Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. What you will find in a dictionary is the infinitive form, ending in -ar, -er, -ir.
compraba = either 1st or 3rd person singular of the Imperfect; either I used to buy, I was buying or he/she/it/you-formal-singular was/were buying OR used to buy. The terciery tran slation is the same as the preterit = bought.
compro = I buy, I DO buy, I AM buyING
se comió = he/she/it/you (Ud.) did eat or ate up
quiere comerse = he/she/it/you (Ud.) want, do want, is/are wanting to eat up
Be sure to put accent marks when they are supposed to be there = está com prando = he/she/it/you (Ud.) is/are buying (otherwise "esta" is translated "this")

Compraba- it bought
compro- i buy
Se comio- was eaten
Quiere comerse- wants to eat
esta comprando- is buying
