No wonder, it’s unpopular in HK. Bare in mind they have no ideas that bank offers various insurance services to protect customers but still customer would like to prevent by ignoring purchasing online. But again, those 8.8% people who shop online, shop at EBay the most popular bid website. Although the hectic lifestyle, it wouldn’t hinder the Hong Kong people’s spirit to go out on a congested weekend to shop. But in the US, people like to sit comfort at home and enjoy internet shopping. No fuss of parking, queuing up at the cashier, more options and stress free!
