The fee changes because it is 30% of the card cost at a minimum of $1. So any cards $3 and under will have a fee of $1 because 30% is less than $1 but that is the minimum, and cards $3.50 and over the fee will be 30% of the card price.
that explains it! thank you!
@@fromiseventeen Also I’m pretty sure they price based on what they pay like you mentioned about the member pricing and the same cards priced differently on different days, so it seems like their price is based off whatever they paid for it. Which means there are some really great prices but also some real head scratchers like those $30 album pcs lol.
This was a very helpful video! I've never heard of pocamarket before, so this was very interesting 👀 for the very cheap prices, I would assume that pocamarket could have gotten those cards in sets (because a lot of sellers do photocard dumps for very low on places like bunjang) and then distributed the overall price across the cards. It's just a speculation😅
i definitely was thinking about them getting the cards as sets especially with a lot of the nonalbum cards they have!
ahh quick question so I tried translated bunjang just hearing about it so the main page translte from Korean to english but the rest doesnt what do I do?
oh thanks for this review! you explained everything very well and answered all the doubts i could have, especially about the shipping fee within korea and the authenticity of the cards! i haven’t heard about this website but with your video i got curious and went to look out for things there but i’m gonna be honest and say nothing appeals me too much bc for the groups i collect they unfortunately don’t have much variety in the cards available :/ i hope they increase the options of cards in the future so i can test it out too 😊 and again, amazing video!
Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful ❤️ and I agree with you the member pricing is wild, and I think for the cheap photocards they must have gotten them in random sets for a cheap price, I know that on Korean sites a lot of times they will sell bundles of random photocards for a specific group for a really cheap price but you dont really know what are the photocards that you are getting
i've never heard about this business until now so i was really intrigued to watch this video and hear your thoughts about it 👀
glad to introduce you to them!!!
I clicked on this video SO fast because I have seen this service around quite a lot recently and while I also noticed the member pricing, I immediately saw a lot of Joohoney cards that I have never been able to fin on Japanese sites and some Taehyung tour photocards that are unreasonably expensive on Japanese sites too.. so I've been really interested in giving it a try for those reasons alone! So thank you so much for this thorough video! I do agree that some of their pricing (even apart from just member pricing) seems a little bit off sometimes and makes you wonder.. I definitely wish they'd be a little bit more transparent with everything but I'm hoping as the service grows and more people start using it, we'll get more info soon! I feel confident enough to try the service now so thank you again for this video 🥰
Omg thank you for the review! I have heard of it but sounded too good to be true. I had tried to register on the app but it required a Korean number so I gave up. I didn't know the site was much accessible ^^
i ordered 6 photocards, and the shipping cost was very high, but anyways i ordered it but didnt even get a confrontation email, and i even texted them but didnt get a reply, and it says the order is still processing, is this normal?
Very helpful video, thank you! I found this page bcs I want to get my first photocards but the shipping to europe would cost me twice more than the cards itself and all of it together is just still too expensive. xd
Thanks for your review its helpful, since i'm also using pocamarket.
They do some member price, but i feel like price is more based on " the more people buy this card = the higher the price get " + member pricing ?
Honestly its confusing.
I realized after buying one woozi pc, i bought it and when i came back on the website a few days after the cards price went up a little bit.
For the service fee, i do understand, since they don't put a limit to the days spend in storage, they charge you almost 10$, on one hand its nice, i have pc that wait there for months now
You actually can get a refund but from what i understood you need to wait 10 days, thats clearly too much and really not easy to understand
hi there!! thank u so much for the video, i’m definitely gonna try so buy some pc, just wanted to know a tiny information, u have a tracking number after buying right?
thank u so much for this vid. i was gonna buy from them the the shipping and the wallet is so dumb. idk what to do now. but thank u!!
so my problem, i put some money on it, bought cards, put more to add more cards to my collection, but it sent a message to my bank about a fraud alert? im not sure if its because im using a debit card but what would you reccomend i do?
