Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?

Not that much, but sometimes I face this kind of situation. For example last month I was trying to purchase an Airports, but the problem is like the similar features were present in both models. So I took so long to give a long research before buying that.

Not really and sometimes the cheaper products can give good performance. For example I was using my Airpods Pro, it's very costly, it's around like $285 when I bought the item but it got damaged after my usage of the four year but.

× Yes, I really like the shopping.
✓ Yes, I really like shopping.
The definite article 'the' is incorrectly used before the uncountable noun 'shopping'. In English, we do not use 'the' before uncountable nouns when speaking generally. Removing 'the' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× In my free time, I usually browse the Amazon mobile application in order to see the Prime deals going on the specific dates so I can get or do the shopping in a discount song.
✓ In my free time, I usually browse the Amazon mobile application to see the Prime deals going on specific dates so I can get shopping at a discount sale.
The preposition 'on' before 'the specific dates' is incorrect; it should be 'on specific dates' without 'the' because the dates are not previously specified. Also, 'in a discount song' is incorrect; it should be 'at a discount sale' to correctly express shopping during a sale event.
× And in today's world, umm, we have the accessibility and availability to various kind of shopping platforms.
✓ And in today's world, umm, we have accessibility and availability of various kinds of shopping platforms.
The phrase 'accessibility and availability to' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'of'. Also, 'various kind' should be pluralized to 'various kinds' to agree with the plural noun 'platforms'.
× So when I do online shopping, yeah, it's kind of a common tendency to check the other shopping platform and whoever, uh.
✓ So when I do online shopping, yeah, it's kind of a common tendency to check other shopping platforms and whoever, uh.
The phrase 'the other shopping platform' is incorrect because 'other' implies plural here; it should be 'other shopping platforms' to match the plural sense. Also, 'the' is unnecessary before 'other' in this context.
× For example last month I was trying to purchase an Airports, but the problem is like the similar features were present in both models.
✓ For example, last month I was trying to purchase AirPods, but the problem was that similar features were present in both models.
The word 'Airports' is incorrect; the correct product name is 'AirPods' which is plural. Also, 'the similar features' should be 'similar features' without 'the' because it refers to features in general. Additionally, 'is like' is informal and should be replaced with 'was that' for clarity.
× So I took so long to give a long research before buying that.
✓ So I took a long time to do thorough research before buying it.
The phrase 'give a long research' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'do thorough research'. Also, 'that' should be replaced with 'it' to refer to the item being purchased. 'Took so long' is better expressed as 'took a long time'.
× For example I was using my Airpods Pro, it's very costly, it's around like $285 when I bought the item but it got damaged after my usage of the four year but.
✓ For example, I was using my AirPods Pro; it's very costly, around $285 when I bought it, but it got damaged after four years of use.
The pronoun 'it' is used inconsistently; 'the item' should be replaced with 'it' for clarity and conciseness. 'My usage of the four year' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'after four years of use'. Also, 'Airpods' should be capitalized as 'AirPods'.
