Have any of you guys bought more expensive items from sellers on gmarket? im in the market for a computer and not sure whether to grab something from gmarket or pop down to yongsan and get them to make something up.

im a big wary of gmarket as some of the sellers seem a bit shady. and for a more expensive item, it worries me a little.

am i worrying for no reason?

I think most Gmarket outlets have a return policy of at least a week. If you need repairs, though, it is good to know someone at Yongsan. For more specific info, you may want to post on the tech forum.

You should be alright. Just check the sellers ratings/review. Though, I think if you can get to Yongsan, you probably should.

If you buy on the net you have to check and make sure everything is to spec. Also I have heard they sometimes use second hand parts with them. But if you buy from a store with a good rep. Then you are probably fine.

I buy most of my household goods and other things on gmarket and the only sellers I've had any trouble with have been sellers of cheap running shoes.

As for me, I prefer to buy electronic items in person because I like to test them out myself to see all their features and make sure they work.

If you know exactly what you want, of course, go ahead and buy - but do check out sellers' ratings and return policies as others have suggested and as you would for any other online shopping site.

I myself have not ordered expensive items on gmarket but I have ordered a bit of furniture and even those items have always arrived in impeccable condition.

Good luck!

I've purchased several "high-ticket" items off of Gmarket and haven't run into any problems yet. Said items include a 40" LCD TV, a desktop computer, and several LCD monitors. I'd say these are some of the more fragile 'bigger items from Gmarket' so shop your worries away!
