Task 2: Online Shopping

W: Hey, Don, online shopping is so popular nowadays. Where is a good place to buy electronics 1 online?

M: Hmmm. I usually go to Amazon.com. Sometimes I use eBay.

W: Really, I’ve never used either of those. What are they all about?

M: Well, eBay is an auction 2 site. People put their stuff up for sale, and then other people log in and if they’re interested in one item, they bid on it. If you want to bid, you put in the amount that is the most you’re willing to pay. Then, by a certain deadline, the highest bid gets the item.

W: Interesting. Then, if your bid is the highest, how do you pay?

M: Well, you can usually send a check or money order. Or, you can use a system called PayPal which lets you pay by credit card online.

W: Hoe 3 do you get your stuff?

M: Well, after the auction, eBay puts you directly in touch with the seller, and then you arrange for them to send it to you. You can check it out at ...............

W: I sure will. And how about that Amazon place you said?

M: Amazon.com is like an actual store, just online. They sell just about everything, either new or used items. I find the prices are usually a good deal cheaper than in a store.

W: That’s what I’ve heard. I think that buying some things online, like books, or DVDs, is a really good idea, but I could never buy clothes online.

M: I know what you mean. Things that you need to see, touch and feel first, before you buy, are hard to buy online. But then again, there’re lots of people who buy everything online!

W: Do you think it’s safe? I mean, I’ve heard that people can steal your credit card number over the Internet.

M: Well, I think that is does happen, but it’s very rare. All in all, it’s pretty safe.

W: And what if you want to return something?

M: I think that’s probably easier if you bought it in a real store. But, these online stores and sellers often have very good return policies. You just need to package it all back up again.

W: A pain in the neck if you ask me!
