputable and completely safe websites that are Indian. I have been buying stuff from Indiatimes shopping for quite some time, although they are very slow to deliver, they are 100% reliable and will return your money in case of any problems. Other sites like flipkart, indiaplaza too are very good and honest and secure sites.

Not really bad. I shopped no of times online , but only with branded company websites

yes there are lot many sites who actually deliver goods that you order...but then the quality of the goods is not that good.......so it is better that we don't go for it.....India has not yet developed in terms of window shopping.
