Ajay I personally have bought around 2 or 3 plugins and prefer to tend towards the free plugins via the WordPress repository. That being said, if I need to purchase a plugin, I’d do it directly from the original creator. e.g. my plan is to set up a site running Easy Digital Downloads and I’ll most likely need to purchase a few extensions which might make a hole in my pocket with the hope I make this back! But, being a developer, it is important for me to support other developers, which till date has been via donations. Support is important, considering the amount of time as a developer you would need to spend as the plugin / theme gets popular. And, I believe if a user is really serious or really eager to solve a particular problem, they should be willing to pay for it. GPL code might be free, but if you’re capable of running everything out of the box, then great. If you need help, then you might consider paying for it!
