How much is your time, aggrevation, and gas worth when you drive to the mall, and then store to store to do your shopping? Online you can do it all in a few minutes and never leave your chair.
Plus you dont pay sales tax!
I too do a lot of shopping online, a majority of that is done on eBay.
I agree. The traffic going to the malls and stores is horrible. Also the lines at the registers are out of this world. I just recently started shopping for clothes on line which I was leery of because of fitting but I found I could send them back if they didn't fit and I don't have to pay too much for postage. I now keep different mailing envelopes and boxes for items that I might have to return via the post office.
You've probably got about 1-2 years at most to enjoy that....the disparity between Brick & Mortar and on-line sales this Christmas is going to drive the collection of sales tax on mail order even faster than the B & Ms want....and they're on it big time.
