				| Me too. 
 this month I got these without leaving the house:
 
 Roman style blinds
 dvd-r
 cd-r
 dvd cases
 Tivx media player
 cables: component,coaxial,
 
 
 
 It's not an auction site so the prices are fixed. But the same item will usually be listed by more than one seller so prices vary and/or you can have some free stuff thrown in. I pay using phone banking and things usually arrive in 1-2 days.

				| I use Gmarket all the time, love it. I bought almost all of the furniture for my apartment on there. It was really easy last year when you could pay through Paypal, but they stopped that for some reason, so I had to fax through credit card details so I could use that instead.

				| I like the fact that you can get three months interest free on local credit cards if you spend over 50k. |  |

				| Yep.  I have bought.. 
 
 clothes
 accessories
 electric kettle
 electric mat
 blankets
 pillows
 usb
 mp3 players
 scarves
 
 I am totally in love with it except the flashy advertisements and the fact that it causes my hd to make grinding sounds when loading.  Other than that, it's super.

				| Just bought some stuff for the first time last week. Transfered money at the ATM. Bought a 30,000 DVD player, 2 *beep* lamps
  , tall floor lamp and alarm clocks. Great site.
 I love the online shopping you can do here. Helps when you're out in the middle of nowhere like me.
 HelloCostco and EZshop are also my friends.

				| ^I was going to ask about paying. What's the standard procedure? You mentioned paying using an ATM, did the seller email you their details and then you simply transferred the funds across and then they ship the goods out once the funds have cleared? 
 Anyone been ripped off/stung using Gmarket? Anything I should look out for? Is it easy to register etc? Does it incorporate a feedback system?
 
 Any other info would be appreciated.
 
 Cheers.
