Want to buy something from Korea? Try Gmarket!

Gmarket is Korea's #1 shopping website and a lot of merchants on there ship internationally (They're owned by eBay). They have an English website here:

For certain things (like palm rests) I found them to be cheaper than joining GH and Deskthority group buys, so check it out!

I took a look and it's awfully spotty, just to give a frame of reference.

The big thing from Korea right now is those 2560x1440 bargain monitors. They have virtually none and they're no cheaper than buying from the US ebay


I also searched my favourite Korean comic, and that came up much better, but it's still pretty spotty trying to resolve things like "do you ship internationally?"

Hey Hak!

Funny seeing ALL the GH old timers here!

Actually I vaguely remember Gmarket being used successfully before. Doesn't Leopold recommend them?

I'd like to buy a Milestone palm rest, but the UI is a pain. Not always quite sure what is going on through each page.

Pretty sure the listing says "global shipping" or "worldwide shipping" beside them if they do ship internationally.

Two type.
1. Just sale when sales company show new goods or sell old goods.
oneaday.co.kr

2.After getting people for target point, people get to target, it`s 10~50 per(different to goods) sales.
www.coupang.com and many sites.

it`s only ship to korea address. So, the other country people will use freight forwarder.
only 24 hour or 48 hour countdown.
if you understand korean language, you can anyway.
