I shop far too often using the internet - It's good and bad at times.

The ranges of clothes available online are great, but the availability is awful when I'm stressy during exam-time. I'm prone to over-spending in order to make myself feel better. :S

I've never bought anything online, I just don't trust it. I do reseach things online sometimes before I go to buy something in a store, but that's it.

Envy, when you buy clothes online, how can you tell that they'll fit? I can never go by the sizes marked, as they seem to differ from one clothing line to the next. I always have to try on a couple of different ones in the store just to see which will fit.

I shop a bit over the net, but I only buy stuff I really want and know I can't get here at a shop. I don't have problems regarding sizes because mostly the size charts on the sites are accurate and if I'm not sure I e-mail them and ask for advice.
The only problem is that I get taxed by our customs office for everything that costs more then 300 HRK, so I really think twice before ordering something.

I know I am an online shop o holic. I had my mother's credit card for a month and an ebay account. At the end of the month I had 24 packages coming through. I got everything for under $200. I love ebay.
One I can get a job, since I have no bills to pay, I'm going to be getting another card and I'll be attacking more online stores.

If it's a certain make, I know my sizes already, e.g. for shoes, I know that a UK 5 will fit me in TUK shoes. It's good to write down your individual store sizes somewhere as well - I've noticed that my size varies in different stores.

If it's for something I haven't come across, I'll usually go by the stated size, e.g. 'standard UK size 8', if in doubt, I'll just email in to ask for the measurements laid flat in inches (usually the bust and waist measurements), and if I know the material isn't the stretchy type, I'll ask about that too, just to make sure it'll fit me. Most auctions for clothes will state if they're a tighter fit than standard sizes.
