For businesses entering Korea

  • Who it fits: Consumer-goods sellers who want marketplace reach alongside Gmarket; one back office lists to both, so it suits sellers already planning a Gmarket presence.
  • English support: Seller signup and the shared ESM Plus console operate in Korean; no separate English seller portal for Auction.
  • Becoming a seller: One signup at signup.esmplus.com covers both Auction and Gmarket; the ESM Plus back office manages listings, orders and settlement across the two marketplaces.
