NEED HELP BUYING FROM YAHOO AUCTIONS JAPAN

Post by nicolas_3d » Sun Jan 19, 2014 5:08 pm

Hi, I went on yahoo auctions japan to take a look at the dragonball merchandise and found many interesting things i'd like to purchase. I use google chrome to translate the pages, i understand the biding part and everything but I need help for the rest of process.

I tried to create an account so I could bid on stuff but it won't let me enter my canadian postal code. Can you buy on this website if you are not living in japan? How does it work... Could someone please make a step by step tutorial or something and share it with the Kazenshuu community, it would benefit all of us.

thanks

I'd also really like something like this, as I get confused and scared away when I try to use it.

I personally use 2 services, for yahoo auctions I use Shopping Mall Japan, for everything else I use tenso.
Both are pretty straight forward.

it seems as if we have to use a intermediary company when we buy from yahoo auctions. this company based in japan buys the item for you and then sends it to you, you pay the company. You just have to tell them the link of the item you want. That's what i found so far in my research, you guys should check celga.com, it seems like a reliable company. Very useful
