UPDATE:
I just placed an order using the Paypal Express Checkout. It was super easy and the order shows now "Shipping Preparation" right after submitting the order. I also received a confirmation email by Paypal. I will see if they refund me the excess shipping costs if my package weighs less than the estimation =D I'll update to tell you if I got Cash Balance or a Paypal refund.
A reader pointed out to me that there is a new payment method available on Gmarket: Paypal Express Checkout.
That's a huge improvement as it means your order will be confirmed right after sending your payment instead of having a pending payment for 1-2 days.
I have NOT tried this out yet but it seems that the Express Checkout is pretty much the same as other websites like Adambeauty are using.
You place your order and will be directed to Paypal's website right away where you can just go ahead with your payment (order number etc. already filled out) so your payment will be confirmed right with your payment.
Gmarket also says that you can get refunds/partial refunds to Paypal this way so I am hopeful we might be able to get the overpaid shipping costs refunded to our Paypal. That would make Gmarket shopping 100000 times neater!
Here are the steps taken from Gmarket, I think they're pretty much explaining how it works =D

Hi Kathi, thanks for replying to my question. I tried the paypal system, and got my order confirmed, but I did not receive any email from paypal that they have taken the payment. )):
At the same time, when I check back on MY GMARKET, the order doesn't show.
If you've tried on the new system already, so let me know how did yours work out k?
Thanks Kathi! :D

Hi,
I am sure it'll be fine and you'll see the confirmation soon. Have you checked your paypal account if the money has been deducted?
cheers,
Kathi
Kathi!!! YOu star!!!!
I was just about to order then i saw your post.
Gooooooood news indeedy!
Thanks a million for this post.
Hurray!! Finally a normal way to pay gmarket! I love the site for the Korean makeup, but I found it a bit difficult to use...
I've been thinking about a gmarket purchase for a while but haven't been able to go through with it. A Paypal refund for overpaid shipping charges might just be the push I need. Please let us know if that's where they reimburse you. Thanks.

Hi Kathi, thanks for all the tips!
But I have a question...
I tried using Paypal Express Checkout, my order has already been processed and shipped, and I got some extra money credited back to me in my cash balance.
Was wondering if you know how could I transfer it back to my paypal account?
Thanks!

Hello. I am also having a problem using PayPal Express. I paid via Paypal Express and my money got deducted. My echeck is sent to Gmarket but when I went to check my Gaccount, there was no money. I asked Gmarket what happen to my money and they just reply that they never received it. So, it's been a week and still no money in my Gaccount when the echeck is already sent. So what happen and what do I do? Please help if you can.
Hi, i was wondering whether i could pay by posb savings by paypal in gmarket.

It didn't work for me, I mean nothing popped-up except this message in Korean that I clicked "OK" to.
I was about to place a order through the PayPal in GMarket but when the PayPal popup appreared and I logged in it didn't show the item or the amount of money that would be withdrawn so I pressed cancel button. Can anyone verify if the GMarket Paypal system works at all or is it just broken like the most of the site is anyway when using browsers other than Internet Explorer?
