Just Musing: Asian Shopping Sites

Curiosity! That’s the reason why I’m posting this. I’m a mad online shopper and one of the sites I can’t live without is eBay. But if you’ve been lurking and buying from eBay from sometime, you’ll soon realize that a big number of sellers there are from Asia, most notably China. These sellers are just everywhere and they are doing good business judging by the transactions they have. They sell everything from apparel, electronics, craft supplies even e-cigarettes! I think I won’t be exaggerating if I say, name it and they have it

So I’ve been thinking perhaps goodies from over here in Asia are priced more competitively and I was also wondering if there are really legitimate Asian shopping sites where its safe to shop online and at wholesale prices.

I’m particularly looking for Asian clothes since some of my nieces are really so into that funky Asian street wear, some like those Japanese gothic/Lolita style and as for me, I have developed a liking for those really feminine Korean tops and dresses. And a lot of bags and shoes are also nice.

It’s surprising really that upon searching online, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of Aisan shopping sites! But which ones are legit and quite frankly I’m scared to purchase without learning about others experiences but also I’m excited at the prospect of shopping Asian! Sites like lightinthebox.com, dhgate.com, zipia.net, yesstyle.com etc are just some of the places online I’ve just recently discovered and I’m keen to try them out.

Will be listing sites I discover soon and would be posting reviews also of each site I’ve tried to purchase from..
