Talk about major online shopping malls

Online shopping malls are a big deal these days. Almost anything under the sun can be bought or sold on the internet. There are large-scale online shopping malls, and products are sold there by category. Buyers compare prices for an item before making a purchase. Sellers introduce the items in great detail, and provide the lowest prices to encourage sales. When a shopper selects a product and decide to buy it, the next step is to enter the delivery address. During the delivery process, users can track an item. This way, they can predict the time of delivery. Online shopping malls advertise extensively and offer user perks like points and additional discounts to attract more users. Most shopping is done on smart phones these days, so all shopping malls also keep up mobile websites.
