 |
|
Hi,
I have a Nonghyup Check card which is a Maestro. Is that usable to purchase online via G-market?
Is G-market pretty much like Amazon in terms of how the checkout procedure works? At the moment I' a bit paranoid I'm going to click something that's going to commit me to buying the Dokdo Islets or something similarly expensive and 100% Korean.

| If it has a visa or mastercard logo on the front you shouldn't have any problems. |

IF what I've seen before is still valid, NH Check Card comes out with a BC network logo, thus will be recognized online as a 'BC Card' instead of NH Card.
When you finish shopping at Gmarket and proceed to checkout, choosing BC Card(비씨카드) as a payment method will lead to all those usual plug-in cr**s of "ISP payment module."
This ISP module is a real piece of work (read sarcasm), which will attempt to load up pre-established (prior to your shopping with Gmarket or any other vendor) credit and/or debit card authentication info.
Said establishment of BC Card ISP works similar to a typical internet banking 'digital certificate', which means you should have set up an ISP PIN code long before you started your shopping process.
Initial set-up can be made through http://www.bccard.com/, there seem to be no fully-serviced English counterpart, and ISP-related menu can be found right next to a 'metro' icon as '안전결제(ISP) 안내'.
I wish you the best of luck setting it up. |

Holy crap, would it be easier with a visa? |

| I usually buy and then pay by bank transfer. I forgot the detail buttons to press when checking out, but there is some option to pay by bank transfer. When you select that, it will give you an account number at the bank you choose, and you have 3 days (or so) to put the money in that account. You can do it by an internet transfer, go to the bank, or probably at the ATM. |

Distinction between Visa and Mastercard doesn't mean much for domestic transactions within Korea, especially when it comes to online payments.
If you already have an internet banking facility set up with NH, along with your card, then Drew345's suggestion is in fact more straightforward.
You might also notice that there is a midway arrangement called '실시간계좌이체("Real-time Transfer")' which is a one-time direct debit from your account, skipping any credit/check card info. If you figure that out, that's fine. IMHO, nevertheless, you'd feel much safer wiring money at the moment of your choosing than 'letting it deducted' out of your account. |

The Nonghyup internet banking system is crazily complicated and non user friendly. I can't even remember all the passwords and where to enter each one. ugh. I'll give it a go on the BC card thing, but I'm really disappointed at how inconvenient online purchasing is here.
Do you know the Korean name of the one where I go to my atm machine and just do a transfer from there? Not ideal as that tends to put a delay on the purchase, but hey, whatever's easiest.
By the way, is it tricky to set up paypal here or easy? It looks like it might be more convenient to set that up here and use that.

Do online transfer, it's much easier. Assuming you have internet banking?
The Korean for this is 실시간 계좌이체. I don't even think you need to set it up now that I think about it. You do need to install several active-x programme thingy, but once that's done you can do it easily. Just be mindful that Nonghyup's internet banking shuts down from 11.30pm daily, so for this online transfer to work, you have to complete your transaction by 11.30pm. |

Have you tried setting up a paypal account here? I'm betting it's a nightmare yeah? Why the hell is banking so bad here? |
