Ebay Buys Gmarket

SEOUL -- EBay Inc. cleared its acquisition of South Korean rival Gmarket Inc. with antitrust authorities by promising to help small- and mid-size companies sell products online, executives said Thursday as the deal was formally announced.

EBay will pay up to $1.2 billion for Gmarket, depending on how many Gmarket shareholders agree to sell their shares. The deal combines South Korea's two largest e-commerce web sites by subscribers and revenue.

Because of antitrust concerns, the firms took the unusual step of seeking approval from the Korea Fair Trade Commission shortly after they began talks last August. The agency approved the combination in September.

At the announcement, eBay's Asia chief Jay Lee said the company promised the government agency that it would take several measures to boost the access of small- and mid-sized firms to its websites, including those in 38 other countries. "South Korean small and medium-sized companies are competitive, but it's hard for them to export their products because of the language barrier or lack of other support," Mr. Lee said.

Mr. Lee said eBay would continue to run the two e-commerce sites, Gmarket and Internet Auction Co., separately.

The acquisition turned on an agreement eBay reached earlier this week with Gmarket's controlling shareholders, Interpark Corp. and its chairman Lee Ki-hyong, who accepted a per-share price of $24, about a 50% premium over the trading range of Gmarket shares last month.

In announcing the final terms, eBay said it would attempt to buy all 50.3 million shares of Gmarket, which is based in Seoul but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S. At the time of the announcement, executives said they'd secured deals to buy 67% of the outstanding shares, including the 34% controlled by Interpark and Mr. Lee and 10% owned by Yahoo Inc. of the U.S.

Shares in Gmarket closed at $19.95, up 3%, in Nasdaq trading on Wednesday.

If all the shares are tendered, the $1.2 billion deal would mark the eighth-largest acquisition of a Korean company by a foreign one, according to Thomson Reuters, just beating the $1.17 billion Lone Star Funds of Texas spent to acquire Korea Exchange Bank in 2003.

I am actually happy about this, I never bought something from Gmarket since it seems so confusing and not very user friendly.I hope this will change when Ebay takes the control.

have to wake up in 6hrs >__<

It's not the end yet: Missha Perfect Cover BB cream in 21

I don't know if it's an ebay obsession or BB cream obsession now. But all I know is that I got this Missha Perfect Cover BB in shade #21 for 3.50$. Maybe it's because the seller is new. I hope I won't get scammed. >__> Oh the Skinfood arrived a few days ago and I started to use it, I like it so far *i think*.Reviews later!~

Because you can't afford the real ones...

You might not know, but there was a phase where I was really really obsessed about bags. So I would buy 1 like every other month and FaFa (a Montreal Bag boutique) was my favorite store whenever I would go to downtown. XD

I don't have any designer bags and I don't think I'll be able to afford one soon either. So for now I'm contented with those 'fake' bags. Zipia has quite some nice quilted small bags with gold hardware.









I'm starting to like small bags now where you can hang them on your shoulder. They're just cute and perfect for shopping because you have 2 hands free. I hate go shopping with a bag and heavy bag, my shoulder just hurts after an hour.

2 finals to go...*weekofhell*

Guerlain Warehouse Sale

I've never heard of Guerlain, but according to Wikipedia it's "among the oldest perfume houses in the world". I went to their website and the prices are crazy.

Song Hye Kyo for Nylon May 09

Matthew Williamson for H&M launch

So Matthew Williamson`s collection was launched today (yesterday actually) and I passed by H&M in downtown today to see how it looks like and if there are many ppl but to my surprise I only found a small rack with cardigans,t-shirts, cropped jeans jacket and dresses. Were all the other items gone or they never were there to begin with. Moreover, noone seems to be really interested in it from what I was observing, maybe it's because it was 6pm or Montrealers simply don't care for Matthew Williamson?Like other crazy shoppers.


I am not very fond of it I must say, maybe because it's too colorful?I wouldn't buy it just because it's designer clothing honestly.Okay, maybe if I was millionair .

