Top 3 Online Shopping Websites of India

Online Shopping gives you the pleasure to shop products and services right from you home with the help of just a few clicks. Lots of stuff can be bought cheaper from an online retailer and comparing prices is as easy as a click of a button. Online shops may also have products that are either sold out or not available in local shops. Even though online shopping seems to be very convenient and easy to use, it has its disadvantages. Still there are lots of risk factors involved in online transactions through credit/debit cards, online banking etc. Your card details and account info can be misused if you are using an unsecured or malware effected PC for online transactions, technical fault in payment gateway or e-commerce site may lead to failed transaction and yet your card or bank account may be charged for the item.
