And while experts expect shoppers to spend $1.5 billion and push online shopping up 12 percent over last year, not all retailer are involved.

Find out why they made that choice and why other retailers are doing the same, in this story, by my colleague Arielle Kass.
What do you think of retailers who choose not to participate in Cyber Monday? Are they crazy to miss out on big bucks?
