Early 2005, my friend introduced me on auction
online. In the website, we can browse all the items that they going to sell
based on the highest bid within a time period. If let say the item I a branded
watch, they will open for auction for about 5 hours for example. Whoever
interested to bid the watch may key in their price. The highest bidder will get
the watch.

My first experience: I won a bid on an auction
at SellTrade_KL. I bought bags and watch. It was simple, bid and the
highest bid got the things. Everyone was so excited to sell and buy. There were
many Auctions going on in SellTrade_KL at the opening few posts. It was a bidding
frenzy. But so exciting, we finally get to do online shopping. This is my first
experience ever. I was so excited when my first parcel arrived.

I think at that time, men were preferred to
buy at shopping mall or shops rather than buy via online. Since, online
shopping is still new in Malaysia ,
people feel unsecured and reluctant to buy via online. Instead of shopping at
SellTrade_KL, another website provides such service is e-bay. I was actually
excited that I found a few online shops and was so eager to try online
shopping, since I saw how famous it was overseas.
Now and you
see a boom in online shopping sites growing. Everyone sells online now. A new
avenue of business for people. More and more people are going online, more and
more people are trusting the “online shopping experience”. It is so nice seeing
how the online shopping industry in Malaysia grow in front of my eyes
and I was here to document every moment of it.
Ok so the
point of this post is for you and I to share our first ever experience of online
shopping.
WHEN
DID YOU FIRST START TO SHOP ONLINE AND WHERE AND WHAT DID YOU BUY? SPILL!!!
Was it
ebay? Was it selltrade like myself? Did you start online shopping when these
blog shops started?
