There is still a whole lot of fuel usage when you shop on the Internet. The resources to make the item you bought were likely shipped to China from 3rd world countries, and then the final product was shipped all the way from China to your country of residence.
Perhaps you were only speaking of your own fuel usage, but saying you do not use any is still inaccurate. The fuel may not come out of your tank but it certainly used by the planes, trains, big rigs and delivery trucks that bring things to your door, and you still pay for it as shipping costs.