Does anyone knows how can I track my order on Poca? status say Delivering but gave a weird track numero and on fedex say it is invalid :'(
The member pricing is so bad. I collect my top 3 in twice + select OT9 sets and it’s so sad seeing Tzuyu get listed for £0.50-£2.50 for a photocard and Nayeon, Momo or Sana get listed £5-£10+ for the same version card
I'm glad they moved it up to 40 cards bc it is worth it only if you get the full 40 cards. That way if you don't have a coupon to use (which poca does shipping coupons a lot) then each card will be about $1 shipping. I had a decent experience with pocamarket, I was shocked how fast the cards arrived considering they are based in SK. I put my shipping request on Friday and had the cards delivered to me that following Wednesday.
its probably an algorithm that calculates supply and demand like amazon uses.
Does anyone know about the custom fees that are normally charged for their deliveries? I'm just scared it might be really high.. (I'm from Europe)
The fees are charged by TNT (FedEx) and it's 30% of the VAT value applied to the products (minimum 5€). You will have to pay the standard VAT rate of your country too. At least in my country they usually send the payment request through a letter like 2 weeks after the package is delivered.
So, for instance, if you live in Germany and the Photocards + shipping fee you paid to Pocamarket amounts 200€ you will have to pay 38€ (VAT) + 13,57€ (Fedex/TNT fee with VAT) = 51,56€.
How many days do they give for the shipping? I mean, how many days do I have to buy the 20 pcs in order the shipping is worth it?
there's no time limit. Once you buy the cards they stay in your collection until you decide to have them shipped.
I've found that the fee for handling is between something like $9.90 and $19.90 and I think it starts off as 9.90 for under 15 cards and gets higher the more you buy (I'm pretty sure)
So, they are original photocards? Do you know if they charge customs fees?
By the way, the packaging caused me a bit of anxiety, I feel like the corners can be folded that way, did your photocards arrive undamaged? Thank you for this video
they are official photocards! for me since i live in the usa i hardly ever get customs charges so i’m not too sure but i feel like they probably do charge customs elsewhere ☹️ and i agree i didn’t like the way the cards arrived in the box but they came safely undamaged!
how much would shipping be to the US if you bought like $100 worth of photocards?
i have no idea
Shipping to the US/Canada I saw was around $30+fee (so around $39). so if u got $100 word it would be around $139 total. I hope this response isn't too late! :] happy collecting
How long did it take to ship to you? Do you have to pay the fee for each pc before shipping and processing fee?
she said it by the end
The shipping is crazy. I was getting 4 photo cards and they wanted 30 dollars for shipping.
it is because they’re shipping directly from korea. if you only plan to get a few photocards i would recommend trying to look for pocamarket group orders on instagram or twitter so you can split shipping with others, there’s no cheap tracked shipping from korea available so a proxy like this is more beneficial if you’re buying a lot of cards.
@@fromiseventeen alr ty
the member pricing is too much for me to justify it..I found a pc on there for $10 dollars that was going for $3 on mercari japan
This is the pocamarket global versions right? How about the korean version? Is it possible to verify without korean number?
no you need a korean phone number to access that one!
@@fromiseventeen oh okay thank you!
Has anyone had their account suspended for no reason
I don’t get the thing with the Korean address so if I put the Korean address instead of my German address will it steal ship to me or to Korea bc I’m so confused ? 😭😭☠️
it’ll ship to the korean address… korean addresses are for forwarding a bunch of packages and then from there you can consolidate shipping of a bunch of packages (whatever is at your korean address) and save on paying shipping for separate packages
collecting jungkook is so hard he's member priced so bad...
i just bought from them yesteryday .
Ooh that’s so cool just I have a question are you from Europe ? If yes can you tell me if the shipping is fast or no :)?
@@yedixtsnoo from usa and yes it fast it takes like 3 to 5 days after they find your pc
How do you know when your item is ship
they put a tracking number on your order on the website!
i appreciate this video sm cuz i was gonna buy from them but the wallet thing is so dumb imo 😭
