for authenticating your card payment. Please retry since it is a temporary problem.

Cher's solution!

Ms Cher finally done it! Congratulations! She managed to place an order from Gmarket.. lets see what she said in the shoutbox or chatbox

4 Dec 10, 10:42 PM

Cher: Hi Jen, yay me! Finally I paid successfully! I chose another country instead of Vietnam, so I could make payment LOL. Then I went to Shopping List and changed delivery address. That's it!

Cher: I chose Thailand since both of those two countries's shipping fees are the same

Cher is from Vietnam and she's having problems with her Gmarket payment using paypal. Credit card also not accepted... and bear in mind that Vietnam is under the list of countries where Gmarket ships to. So its really weird. Well, hope those from Vietnam that are having issues with Gmarket payment can get some ideas from Cher's contribution.

Looking forward to her good news after she receive her gmarket loots! :P

================================================

P/S

Cher has received her package! So yea for those from Vietnam and having issues with yr payment, you may like to consider Cher's "strategy" At yr OWN RISK ok... hehehe...

Post Christmas Haul

Crabtree & Evelyn

I bought them because of the boxes!!! One of them is a wedding gift. Anyone wants to get the body lotion , body cream from me? I will sell to u at a low price. 40% or so off listed price? Any Takers?

Shu Uemura

Made in CHINA!!!

Its a special promotion so the GWP is for $250 purchase. Quite value for $$$ because the normal promotion is $180 for the pouch & 3 pc GWP. Also, i have a $25 Voucher from these purchase and another 10% store value rebate.

The SA didnt even give me this paper bag! I must ASK for it!!!

Gmarket Haul I

EMS BOX!

The box is normal size EMS box i suppose. Much smaller than my normal purchases. I choose EMS over the new provider because i like their packaging. Even if the items are too much, they will bubble wrap the items by sellers and put into the EMS box. So i dont mind paying slightly more for the bubble wraps or box.

However, pls note that EMS seem to be delivered by Singpost.

There's a Singpost sticker on the box.

I Love these diaries!!!!

Nice isnt it? The small book with the ger is the free gift. The diary is abt $17SGD after conversion. I like the quality of these korean diaries. Furthermore, they came with good packaging, good quality paper and even come with stickers etc. Not forgetting that they are CUTE!

From my Fav fav seller!!!

This is my favourite seller and everytime i bought wallets or bags from them. This time round i Bought a Prada "inspired" calf leather wallet. I like it that the design is unique, using leather and yet at only SGD$80 or so. I am sick of Renoma, Braun Buffel? kind of wallets. I dont want to buy LV wallet because i dont fancy them.. find it too thick & dont like monogram color combination.

In case people thought i am sour grape, err no? I have LV bags like Stresa and some others but i havent even carry the stresa that i have bought for a yr now........

hard to believe its been sitting in my cupboard for a year now. i think i should really take it out and use it.

Ok back to this wallet, i really find that its a value for $$$ purchase. Love it! The wallet looks much nicer in real life. I am unable to capture the matte yet reflective? kinda contradicting *sigh* i dont know how to describe the leather hehehe but hack! Just remember the wine color makes the wallet look unique and outstanding. NICE!!!

There's also a leather card pouch. For putting credit card. The price is not expensive. Ard $15? and its ReAl leather not faux leather okay!!! So Soft! Love it too. hehehee

Anyway i bought so many things from this seller, i am kinda assured about the quality. Just more concern abt the colors and how the design or leather will look like in real life.

LV similar logo Handphone Strap

This is expensive. $10++ and i saw one small crystal drop off........ i tried to hook to my LV stresa but it doesnt really look nice on LV. Not sure where should i put this since iphone case cannot hook anything to it.

All the above pictures are just part of my purchases... some accessories and a bag is not shown..... this time round i skipped cosmetics. Been buying too much from USA and also local stores.

Although the items are not much, I also spend like $180 on these stuffs. The bag and wallet is genuine leather and both already more than $120. *faint*

Woohoo my Gmarket items arrived!

Wowwwwwww just as i am wondering will i get to receive my items on Thurs (wed is public holidays), a young postman has delivered this!!!

and thats when the tracking is shown as 4am+ arrived at Destination Airport... and no more further update!!!

Will be loading the pics soon........... when I am free

Gmarket Lesson : Applying Discount Coupon/s

Ok... because of the Gmarket event I managed to win some discount coupon. Lets go through this simple tutorial ..... its quite easy and everything is in english so there's no need to freak out or avoid using it.

Applying Discount Coupon..

Ok basically, the top portion is something you will see if you click 'Shopping Cart'. Since this is overseas purchase, i am clicking Overseas tab.

You have 2 options to apply discount code.

One application is during the time where you select and input the items into yr cart.

Another is this short cut ...(see above picture) ..

Click on Coupon Box it works great especially when you have selected the items you want and u can just adjust the discount code. After clicking of Coupon Box, the lower portion screen appears....

Now refer to the lower portion, you see grey box 'Applying'. It means this has been applied (See the words). You cannot use it unless you remove this coupon from the item that used it.

So you can only apply if

(1) criteria is met like amount of the items you want to buy is at leaest the amount stated

(2) The circle box or radio box is enabled (common sense hahhaa!!!)

(3) No words 'Applying' is shown which means the coupon is available. I have noticed that I can apply some coupons together. Its under SUPER category.

I bought the bag at 60000Won++ and after applying 2 coupons, i have deduction of 10,000Won. WOW WOW. I LOVE Discount! ....

Gmarket Event 14 Oct - 13 Nov 2010

Yoohoooo so long never update this blog.

So why am I updating now? Ohhh because I want to win the blogger contest. heheheh cheapo me. I normally purchase everything alone by myself. Dont combine orders with anyone and yet my purchase is 'smelly smelly' or at least $150SGD. :(

So i need some 'rebates' from Gmarket. Its been few mths since I last patron Gmarket merchants.. i have noticed that there's some changes to the Gmarket.

However, the changes are great. Ok now..... i hope u have attend the Gmarket event from 14 Oct - 13 Nov 2010. ...

See the 2 Download buttons? U click on it everyday to enter in this draw to win some discount coupons... well, today i pressed both of them and its 'Sorry, you didnt win' or something like that. When I click it again, the above msg was shown 'You've already done. Apply tomorrow please'. So there you go, tomorrow after 0000 then can click the 2 buttons!!!

Ok so this is shown when I click on the following day..... *drum drum*

Weee Weeeee :) I won a 10% discount coupon for purchase of more than 15,000Won but the expiry date is 15 Nov
