  • Shopping on eBay Malaysia

    11.20.2013

    finally my parcel from Hong Kong is here!

    I love carrying backpacks or school bags around as my "hand bags". I find that safer than carrying a handbag or giving that image that I look like I have got money on me. Well ever since I got injured in a snatch thief incident at Publika my perception of being out in the open has changed the way I dressed. I would prefer to have bags that I could shoulder and run with or bags that would not be easily targeted by these unscrupulous people.


    the bag that I was looking for yay


    it's buckle bag type but underneath is magnet
    (buckle is for show, so it's convenient yet maintaing the look I want)

    I've been looking for this type of bag for some time
    (now I found it on eBay Malaysia)

    I also would prefer to dressed in jeans or tops with flats or shoes. This makes escaping easier too. Unless I am being accompanied by my fiance or a close friend driving to a location, I would dressed more at eased.

    bought this powerbank few months ago from eBay sales

    With my loyal backpack (aged 3 years old) the zip was giving way and it was also degrading. I hop on to eBay at www.ebay.com to see if I could find a replacement. I wouldn't mind shopping online, credit card safety issues has since improved from 5 years ago. Few months ago I bought a 30,000 mAh power bank from eBay (this is where I got it from http://bit.ly/19mbaD7and only needed to sit back and relax while my order is processed and shipped to me. It only took 5 days and it comes with a 3 months warranty.

    While shopping online such as sites like eBay has improved with payment gateway and facilities that is not only convenient, but also safe thanks to eBay's Standard Purchase Protection Programme. I find eBay has also improved in making my shopping experience a better one. It's now fun to shop on eBay compared to 5 years ago where deals were boring to look at and hard to find. Now there's a new system that allows searches to match local and international products as well as matching your shopping interest.

    I bought wrong item lol)


    I use PayPal for online shopping


    yeah now to check my email for my receipt

    My product didn't come in 5 days as per how I received my power bank from eBay. It came after 45days because I bought my bag from an international seller from Hong Kong and the shipping was free! (Economy Shipping Postage). I paid using PayPal because they have the buyer's protection from eBay http://pages.ebay.com.my/help/tp/esppp-process.html.

    like my bag? leave a comment!

    Everything I needed to know about buying the product, estimated delivery time, how much I would pay (eBay system automatically converts the currency according to where you are!) is available at every deal page. What I love most is, there's a return policy stated as well should the product has any issues.

    14. I really like this concept but it doesn't seem to be on Auction web sites.ie yet? When you go to Auction web sites.com it performs but only if everything is in US money which is a bit annoying! I wish they carry it to Auction web sites.ie cos like I said its an amazing idea! Especially being able to see other individuals choose who have identical style/likes that you do! Shopping eBay

      It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same outdated rehashed material.
