B: Well, that’s the charm of online shopping. You can always find the items you like with the lowest prices! A: Fantastic! I’ll also go check it out now. Maybe there’ll be a lot of surprises waiting for me! Bye for now. Thanks a lot for the information! B: You’re welcome. Wish you good luck.

Sample Conversation (2) A: Hello, Alex. Why do you look so troubled? B: Well, I am considering buying a jacket on Yahoo auction, but I am not sure if the quality is good. A: Doesn’t the seller provide a photo of the item and its specifics on the web? B: Yes, and it all looks appealing to me. But I am still not sure whether I can trust it completely. A: Well, you can also check out the other buyers’ feedback comments and the seller’s reputation to see if the seller is reliable or not. B: You’re right! I totally forgot that! Thanks for the advice. A: You’re welcome.
