Though I didn't do all of my recent holiday shopping on-line, I still made several on-line purchases for family and friends. Apparently, I'm not the only one. Studies estimate that nearly 150 million Americans made some form of online purchase in 2012, an increase of nearly 10% over the prior year. My reasons for online shopping are probably similar to those of the other 149 million-plus shoppers: convenience, price comparisons, cost savings, and no sales tax (at least in my case).
