Depend on what you want to shop. Different places for shopping different things.

What is your purpose of shopping in Shanghai and what are you looking for?

Since I don’t know what exactly you are interested in, I would recommend the following locations in general.

1.        南京路
a.        南京東路步行街 (the section close to 外灘_ is just for tourist and I have never shopped there. However, you will reach 人民廣場 at the other end of the 步行街 and there is 來福士廣場 which you can take a look.)
b.        南京西路 have some malls worth to take a look such as 梅隆鎮廣場, 恆隆廣場 and 中信泰富. These are ones of the most well known luxury malls in Shanghai.
2.        徐家匯 (a well known business/shopping district)
3.        城隍廟 (one of the most well known historic places which tourists will definitely go to).  
4.        淮海路 (there are many shops/malls the local people will go to)
5.        長樂路 (there are many small interesting boutiques)

I would recommend the following places for night scenery.
1.        外灘 (lighting turns off at 10:00 p.m.)
2.        南京東路步行街 (shops and lighting turns off at 10:00 p.m.)
3.        新天地 (Shanghai’s 蘭桂芳)

Rule of thum - "Never pay more than 50% of asking price". 30-40% is about right. Sometimes 20% is possible.

These tactics only work at small shops and at places like Beijing's 秀水街. When you are shopping at big shopping malls, you can't really bargain.

Yes, it only works in small shops or 細攤位 on street.
