Initial payment

After using Purchase or Price inquiry, the first payment covers the estimated item total plus service fee.

  • This amount is based on the seller's price and our estimate.

Adjustment after review

After we check the actual purchase cost:

  • If the real cost is higher, we send an additional payment request.
  • If you paid too much, the difference is credited to your wallet.

Shipping payment

When you request shipment, we issue the shipping fee request.

  • After payment is completed, your parcel is shipped.

PayPal checkout

Quick & simple

PayPal adds an 8% checkout fee.

  • This 8% fee is charged by PayPal, not by KOFREEGATE.
  • Best for quick, one-time checkout.
