E-shopping, a form of electronic commerce that allows people to directly buy goods or services online from a seller using a web browser or an APP on smartphones, has created a brand-new modern lifestyle. The practice isn't just about consumption pure and simple, but also helps to foster relationships with other Internet users. It's like a window on a huge world where people are happy to express their innermost feelings.
