Anyone know of some good Korean websites that are available in English as well, such as Ebay, Kijiji, other used items for sale websites, clothing store websites, bookstores (whatthebook.com), electronics websites....

Basically any korean website that sells things, that is also available in English.

Thanks!!

I like gmarket.

Skate shoes? Where do you live?

If you're in the Seoul area then just go to Itaewon. Tussa Skateboard shop carries Lakai, Circa, Fallen, and Dvs all for between 50-100. They usually carry some models in size 11.

However, just before Tussa on the left side of the street is a small shoe shop. They carry factory backdoor Es', Emerica, Ipath, DVS etc. They have everything in size 11, 12 etc. and only charge 35,000 per pair.

peace.

I agree. Gmarket is great, if you know how to navigate through it.

They now have an "English" version of Gmarket. Sadly, when you search for anything you always end up with zero results. I think it's in a pre-beta stage...just for show and nothing else.

and anyways...it's not hard at all to find size 11 shoes in Korea. Size 290 (11) is becoming much more common as there are a lot of tall younger men.

You can find most models of vans at abc mart in 11. On gmarket you can get adio, vans, and dc in size 11 for cheap and, like I said before, you can go to Itaewon.

When I first used gmarket I hated it. All that flash annoyed the hell out of me and I browsed for about 30 seconds before I wanted to puke. Now? I never have to go to the hellholes that Dongdaemun and myeongdong are again!
