Gmarket (지마켓) is one of Korea's largest and longest-running open marketplaces, where thousands of independent sellers compete on price across fashion, electronics, sports gear, home goods, and daily consumables. If you're comparing prices across Korean sellers for almost anything, Gmarket is usually one of the first places to look.
Checking out, though, means passing Korean identity verification and paying with a Korean-issued card — steps most foreigners in Korea simply can't complete. Send us the Gmarket listing, option, and quantity, and we place the order on our own verified Korean account with your Korean address as the delivery address, so the seller's courier brings it straight to your door.
Why ordering from Gmarket is hard for foreigners
Korean identity verification at signup
Gmarket ties account registration to Korean identity verification, a step most foreign visitors and residents without Korean ID cannot pass, which blocks access before you even reach a checkout page.
Only Korean-issued cards work
Checkout is built for domestically issued cards and Korean mobile payment apps. Foreign-issued Visa or Mastercard numbers are commonly declined, and there is no PayPal option.
Every seller, every listing, in Korean
With thousands of independent sellers, option menus, sizing, and seller policies vary listing to listing and are written entirely in Korean, making it easy to order the wrong variant.
How Order in Korea solves it
We buy on a verified Korean account
Order in Korea holds a fully verified Korean account, so we can complete checkout on any Gmarket listing without you ever needing to pass Korean identity verification yourself.
You pay by PayPal, we pay in won
You pay us through PayPal in your own currency — no Korean card required. We settle the purchase with the seller in Korean won. Our fee is 10% of the item price, minimum $5.
We confirm the listing and your address
We read the Korean listing and confirm the exact option, size, or set with you before ordering, then verify your Korean delivery address so the seller's courier reaches your door directly, taking any follow-up call in Korean.

Gmarket — frequently asked questions
Can I buy from Gmarket without Korean ID verification?
Yes. Gmarket's checkout requires Korean identity verification that most foreigners in Korea can't complete, so we complete it for you. Send us the listing link and option, pay by PayPal, and we place the order on our verified Korean account.
What does Order in Korea charge?
Our fee is 10% of the item price, with a $5 minimum and a $20 minimum order, shown before you pay. Most of it covers real costs — PayPal takes about 4.4% plus $0.30, and currency conversion adds roughly 3–4% — leaving us with an actual margin of about 2–4%.
Where will my Gmarket order be delivered?
Any Korean address you give us: an apartment, an officetel, a dorm, a hotel or short-term rental, or an office. We enter it exactly as the seller's system expects, and their courier delivers it directly — the parcel never passes through us.
Gmarket has thousands of sellers — what if I'm unsure which option to pick?
Tell us what you're after in the order notes — size, color, set, quantity — and we'll check the Korean listing and confirm the right option before we place the order, so there's no guessing on a page you can't fully read.
