Aside from shipping fees , Gmarket does not charge any sort of fee for using their services.
After you registere (like on any site), it´s time to start shopping ^^.
When you start looking for something you can write it in english if you don´t know hangul. When the results appear you have to tick the "worlwide shipping" and then click go. You can also click "free domestic shipping" in order to get to pay less shipping, but then you don´t get as many products.
The domestic shipping it´s because when you order something, the seller sends it to Seul, to the central office, where the put all the products you ordered in one box , weight it and then they ship it, so you get all your products once.
Some sellers have a domestic shipping charged, normally I think it´s 2500 wons; or they have a condition charge, *if you buy more than... free shipping*, or it´s directly free.
There are two important things right here you need to know.
- First: International Shipping. Unfortunately not every seller on Gmarket sells internationally so always make sure this says they do before you purchase an item.
- Second: Item Weight. It´s estimated, but you have to pay it and then,so when they weight your parcel if it´s less, they give you back money (gcash) and when it´s more you have to pay the difference (in gcash).
If the seller sells internationally, you can see,that in the description of the product before the weight it says "Available countries & overseas fees". Click that. This gets you to a chart that puts the prices for the EMS shipping, depending the region or the area. Spain, in this case it´s at the end, separated from Europe ^^.
When you decide to make an order, you go to your cart and click "Place an Order". They get you to a page where you have to write many things but don´t worry.
I recommend paying with Paypal as it´s safer.
It's now time to enter in your information. It sounds easy enough, but yet again there is another odd thing about this form.
When you get to this section your e-mail will automatically be entered in where it says "sender's e-mail". And your phone number will be entered in as well under "Telephone".
Well that doesn't make sense does it. We are not the senders we are the ones who will be receiving the product. And that's another thing odd about this: it appears that there is a mess up and it should say "receiver's e-mail" instead of "sender's email". But for all other parts where it says "receiver's" put your info and senders put there info.
Now when filling out the form you will notice that it asks for the "sender's name". Here you can put anything like for example your favorite idol ^^ (I <3 Lee Taemin). You have to use Latin alphabet.
Once you have everything filled out look for your country. The shipping charge is only the estimated shipping charge , which could go up or down when the actual item arrives at the warehouse where they weight it.
In the warehouse they weight it, and if you have to pay more you have to purchase gcash (what they use on gmarket) and pay it with them. If they have to give you money back, they put the money in your gaccount, in gcash.
If you pay with paypal, don´t forget to permit the pop-up.
After you paid, the page should get you to your shopping list. There you should see the following
[Date][Seller Info][Item][QTY][Payment][Shipping]
Shipping:it here will show you what step your product is in.
When you first order that spot will say Pre-Request . This means that they have notified the seller that you have purchased there product. Once the the seller returns the notification it will now say On Request or domestic shipping. This means that the item is currently on its way to the ware house. The shipping to the warehouse depends on the sellers or depends on how many products you bought.
Once it arrives they will weight the item and notify you if there is any difference in the weight that would result in a change in the shipping charge. This you can see it if you click on any product from the order, at the downside of the page, before your data you can find the payment shipping info.
After you have payed or received any money for the shipping it will now say Now Shipping/Departing.
