Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Web Shopping Made Simple   Amanda Hoffer | Life Section Manager Shopping on the web can be tricky for some. You don't get to see the actual item. You don't know who you can trust. You have no clue if anyone can get your credit card information. Well, I'm here to clarify all of this for you and make you less antsy about doing some e-shopping.

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Old Reliable: Amazon.com   Shaun Corley | Staff Writer Since we're doing "e-tailers" week here at Whim and covering such things as lingerie, video game and DVD purchasing online, we thought it would be highly appropriate to take a look at the one e-tailer that inspired them all: Amazon.com. Whim's resident English major (and major bibliophile) Shaun Corley gives a brief overview of this retailing phenomenon.

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston E-commerce Review: Gamestop.com and Half.com   Greg Woodruff | Staff Writer Looking for your favorite video game online? Maybe you're looking for something else. Well, try Gamestop.com and Half.com. Without these two sites, what would be the point of shopping online?

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Lingerie Online   Amanda Hoffer | Life Section Manager Lingerie is an awesome thing. The right lingerie can make you feel sexy, drive your guy wild, and, if you're delusional enough, can allow you to take over the world. But where do you get the lingerie for you? There are several lingerie sites out there, each designed for different styles and types of people. Allow us to help you find the site best suited for your needs.

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Another Look at Buying Books Online   Shaun Corley | Staff Writer Well, we've already covered buying new books online with Amazon.com, so it's only fair we take a look at buying used books, too. Whim's resident English major (and self-professed bibliophile) Shaun Corley takes a gander at several used-book sites. This article also serves as a follow-up to a similiar review Shaun wrote three years ago. See how much has changed in the world of used-bookstores online since then.

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Site Review: DVDEmpire.com   Shaun Corley | Staff Writer There are plenty of places to purchase DVDs online and no doubt a few of them are being covered here in Whim during E-tailers week. So let me direct your attention to a particular E-tailer that is curiously overlooked by many: DVD Empire.com. I'm at a loss as to why they are overlooked, because they have many great features. Click here to read about why you should be shopping at this site.
