hmmm for what i know We all want easy life. I do too and somewhat lastyear i have done purchasing online for the first time. I was excited because it will be the first shipment that will be send to me with my name on it. The same time I was afraid too because there are so many scams out of internet but I take the risk and it was fun! It took almost a month to came but its worth waiting. Experience is the best thing we had. How about you? How was your first online purchase? Was it successful? Was it fun?

My first online purchase was actually many yrs. ago, and probably off Ebay or something like that. I had many great experiences from it, and some bad. Lately all my experiences are from a company that is my own online Business and I always am receiving the items on time as I pay for them, usually in just a couple of days. For me online shopping when you know and can trust the company is the Best.

That is so good to hear that you are buying online and yet you dont even have a failed transaction or buying. It motivated of now to trust online sellers and made me a good buyer too :)

this is interesting.. Well as I could remember my first online purchase was about 4 years ago when I got my first credit card and boy it was not easy. with out any one to teach me and being too shy to ask anyone online it took me about 3 weeks to figure out the registration stuff and how to use paypal. it was a very exciting and also a fearful experience that I would never forget. My first purchase was a second hand manga (Japanese comics) of my favorite anime that I found on ebay and I had doubts back then that I might not get it and just be wasting my money but thankfully it was delivered. All in all it was a fun experience

yeah. Purchasing things online is a very lot of fun and experience. The experience by receiving a package or shipment from other person mostly from other countries and even it is only cheap mostly $0.50-$5.00 was the things i do purchase i an somewhat proud that i have some things that i have purchased from other countries.

Hello gelomon, my first online purchase was great. I bought couple of hard to find books from an online seller on eBay. At first I was nervous as well because I was afraid of the scammers. Luckily, the sellers were legit and I was able to buy what I wanted.

yeah I also bought at that site and what I can say is that there are so many legit sellers there and almost all of them can satisfy all your needs. I also feel that. When I was informed that a parcel was recieved by our post office my smile cant be erased because of excitement and luckily im really satisfied. :)

It's been so long since my first online purchase that I don't even remember it, more than likely I ordered some clothes because that's what I usually order online. But it is always exciting to wait for things that you ordered online to come to your front door.

My first online buying/selling experience was through eBay. I was so amazed when I first discovered this online auction site. I like the idea of buying/selling without having to be face-to-face with the seller/buyer. Although I had my doubts at first, once I discovered that it's quite a safe site, I use the site a lot. I have had many transactions with eBay both as a seller and as a buyer, and I enjoy them more as I gain more experiences using the site.

Actually, my first online purchase came yesterday. I took a week to reach me, but in the end it did. I was very satisfied with the services. I have to admit I had my doubts about the schedule, the quality of the product, the quality of the shipment service, but it all worked out perfectly.

Hmm..my first online purchase was last year. I ordered a hoodie from this art site and I was really ecstatic when I made my order even though I know that I'll have to wait more or less one month. I was really happy because I actually didn't spend any money in my purchase because I've just collected enough 'points' from the site to purchase the item and pay the shipping fee as well. I guess the excitement had faded because I've forgotten about it but when I received the notice from the Post Office about a parcel addressed to me, I regained the feeling and I immediately went there to receive the item. It was really cool, considering that it was my first time and it's from a site that I really favor, the hoodie is a collector's item after all so I was really happy. But I was kinda nervous when I first made the order too because I'm from a different country and the size preferences are different than mine, I'm kinda afraid that the hoodie won't fit me. But I'm lucky that I've made the right choice in size and everything was successful!
