I agree. Paypal has been the most convenient so far. Its extremely easy to use and convenient.
As for scammers, always make it a point to go for reputable sellers. If buying from ebay check the comment sections for complaints or their star rating.

For big purchases, PayPal is very expensive.. It takes a big chunk of your transaction.

It is absolutely right that Paypal charges higher when the transaction is higher. Instead of it one can use debit or net banking where there is no charge for any transaction. It also offer great rewards on good purchase.

Internet shopping are very addictive.. But also got to be careful whether the seller is in Singapore.. Must always read the About Me in the website to know more about the seller :):)

I will complain voxxus marketing in this post!
I cheated by a dishonest merchat: voxxus marketing.
addresee:10 Anson Road, #10-11 Intl Plaza, Singapore, Singapore 079903
It used these emails: ooakbabes@yahoo.com voxxus01@yahoo.com voxxus02@yahoo.com voxxus03@yahoo.com voxxus04@yahoo.com voxxus05@yahoo.com simple_buys@yahoo.com
It often sold goods at streetdeal.sg deal.sg bigdeal.sg juztoday.com shiokdeal.com
If you want to buy a goods from these websites or other websites, please avoid this merchant or these contact emails.
I bought a led turtle Dec last year from streetdeal.sg. But not workable after received it, I can provide video proof. I emailed to this dishonest merchant many times,all ignored.The merchant is very mean. And streetdeal.sg did not reply my any complaint email about the goods and merchant and my request for refund or exchange.
In the future, Please avoid voxxus marketing. Also avoid streetdeal.sg.

If I'm not wrong PayPal charges 50cents plus 3.4% regardless of the price of the items. Can see on the "Fees" section of PayPal Singapore. IMO, there's nothing cheaper than PayPal for merchants atm.

Problem with iBanking is that once you send out the money, its gone! No getting it back even if your purchase never arrives.

Feel deceived by the deal I bought from deal.com.sg

Bought a deal from deal.com.sg, merchant, Absolute Conceptz Pte Ltd, advertised the Spin and Go mop on deal.com.sg when received the mop yesterday, it was a China brand mop which I can easily buy from any hardware shop or supermarket. Felt totally deceived by the deal I bought. Will never purchase from deal.com.sg

Too cheap to be authentic, even during sale the price don't go so low. Better to buy at the shop.

Besides online shopping from sellers in Singapore, do you buy often from overseas like drugstore(dot)com, nordstrom(dot)com etc?

I buy stuff from online stores all the time and even from oversees suppliers. Online shopping scams have become quite common lately, so I agree that it is important to shop with caution. By virtue of being online merchant myself, I know a thing or two when it comes to finding reliable online stores. Before you buy anything online, check to see how long the store has been in operation. You can get this information from the website's About US page. This precaution however may not be enough. Make sure also to read testimonials from other independent sources. A good online store should have a solid online presence.
