Today I will explain something that many (almost all of us on this since long time ago) maybe a breeze, but many people have yet in the list of "things that do not know where to get his hands" and that many ask me. This is online shopping abroad.
Is it reliable? What stores should I buy? How do I pay? Does it come out profitable?
I myself did not dare to buy online until the scene started in this craft, which is really difficult (or impossible) to find the materials you need, let alone buy books in other languages (Like Japanese). Now I do it as normal as going to buy bread, always having some reservations and cautions. Because yes, it is true, we must be very careful when buying as internet enjoys both anonymity and a certain impunity when defrauding people and "to run away" or simply washing hands ... and rarely solve issues to the satisfaction of cheated.

First of all, you should buy in trusted sites, try not to buy private websites and others that can not offer a guarantee (a good way to find out if it is reliable is to look for forums or blogs that speak of the site) and look what pages you need Contact for referrals.
Never trust the "bargains" (especially if they are private pages that do not have much confidence) if it is too expensive ... ask yourself why.
My Top shops (general, remember that then there are sections within them ... and other stores! In other post I have specific stores and where ebay or etsy get materials):
Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/ ebay always use the American, /. com /. If you use the /. Is / will do searches in Spain (there's a party down at all in the displayed search international stores, but stores are consolidated vendors and will not offer much less what you want) Generally, you'll find more shops and spaces dedicated to what you want (cookie cutters, scrapbook, whatever) in the /. com /, it is as if you bought from an online store. In ebay.es is more geared to sell second hand. Yes, you need a little knowledge of English if you do not, do not worry, for it was invented Translator Google Pages.
Etsy: Etsy http://www.etsy.com/ is intended as a place to buy and sell things handmade, pins, bags, clothing, accessories ... what you want! It is also a good place to buy precisely the materials that make your own creations and in many cases would not find out here (for example, printed fabric handmade zakka). Personally I buy some on etsy, because prices are higher than on ebay (usually). Before you buy anything, make sure you've searched it everywhere and have compared prices. It's amazing the range of benefits that can have some vendors! 
Wonderful Hands: http://www.manosmaravillosas.com/ This page, while expensive in some cases, you have everything you need to carry out millions of techniques: painting, felting, Felt, scrapbook, FIMO, ... (Up bobbin!). It's like a great shop dedicated to all those things we like (what we all want to have under the house, go) you can quickly find what you need (and by the way, several things you need like XD) for the manual contains in mind. They are fast and very nice in the treatment and have a great advantage ... No need to speak the language of Shakespeare to understand you with them. 
Amazon and YesAsia: http://www.amazon.com/ and http://www.yesasia.com/global/en/home.html Son two good sources to purchase books zakka and felt, amigurumi, etc. They are 100% reliable, but a little slow in sending packages (arm yourself with patience), especially if you ask many books as you usually wait to have all in stock before sending your package, so the delay of a single book can be waiting for (easily) a month and a half. The advantage is that you have a great variety and are renewed every so often with new books. Virtually all my collection of japanese books from here. In YesAsia also can find things from Japan at reasonable prices. How do I pay? Is it reliable?
This is something we are also problematic. We need a reliable payment method, fast ... and our data do not provide many. I always, ALWAYS, I recommend Paypal. For everything. Simply register with your email, you can now make payments, both personal (one user to another) and through almost any page, and most have an option "Pay with Paypal." Avoid wire transfers, preferably used the "pay-back" if Paypal is not accepted, at least ensures that when you get your package, will pay, not before.
Well, that it, hope you find it useful and if you have any questions ... You know!
