Buying from Yahoo Japan but only speak English..

[RB_26]

Now I can browse Yahoo Japan with the various online translators and can get a pretty good idea what I'm looking at but in order to actually buy parts I will need a login... anyone on here use the Yahoo auctions?

Looks like a lot of great deals if I could only contact the sellers! lol

Help!

[RB_26]

Also... can I setup a normal Yahoo account and logon to the Jap site.. hmmm so many questions.. some of your must of thought of this before. spill the beans..

Usualy when you try login with a translator, it wont let you login, just keeps playing up.

Create your own account, its easy.

i buy from yahoo sometimes...check this lil ripper out!Its now sitting at a friends place in tokyo....should be loads of fun!http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m8501909

Ok, so are we saying I can setup a standard account... then I can login to the Jap auctions?

not only do you need to sign up, but you also need to pay a bidding fee once a year using a credit card.

I've got it set up and have an agent that EMS's or seafreights stuff out, so if you need anything let me know and I can bid on em for ya. He does charge a 10 - 15% commission tho.

I see, so I can setup my own account. How do you comunicate with the sellers. Do I have to enter my credit card?

there is also http://www.slidewizeimports.com/products/yahoo.html who can bid on items for you over there on your behalf..

looks like a good service, but never used it myself.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

yeah, i was gonna recommend slidewizeimports

the online translator is a bit dodgy. im considering learning japanese!!

some of the translations are pretty funny

Sil Beer = Silvia

Null D = Nardi

if u know some people who have yahoo accounts, get them to bid for you. that's what i do

[funkymonkey]

you can set up the account, but you need to pay a fee to be able to bid. Also communication is by asking the seller questions (think it's the 3rd tab under the main list). To date i've only dealt with 2 people who speak english (both manga collectors lol), the rest I've asked stuff in japanese.

Cool, so just to confirm (I am slow :Oops: ) You can set up an AU normal Yahoo account and that allows you to login to the Jap site.. ? Or are we saying you setup an account on the jap site as opposed to AU etc... ?

So you can still comunicate with the sellers if you don't actually pay with visa ? But in order to bid you pay.

God it is so much easier with ebay! lol

Couple of sites offer the dealing... just don;t want to get burned from a seller & an agency! :kick: :flamed:

Thanks guys

no you need to setup a japanese yahoo acct, you can't use them interchangably. its faily easy to set up a yahoo japan id.

you can communicate with the seller without being a paid user, but to physically bid on the car you need to have paid the fee.

[lwells]

You have to setup an account on Yahoo JP: non-JP accounts don't work.

LW.

I have used this conpany over 40 times, never had a problem with their service.

Just make sure you understand their rules and fee's

Small things are not worth it,due to fees, more costly things work out better

Its best not to send emails to the sellers on Yahoo unless you actually can buy something (as you would be wasting their time otherwise). The Google translator on our site works well, as long as you read carefully and have a good idea about what you are looking for. Carefully study the pics too.

I can help with any questions about how the service works, its lots of fun even just having a look at all the amazing parts at such cheap prices

We are buying for the current container at present that will be arriving in March. Prices on freight are low, and we have plenty of space left.
