Access All of Gmarket Korea Without a Local Account or Card
Shop Korea's widest open marketplace — Gmarket has it all, and Order in Korea brings it straight to you without the checkout headaches.
Gmarket (지마켓) is one of South Korea's most established open marketplaces, home to an enormous range of products spanning electronics, fashion, beauty, sports equipment, home furnishings, and daily consumables. With countless sellers competing on price, Gmarket is a go-to destination for Koreans hunting deals across virtually every product category.
For foreign visitors or international shoppers, Gmarket's checkout process presents a frustrating wall: local ID verification, Korean-only payment methods, and domestic-only delivery requirements. Order in Korea steps in as your local buyer, purchasing any Gmarket listing on your behalf and delivering it to wherever you are staying in South Korea — paid securely through PayPal.
Why ordering from Gmarket is hard for foreigners
Korean ID & account verification
Gmarket requires identity verification tied to a Korean citizen registration number or foreign registration card to complete purchases. Most international visitors cannot pass this step, blocking access to the entire marketplace.
Korean-only payment methods
Gmarket checkout relies on domestically-issued credit cards, mobile payments, and local bank transfers. International cards from overseas banks are frequently rejected, and there is no global payment option like PayPal available at checkout.
No international shipping from most sellers
The majority of Gmarket sellers list products for domestic Korea delivery only. Even when you manage to check out, shipping to an overseas address is either unavailable or prohibitively complicated to arrange with individual sellers.
How Order in Korea solves it
Verified Korean account — no ID needed from you
Order in Korea holds a fully verified local account on Gmarket, meaning we can purchase any listed product without requiring you to provide Korean ID or register an account yourself.
Pay with PayPal — we pay in Won locally
You pay us via PayPal in your currency with Buyer Protection included. We cover the Gmarket purchase in Korean Won using our domestic payment method — bridging the gap between your wallet and the Korean marketplace.
Any address in Korea, fully handled
Whether your delivery goes to a Seoul guesthouse, a Busan hotel, or a short-stay apartment in Jeju, we coordinate the delivery and deal with the seller or courier in Korean so nothing gets lost in translation.

Gmarket — frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner buy from Gmarket without a Korean ID?
Not directly — Gmarket's checkout system requires Korean identity verification that most foreign visitors cannot complete. That is exactly why Order in Korea exists. We purchase on your behalf using our verified Korean account, so you never need to provide Korean ID or register for Gmarket yourself.
How much does Order in Korea charge to buy from Gmarket?
Our fee is 10% of the item price in Korean Won, with a minimum service fee of $5 and a minimum total order value of $20. You see the full cost breakdown before you pay anything, so there are no hidden charges.
How do I pay if I do not have a Korean credit card?
You pay via PayPal — the same account you likely already use for international shopping, complete with Buyer Protection. We handle the Korean Won payment to Gmarket on our end. No local bank account or Korean card is needed from you.
Can Gmarket items be delivered to my hotel or short-term rental in Korea?
Yes. We enter your Korean delivery address precisely — including hotel name, floor, and room number or apartment unit — and manage all courier communications in Korean. If the courier attempts delivery while you are out, we coordinate re-delivery or pickup on your behalf.
