SEOUL -- Shinsegae Group's $3 billion deal to buy eBay Korea vaults the South Korean retail giant into a three-way competition with Naver and fast-growing Coupang for the country's e-commerce market.
Shinsegae, which beat out a competing bid from rival retail group Lotte, will acquire 80% of the eBay unit's outstanding shares through core group company Emart, according to an announcement Thursday.
