I was trying to create products to complement the pop-up blocker. All these people were giving me their credit cards. I figured I could sell them something else.
The Internet is the easiest thing to get into. To be an Internet retailer, you just get that URL.
The first time you went to eBay, you probably didn't do a transaction.
We realized we had high-volume marketplace as a platform. Anyone can come in and buy with a subscription.
I'm an online shopper, so that's what I do in my free time. A lot of online shopping, and I just like to see new styles and new people.
If Twitter genuinely wants users to buy things at scale, they have to give us a chance to consider the offers and make a decision in a matter of minutes/hours/days, not just seconds.
Groceries became a revelation: the people coming out with bundles of food. It's all like a great ceremony, and the whole drudgery of shopping has become my inspiration.
But I will just make the slight point here - I have never ever bought anything online. I don't know how to.
Sir, this lane is for ten items or less. I’m counting thirteen items in your cart, including that hemorrhoid cream. And while hemorrhoids might give you a reason to be nasty, they don’t give you a reason to be in this lane.
I am the worst at the grocery store. It turns into three carts. It turns into, 'Oh did you see the truffle cheese? We've got to get the truffle cheese!'
I doubt I'll ever retire, but if I do, I see myself as the little old Parisian lady pushing her trolley from the supermarket to her apartment. Everyone needs a pipe dream.
I love shopping, especially food shopping.
One of the things it was obvious you could do with an online store is have a much more complete selection.
I love going to my supermarket. Sounds so rock 'n' roll, eh?
Why do I always choose the shopping cart with the squeaky wheel? Is it my bad luck, or are all the carts dysfunctional?
Amazon is a marvelous conglomeration and delivery system for products of every imaginable function. But the book 'business' is really not the same as the sale of lawn rakes or adapters for telephones.
CDs are not as good as vinyl, and you buy one in the supermarket along with the yoghurt.
I love that thing on Amazon that you can go on and order a book, and you click on it and it says, 'You might also like,' or 'Other people who bought this have bought that.'
I don't shop online, but my wife buys everything at home. We buy sea crabs, fresh crabs, all kinds of things.
I do most of my shopping online. It's just convenient for me.
I am not great at computers. If I were to try shopping through Google, I'd end up with 33 vests.
We set up a beta site, a test site, with movie, music and book reviews. If you're reading them and you want to buy a book or a ticket for a movie that's reviewed on the site, you can do that without leaving our site.
I try to shop online. All my food, Christmas gifts, everything.
I don't know anybody that buys more shoes on eBay than me. I like eBay because I can always find rare gems in my size. I always have upwards of 40 sneakers in my cart at any given time.
Every time I go to the market, Andy says, 'Don't forget the Triscuits!'
