Gmarket (지마켓)

Gmarket is another pioneer in the field of Korean Internet commerce and open market sites.

Founded in 1999 as an Interpark subsidiary, acquired by eBay in 2009, combined with Auction in 2011, and now functioning as Gmarket Global Limited, it appears that Gmarket is being tossed around like a hot potato.

It remains to be seen whether they can compete with the flashy new apps that are all the rage.

Listed, bought, and sold include collectibles, appliances, computers, furniture, equipment, vehicles, and other miscellaneous stuff. Large worldwide corporations such as LG and Samsung also use competitive auctions and fixed-priced shops to promote their newest products and services. Regional database searches make shipping somewhat faster or cheaper.

By joining the developers programme, software developers can design applications that interface with the marketplace via the Gmarket Service. The Gmarket Developers Programme has thousands of participants, which include a diverse spectrum of organizations developing software products to serve Gmarket buyers and sellers, as well as Gmarket Affiliate Systems.

The corporation quickly removes auctions that violate its terms of service agreement. The policy of the company is to not pre-approve transactions. Unscrupulous sellers can easily offer counterfeit and credit items on Gmarket, which can be difficult for beginner purchasers to discern without careful examination of the auction description.
