Unhappy Is this expression correct gramatically?

Hello, there. I'd like to know if an expression in the following sentence is correct gramatically.

"Using intuitive menus, users can search, see, purchase items such as ringtons, games and videos with just a few clicks."

In the above sentence, is the expression "search, see, purchase" correct? If not, should I use the expression "search and see and purchase"?

You should use "search, see and purchase".

users can search, view, and purchase items

'view' is better than 'see' in this context.
