In recent years,online shopping has become increasingly popular in China.The last decade witnessed
a dramatic increase in the number of people opting for online shopping.Some people claim that online
shopping can completely replace shopping in retail stores.Given the security and proved to be not
safe enough.Consumers who buy products online need to provide their private information,such as ID
number,personal and credit card details which can be stolen and used fraudulently by skillful
crackers and hackers.Furthermore,e-commerce using check and credit cards leaves the clients
vulnerable to banking fraud which remains the top security concerns for people when it comes to
online shopping.Secondly,the quality of the products bought online cannot be guaranteed.Some
functional products such as apparel and electronic devices cannot be tried or tested online.Unlike
traditional retail stores,online shops cannot provide you with the chance to check the product's
quality before buying them.Online shoppers are worried that the products will not be what they have
expected when viewing web pages.It is true that online shopping offers an attractive list of
benefits,with the most obvious being the convenience it brings to the shoppers.Nevertheless,due to
its security and product quality concerns,I personally hold that online shopping is far from being
a good choice for shoppers.
