Advantages and disadvantages of online shopping and traditional shopping

Advantages of online shopping First of all, for consumers: First, you can "shop around" at home, and the order is not limited by time and place; Second, by obtaining a lot of commodity information, you can buy goods that are not available locally; Third, online payment is safer than traditional cash payment, which can avoid cash loss or robbery; Fourth, from ordering and purchasing goods to going to the door, there is no need to visit the site, saving time and effort; Fifth, because online goods save a series of expenses such as renting storefronts, transferring employees and warehousing, their prices are generally cheaper than similar goods in general shopping malls. Secondly, for merchants, because online sales have no inventory pressure, low operating costs and unlimited operating scale, more enterprises will choose online sales in the future, feed back market information in time through the Internet, adjust their business strategies in time, and improve their economic benefits and ability to participate in international competition. Third, for the whole market economy, this new shopping model can realize more efficient resource allocation in a wider scope and at a wider level. To sum up, it can be seen that online shopping has broken through the barriers of traditional commerce and has great attraction and influence on consumers, enterprises and markets. Undoubtedly, it is an ideal model to achieve "win-win" in the new economic era. Online shopping fraud prevention Generally speaking, online goods will be cheaper than those in physical stores 10% or 20%, but if a product is discounted or even cheaper at the bidding, especially large items like computers and digital cameras, don't believe it. At this time, you should see more sellers, compare more, and get its reasonable price, so as to avoid being cheated on impulse. Pay special attention to those low-priced goods with the sign of "Customs Confiscation". This is a good excuse to explain the low price, but most of them are scams. Suggestion: It is best to look at the seller's credit history before trading. The seller's credit history is accumulated through the evaluation of buyers who have done business with him before, which is generally more reliable. However, it is not excluded that some sellers "forge" credit records, so we should pay attention to the details of the seller's previous transaction records and transaction amount when checking, so as to avoid trading with sellers who have accumulated credit through many low-grade goods in a short time and then suddenly switched to selling high-grade goods. If someone sells socks for a while and now suddenly starts selling computers, you should be careful! The seller suggested a private transaction. Be careful. "If you negotiate the price with the seller and the other party asks you to leave your contact information, the two parties will go online for private transactions without online registration. You'd better not agree." He said that it was in this way that someone broke away from the "monitoring" of the website and then implemented his "fraud plan". Some people, in order to be greedy and cheap, think that by trading offline with the seller, the seller can save some of the expenses that should have been paid to the website, so they often like to trade offline privately, but as a result, you lose all the protection. Once the goods given to you by the other party have quality problems, you are likely to be at a loss. Suggestion: When trading, try to leave the actual transaction records on the Internet for easy recording. This is an important means to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. In Yi Bei, there is a special "safe trading fund". As long as it is recorded online, once the buyer suffers losses, it will give appropriate compensation. The seller is in a hurry to send money, so don't be busy. "After the business is over, if the seller is anxious to urge you to remit money on the phone and threatens that there are many people waiting for this product, once you miss the time, it is likely to be taken away by others. At this time, you must be careful. " He said that a liar has a psychological characteristic, that is, he is anxious and eager to get money at once. Generally speaking, if it is a city transaction, try to choose cash on delivery or face-to-face transaction; If it is a long-distance transaction that requires payment before delivery, it is best to choose post office remittance, because it is relatively safe to have a fixed address. Whether it is post office remittance or bank transfer, it is necessary to confirm that the payee's name and online real-name authentication are the same person. Suggestion: You can ask the other party to provide a fixed telephone number, which can be contacted and dialed at different times to confirm its validity. After the transaction is successful, ask for the sales voucher.
