Online shopping allows consumersto shop in the convenience of their own home, and to save travelling time to retail stores and spend their time on other important tasks and hobbies. Researchers indicate convenience as the ‘primaryobjective’ of online shopping. This is relevant to 72% of online shoppers’ claim that they would rather surf online than go to retail stores to get information about a product. According to a study, 72% of online shoppers chose convenience over privacy. In addition to the ease of finding products online and time saved, consumers can shop without time limitations with 24 hour access as a beneficial characteristic of online shopping.

Online shopping benefitsboth the society as a whole and individuals. The society can save human resources when consumers help themselves by browsing freely online instead of asking for assistance from vendors. Consumers are also freed from the pressure to buy from thevendorsand can spend more time to make wise purchase decisions.

Consumers desire a variety of products because they look for the right product that will fully satisfy them. There is an infinite variety of products available online and the internet allows consumers to browse through products that are made all around the world without geographical boundaries.

With the online tools that enable product comparison, consumers can compare product prices and features to make a better decision with less effort.

One of the numerous disadvantages of online shopping is that many shoppers enjoy shopping with others and it is often a good way to make social connections. When shopping independently online, that enjoyment is lost.

Privacy is the number one reason that non-online shoppers do not shop online. Almost 95% of Web users have declined to provide personal information to Web sites at one time or another when asked.

Because one needs money to buy a computer and to have internet connection, online shopping seems to be limited to people with a reasonable amount of income.
