Our online merchants pay Gmarket a commission to conduct business via the platform; in return, Gmarket directs shoppers to their sites and products. Gmarket then shares this revenue with members as “cash back” – a cycle of incentive that benefits all players.

Gmarket’s presence and standing also generate their own attraction.  Solidly established as a principal player on the field, Gmarket Affiliates enjoy the fundamental element of confidence already in place by a major competitor with a rock-solid track record. Hard-won over decades, the proven business acumen of Gmarket’s old school established reputation is already taking members to new levels the old-fashioned way – by having stood the test of time.  Affiliates are well-placed for success.

Simple increase of manpower permits more work to be accomplished just by virtue of logistics. Tasks can be completed in greater numbers when there are more hands available to complete more of them.  This greater share of accomplishment results in higher sales volume on the part of our merchants, which results in greater product exposure, brand recognition, digital presence, and revenue.  

Bigger numbers and higher sales carry their own momentum, as well – it’s an established principle that items with higher sales numbers and a strong following will continue to sell well, and sell more; many consumers tend to have faith in the “hive mind,” and to trust the selections of the masses.  It’s as if the greater sales prove that quality control research has been completed by those who already made the purchase, and the success of the product in the marketplace already established, taking te guesswork out of the selection.  A kind of insurance of public opinion.

Along with the expected, there are perhaps more surprises than usual items, including rarities and collectibles, antiques, vintage and the outright bizarre.  Members come to our marketplace looking for appliances, artifacts, and miscellaneous novelties; many find unique treasures that might have been thrown out, if not for the existence of a market full of thousands of eager bidders… which just goes to show that if one provides a comprehensive enough marketplace, one can probably find someone willing to buy whatever’s for sale.
