    The very first thing I bought online was a virtual product.

    In fact, I set up my Paypal account specifically to buy this product. It's a domain name. Since then I have bought many more domain names. Besides domain names, I also buy other virtual products like web hosting. The latest hosting product I bought is an Alpha Reselling Plan with a lifetime recurring 75% discount. It came bundled with a billing software which, if bought alone, would have costed me about 15usd per month. As it is, I am only paying 14.99usd per month for the whole package.

    Isn't that a good deal?

    I forgot about domains! Then the first thing I bought online was that. I got one in NameCheap for $10 (lasted a year). It worked just as good as the GoDaddy one I was given for free.

    The first thing I ever bought online was a video game via Play-Asia. It was a quick transaction, had no problems with it and I got my game in 2 weeks time. It was a pleasant experience.

    I usually buy things online nowadays.

    The first thing I ever bought online were Steam games. They were part of a Humble Bundle deal that I should be posting on this forum later where you can name your price for a bundle of Indie games both on Steam and for regular downloading and installation onto your computer. Took a bit of convincing with my parents since they claimed it too good to be true, but I got through eventually and only paid 13 cents for 6 (plus 5 bonus games) critically acclaimed indie games!

    It was also really funny to get the bill at the end of the month and see something that was charged on the card for only 13 cents.

    If you are in the market for domains, keep an eye on Namecheap. They have a fantastic offer in the works. Something with a 3000usd prize.

    The first thing I bought online was a video game from eBay. I won the auction and I was so happy, but I had a little bit of trouble at the checkout screen. I never paid for anything online before, but the transaction went smoothly. Who would have thought that one purchase would pave the way to thousands more. :D

    The first thing we bought online was a college textbook at half.com. That was several years ago. We now do quite a bit of our shopping online,

    The first thing I bought online was a pair of discounted shoes on my 15th birthday. I was scammed and my parents had to go through the bank to get our money back. I learned a valuable lesson and I haven't been scammed ever since.

    I genuinely can't keep in mind what the first thing I ever purchased on the internet was. But if I had to think, it was probably school books from Amazon or something along that range. The school books were a lot less expensive on the internet than at the institution book store and then I have been on the internet purchasing consistently.

    First thing I ever purchased off the internet was a giant box of make up off of ebay. There was a lot of over 5000 pieces of make up, and I won the bid for $5. Everything in the box was brand new, even opened. It was just colors the companies discontinued.

    First thing I ever bought online was a book off Amazon. I often buy things off eBay, and I sell on there as well. I don't buy off of Amazon much anymore, because eBay is better priced and has better shipping. However, there are some things you can buy off Amazon that you can't get off eBay, so you just have to know the best place to shop at the time. My experience with online shopping is relatively positive all around.

    The first item I bought was a skin for my PS Vita. I found a very cheap one on Ebay, and it was brand new. I placed my order, and waited for it to ship. The downside to online shopping is that you have to wait a few days to a few weeks for it to ship, especially with Ebay. Once I got the item, I was thrilled with the experience. It is very fun because some items are only sold online, and you can get them for some pretty good prices. I would suggest anyone to shop online!

    The first thing I bought online was a laser printer from Staples. At the time my car was not working and I dreaded the idea of buying a printer and dragging it on the bus. The printer arrived with no problems. I love buying big items online and having them delivered. As far as I'm concerned, shopping online is the next best thing to sliced bread.

    The first thing I ever bought online was a Ty Beanie Baby dragon from eBay. It was for my daughter who was collecting them at the time and you could not get this dragon in any local stores. I was very nervous about the whole process back then. Now it seems silly that I was so paranoid about it.
