This is mainly for those who actually have credit cards.
I ws just wondering and curiosity got the better of me.

Are you addicted to online shopping?

I do. But mainly because the stuffs online are stuffs that I can't find in my country.

yeah i am, I like browsing online stores, and eBay XD
I rarely go to the mall, since the nice malls are 1.5 hours away.
With the todays gas price, buying online is cheaper

but i've a shopping budget though, I only buy things that I can afford.
when i see clothes I like, within my price range, and I'm sure that I will look SO GOOD in them, I rarely can stop myself from not buying them.
especially like now, there're many after x'mas sales.
after I shop, I tell myself, "ok, no more shopping for 2 weeks!"
a week hasn't passed yet, I buy something again .__.

I buy many things online: clothes, CDs, books, bath soap, shampoo, lotion, laundry detergent, household cleaning products, spices and dry foodstuffs for the pantry, wine, even fresh organic vegetables. I appreciate the ample selection and the convenience of being able to shop at 1am (which is often when I have time, but most brick-and-mortar stores are closed). Most online stores offer free delivery if you buy enough at once.

did not know the last thing, but isn't your local safeway open 24/7? i'd be in bad shape if my safeway wasn't open at 10pm

boredom at work spurs me to buy (or contemplate buying) occasional odds and ends from various websites... a scarf, a hello kitty hand mirror, a set of mr peanut salt and pepper shakers, and those darned circle lenses to which i'm becoming totally addicted (like srenity)... but for the most part, i use those websites as a way to see what's in stores so i can plan my IRL shopping trip accordingly.

wow...
i like buying things, but i prefer going to the store and buying it.
i need to hold it in my hands and look at it up close to make sure that i really do want it.
i write an important thing, and do not let's finish. a way of writing for freedom.

Love shopping online. Frequently go to eBay, yesasia, etsy, bluefly and mymusic. I used to shop Sephora online but a new Sephora just opened up down the street from me so I go there instead.

I know what you mean I have that problem too. Except I have about 4 credit cards >O<;; I am a frequent Ebayer. I can't stop because I'm so addicted. When I'm bored, it's the ifrst place I go to entertain myself. Ebay has such a variety of uniqe clothes and stuff that you can't find else where, so I find myself shopping on there at least everyday @_@;; I spend too much money on it and am trying to stop. I need to save up money for travels.

YES, I am! It's even worse cos you can find some awesome deals online using online coupons. Tokidoki, Tarina Tarantino, etc. It's hard for me to stay away from all those sparkling... beautiful... accessories and tops...

I quit my part-time late last year and I can say that with my credit cards and free time, I spend almost all my time that I'm on the net scouring for clothes and accessories to buy. I've spent soo much more these last few unemployed months than I ever did when I had a job.

I am definitely addicted to shopping online. Last year I spent a disgusting amount of money shopping, both online and in stores. I like shopping online for things I can't find in stores nearby and also eBay and Soompi too. I've cut down a lot though, I don't know by how much. Instead of buying expensive things now, I buy lots of little things (like makeup and jewelry at the moment).

I spend an insane amount of money on some of my store credit cards, so I accumulate a lot of points (with which to buy more stuff of course).

I kind of am addicted but I don't use my credit card. It's becomes too tempting to splurge having so much money available on that little piece of plastic.

I never understood how one can buy clothes online. I'm just the type that has to try it on in person before buying it. However, when it comes to electronics/computers, I'm an online shopping junkie. So many times, I think I've bought "gadgets" at the spur of the moment only to realize after receiving it that I have no real use for it (an expensive bad habit).

I usually don't buy things online b/c I am so scared of identity thefts..but then again, I have a hunch that someone already has my identity info but do not know how to use it...(I don't make sense, I know). I usually buy things after I see them in stores. If it's cheaper online, I would buy it. I usually buy stuff like CD's, DVD's, books, and jewerly.

Currently I am freaking poor so I don't shop online. o_o

I know how you feel.
I end up buying at least two items online every month.
