How to use Auctions.yahoo.co.jp & others cool websites

First, i don't speak Japanese, so this is how i'm using this website and all i know about it, if you have more informations i will gladly add them, thanks.

This website is the local Ebay and when i mean local, it's dedicated to Japan: language, payment options, addresses, bank card, everything is made to keep this marketplace safe and clean.

More than 90% to 95% of the sellers don't ship overseas, some don't speak english and some don't have paypal and some don't want to waste time to ship outside Japan.

If you want to try to register yourself, remember that there are two kind of counts on auctions.yahoo.co.jp, the first is free but you can only bid up to 4,999 yens if you want to bid higher you've got to have a premium account and it's 399 yens per months (tax included) [月額399円 （税込）] !!!! [link]

This is what you will see :


A little translation :


Now let's dream about some Supercell CDs, your choice : first write supercell in the "write your dreams here" then click on the "let's go !" button or first chose "CD | Music" then write supercell, it's the same.

you will have a list like this :



Once again, a little translation


So, once you have written " supercell " and pressed the " enter " button, you will see something like this :


a really short explaination :


About the column on the left : you've got tons of options but the must useful are : NEW & about the goods (new or used)



Second part of the topic, better late than never, sorry :

Once you click on an item, here is what you will see :


Now a little translation :






Here are some translations about the state ot the items :

新品 : New
新品同様 : New like new
未開封 : unopened, sealed
未使用 : unused
中古 : used
美品 : good condition
箱あり : box included
説明書あり : user included
難あり : default
貴重品 : rare

 

It should be almost complete now :)

Now, how to buy ?

There are many companies which are doing the hard work for you, i'm using PROXYRABBIT.COM, they are the best, fast answers, low service fees, strong packaging, english & french spoken.

There are no registering buttons, once you send your first request, your "account" is created, then everything is made by exchanging e-mails.

You just have to copy and paste the url of the auction and ask for a bid up to what you want. Read carefully the conditions and exemple texts.

Happy bidding !!
