Recently while researching a vacation package I was considering booking, I noticed that while all of the customer reviews about the destinations, tour guides and mechanics of the trip were glowing, there were a few people who gave poor ratings for reasons that didn't seem like the travel company's fault: Their flight was cancelled so they missed a day; they got food poisoning so couldn't enjoy a tour; or they hadn't purchased travel insurance so they couldn't get a refund when they could no longer embark on the trip.

Online retail giant Amazon’s decision to block Australian shoppers from its US website has prompted an outpouring of anger from its customers. However, economic statistics indicate the actual value of online purchased products entering Australia from international marketplaces is relatively low. While some shoppers will be disappointed by Amazon’s decision, others will simply find ways around the geoblock.

Today, Amazon threw Australia's revised Online Goods Tax into the "too hard basket", opting to block access to its US website so it would not have to collect GST. This left many wondering if eBay would follow suit. We just heard back from the globespanning e-commerce giant and we have good news - Aussies will still be able to buy items from overseas sellers. Hurrah!

Not so long ago, being able to click a button and have the goods of your choice delivered to your front door in a day (or less) would have seemed like some kind of black magic - but as convenient as online shopping is, it does come with its own set of frustrations and problems. Here's how to fix the most common ones.

eBay has confirmed it will not be renewing its contract with the online payments system PayPal. The online marketplace will stop using PayPal as its back-end services provider which means it will soon be more difficult to buy products on eBay with your PayPal account. Here's what you need to know.

Dear Lifehacker, I have a few friends' birthdays coming up so figured I'd give Amazon Australia a try. I was particularly intrigued by the free delivery offer for orders over $49 - this means I can order multiple presents in one go and not get slugged with any shipping fees. Or so I thought.

The only caveat is making sure your deliveries arrive on time. Here are those all-important dates for JB Hi-Fi, Amazon Australia, Big W, Kmart and more.
