So yeah, I only go out of the house like once or twice a week. But despite that monk-ish tendency, I have already spent quite a bundle online shopping anyway. 😐 Just on eBay alone, I have already spent this much:
And that’s just for the past two weeks, mind you. My purchases include clothes, skin care and BB cream samples and other various knick-knacks, the latest of which is a pair of JBL / Roxy reference 250 earphones (with free shipping to boot!) from a Hongkong seller:
I actually just bought this item last night. And truth is I am nervous as hell if it would arrive here in good condition or if it would arrive here at all. 😐 I got no problems with the seller, s/he seemed legit and I made sure first that the shop delivers to the Philippines first before committing to buy the earphones. But. This will be sent through postage and I have some nagging doubts about our postage system. 😛
So why did I buy from a foreign seller instead of just looking for decent cans here? There is actually a posting for these same earphones from a Philippine seller, but they cost more than twice the selling price (plus shipping pa!) from where I got it. Geez. And I dunno if it’s just me, but all SM (at least the ones here) carries are either Philips earphones (which I am not really fond of) or generic Chinese junk (got one of these P99 money-wasters out of desperation and regretted it the second I heard the crappy sound they deliver). So once again, eBay is the answer to my prayers. 😉
Now, the waiting game has begun. So nervous. Will update as soon as these cans get here. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I ordered my olympus replacemement batteries from a hongkong seller too. Free shipping. =) It arrived naman after a month. I got a letter from the central post office tapos pina-claim sakin yung package. Nagbayad ako ng 40php, hehe!
Bakit nga kaya me bayad pa sa post office? Nun dumating yung Ambassador gift ko from Eyeko, nagbayad din ako ng P40 eh. 😐 At kelan pa kaya dating nitong earphones ko? In fairness, okay naman yung seller, nag-send pa ng notification sa kin kagabi na napa-ship na nya plus yung tracking number. 😀
haven’t tried shopping at ebay. the only online shopping that i’ve tried yung mga multiply seller.
I’ve shopped at Multiply shops too, but somehow I’m more comfortable shopping at eBay. 😉
