I buy more online than otherwise.
I have had hundreds of troublefree ebay transactions, buy from various chandlers, even bought standing rigging on line. Getting a sail repaired where entire transaction so far has been on-line, and will close same way.
But there are traps. Most are avoided by using commonsense. Is that any different to dealing face to face? Are they all troublefree?
On shoes: my deck shoes - Ebay
My best shoes: online
My wellies: online
Most shoes in my cupboard - online
My current seaboots: bought in person at a chandler - failed in 3or 4 years!