Skinfood Mushroom BB cream

So I ordered my first BB cream on ebay eeek and it was by first ebay purchase since I had an account since 2000 aha.It's all Soompi's fault.Soompi's beauty & fashion thread ruins you, yep.


for 12.50$ + free shipping yay.

I don't use any foundation since I break out if my pores are clogged. The first time I noticed that is when I went for my internship interview T____T. My skin became itchy and I broke out blabala. Now I only use Everyday Mineral and it looks like I have no makeup on maybe because I don't know how to apply it properly. We'll see if my skin likes BB cream. I just want to try it out and now I can't stop browsing ebay, help!

So for those who don't know what BB cream is here is a defintion I found:

B.B Cream , also known as Blemish Balm, started off as a soothing treatment balm dermatologists + surgeons used on patients who underwent laser skin treatment. It helps to shield\protect and regenerate delicate skin. Korean actresses and stars soon started using this cream and it sparked off a huge craze in Korea due to its excellent results.

Beauty brands in Korea have since developed BB cream and made it more suitable for Asian skin.

By far, many brands have come out with their own BB cream of various different functions.

BB cream is a foundation that soothes and regenerates the skin, meanwhile acting as a good foundation with excellent coverage. It can cover dark rings, acne marks and uneven skin tone naturally, giving your skin a natural glow. It also has good oil control power without conprimising your skin's moisture level.

BRTC is the best brand of BB cream (or so it seems from what I've read) followed by Dr. Jart. Other brands that sells bb cream: Missha, Skin Food, Etude, etc.

The shirt

I took advantage of the 20% + bogo on tops + free shipping and ordered this last week along with my brother's shirts and it came today yay. No more shopping until may, but I have to exchange the footless leggings that I got from Sirens last week. Do they let you exchange if it's a promotion I wonder. I took size M and it's too tight on the calves and everywhere. I feel fat now = \ or they just make it for tiny tiny girls with super skinny legs.




I didn't see the package yet but my mom told me that it came and I'm still on my bed NOW XD. Library day whooo, it's sunny outside.

Zara is following me even in my studies

/*Rant*/

I'm reading my Marketing Book and there's a story about Zara and immediately makes this book interesting to read for once aha. I wish each book had stories of my favourite clothing stores as examples so I would be the first one to volunteer studying all day long.

Facts about Zara from the book:

"Zara can make a new line from start to finish in fewer than fifteen days, so a look seen on MTV can be in Zara stores within a month, versus an industry average of nine months."

"The company's stylish but affordable offerings have attracted a cult following, and the company's sales have more than double to $4 billion in the last five years."

Urban Outfitter's version of AA's melange skirt

I Love Urban Outfitters but the prices of most pieces is out of my range. Last thursday after my last class for this semester, I met up with a friend to go window shopping and we walked from Concordia towards Mc Gill and stopped by UO. And there I saw so many cute skirts and many other things that I want to have *__* but most of them are minimum 50$ for a simple skirt *sigh*. When it's on sale there's nothing good left at UO I find.

I didn't have a camera to capture pics but here is what I found on the UO site:


Does this skirt looks familar to you? Price 38$US

AA's version:35$CAN


Which one do you like better?

It looks really easy to DIY. @__@

Oh yea, I went to the Guess warehouse sale and got a bench hoodie and jacket (the one I'm wearing). I didn't try on the hoodie there and at home I couldn't fit into my big head aha.The collar part is too small and I have to rip it x__x. It's such a pain to get out of it too.

Now just for the fun of it ...

I am sure the designers took ideas from korean and asian fashion in general XD.

Studded Vests and Harem Pants

I need them in my life >___<. Even if i know that I won't be able to pull off the pants after trying them on in Zara.

I find that the front looks okay, but the back hilarious on these pants at least. It looks like you're wearing some big diaper.

30$ is too much for a vest?
