Checked the FAQ but couldn't find anything definitive on the topic. Can we get money orders here to pay for something ordered online? Credit card isn't an option, which is why I'm looking to do it this way. Do only some banks do money orders? Has anyone gotten them anywhere?

I don't know about money orders per se, but it sounds like a bank draft would do the trick for you. In Korean it's "junsinhwan," and you can get them from Korean Exchange Bank. Probably you can get them from other banks, too.

Money orders are available at KEB
I recommend them for their fast effecient service and good rates.
Other banks have them but dont seem to know their asses from a hole in the ground. Avoid the frustration and go to KEB(Korea exchange bank)

Thanks.

The other problem I seem to be running into is that a lot of places that do ship internationally, won't accept international money orders.

You can get the money order made out in Yen, US or Euro. Oh yeah and Won
