What Is a Proxy Buying Service? (Buy-for-Me Explained)
· ppasong
How proxy purchasing works, what it costs, and when it makes sense.
The core problem it solves
Korean checkouts require a domestic card and phone verification. A proxy service already has both, so the barrier disappears.
How the money works
You pay item price, a service fee and shipping in one charge. The service pays the Korean store in won.
What the fee covers
Payment handling, placing and tracking the order, receiving it, inspecting it, and dealing with the store if something is wrong.
When it is not worth it
For a single cheap item that is easily available domestically, local purchase usually wins after fees.
