what is it?
buying from ksellers mean purchasing kpop goods from korean platforms, not instagram/depop etc.why?
"market prices" on different platforms are different, some items are much cheaper on korean platforms. also, some pcs that are “never” ufs on ig could be ufs on korean platforms!

almost all korean sellers do NOT accept paypal nor ship internationally- you will need access to a korean address (sites like paysable, delivered, korgou, or a proxy)
- you will need a korean bank account/proxy (paysable is a good one, i use it to transfer money!)

most sellers are NOT fluent in english- you must not expect them to message in english, use papago or a reliable translator and text in korean while buying unless stated otherwise

the norms are totally different there- overpricing and memberpricing is very normalized there, and you shouldn't try to do anything about it because it won't change anything :/
- because of the reason above, some members are more expensive than others, and some pcs are considered "rare" and are overpriced so it may not be a good option for you if you collect these pcs :(
- qyop/bidding is also very normalized there so be aware !

the rules are also different !- proof videos are almost never given and you shouldn't expect one. most sellers don't do one and the most they'd do is a proof photo with the time/your username on it
- address confirmations are never given, proof of sendout is given only with a tracking number
- most ksellers do not have a proof thread, bunjang sellers may occasionally have reviews but thats it
- toploader packing is not standard, most sellers use cardboard
- i know it sounds really fishy by now but from my experience i've never been scammed by a kseller nor had something get lost!
- you can search for the bank acc number on twt in case anyone exposed them!

prices
