Currently at school, we are doing a project on eCommerce. On this project, we have to do a survey...and more than one too. So this is my question to the community on osu!

"Where do you buy things online?"

Now that I look back on that, it doesn't seem like a grammatically correct sentence. Regardless, answers for this question would be like... eBay, Amazon, iTunes etc. But there's probably more sites that are like this...

...like JList. Or something. I dunno.

5 years is enough for anyone? Don't you think?

I do computer parts shopping on Umart Online: http://www.umart.com.au/

Otherwise eBay for all else.

Technically Steam too but I've only ever used it to gift (as all games I own on Steam have been gifted to me)

Always lurking.

I myself use eBay relatively frequently. Also, Steam.

I've purchased a few things from iTunes, but I must say the most purchases of mine have been made on http://www.playasia.com

ebay, steam, amazon, newegg

Haven't bought off ebay in a long time though

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

Play-Asia for decent prices.
Ebay for older stuff.
Amazon UK for books.
Steam because FFFFFFF sales.
Occasionally buy clothing from RetroGT.

Play Asia sometimes but typically Amazon has the best prices for what I'm getting when you factor in shipping speed/fee.

Amazon, Newegg, Steam, Woot, and TigerDirect are where I shop, usually.
If there's something cool on deals.woot, I may buy somewhere else, but that's not too often.

Also, asking a community of relatively tech-savvy gamers where they shop online is selection bias if I've ever seen it.

Amazon and Steam primarily. Amazon's return policy is amazing from my experience so I keep using it for general purchases.

It's either that or you ask your year level who don't shop online. At all.

Either that or it'll just be Steam or PSN. Hurr.

I use Mudah.my, Malaysia's local eBay-style site for some of the gadgets that I've bought in the past.
I did use eBay once to buy an electronic component that my team needed for our third-year project in bulk from a supplier in the U.S. , since it's not available here. Got quite a deal too, but that was basically it.

I've only ever used Amazon and eBay, but only on hard-to-get items that I'm very desperate for, since shipping cost to my place is normally huge.

Well, I handed in the work today so the poll is officially useless, but feel free to keep talking about this!

I buy a lot of things on Newegg (IE: all the parts for two computers, mice, tablet, anything hardware related) and my video games on steam.

Whatever place slickdeals recommends xD.

Tend to be Amazon since there is no tax, but then again, amazon is not that cheap usually.

I ticked iTunes as one of the services; mainly because the App Store is owned by Apple iTunes. Yes, I buy apps from the app store instead of jailbreaking any iOS device because I respect the developers behind the apps and would like to donate to their epicness even though 85% of the purchase goes towards Steve Jobs' pants. Also, the preceding sentence was false. I just buy a lot of stuff from there since I was gifted >$50 in iTunes Credit.

Music-wise, LOL no.

I buy stuff from Nexon America! :D Yes, I'm a sucker.

My bro does Amazon quite a bit. My parents also order things like peanut butter, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. from an online site.
