It's pretty common. I once bought a fan online and had ads for that same fan follow me around for weeks. I believe they're called "retargeting" ads.

  Retargeting is generally done after you have shown interest in a product, but haven't converted yet. "Conversions" are always excluded if possible. It makes no sense to retarget a recent buyer.

    I agree it doesn't make any sense, and I would prefer to live in a world where ads were served as you described.

    They may not know you converted, especially if the ads are internet and the purchase was in-person.
