While having numerous benefits for consumers, e-commerce can also lead to several demerits such as threat to privacy. However, I believe that advantages of online shopping outweigh its disadvantages. On the one hand, there are some reasons behind the uncertainty about online shopping, one of which is loss of privacy. Nowadays, more and more consumers are being victims of cybercrime when using the online stores to purchase their needs as the internet has provided hackers and cyberthieves with a shelter to commit crime and stay anonymous. Furthermore, consumers also hesitate about the quality of the product they receive from various dotcoms. Because, in most situations the delivered good is not the same as displayed on the website and usually it is pointless to return the product or demand commission. On the other hand, consumers can benefit from online shopping thanks to unlimited opportunities it can provide. Firstly, customers can access online shops easily, with just the coexistence of proper gadget and mobile network. Moreover, these shops usually have a wider range of goods which allows everyone to find the product that matches with their requirements best. Personally, I use eBay and OLX for the huge diversity of products and services they offer. Last but not the least, online commerce is more preferable than traditional markets as consumers don’t have to spend additional time and effort to get what they need. All thing considered, I believe that online shopping has far more advantages ranging from the convenience and accessibility to reduced costs and energy which will undoubtedly overweigh its drawbacks.
