Hi guys,
I've never bought from yja before.
Right now there is a listing for Goku super master stars all 4 of the original variants for 40,000 yen.
The picture us of the lottery release so they are genuine and I've ended up with a fake manga dimensions off the Internet last month.
How much is shipping likely to cost me?
What should the condition be like since all sellers seem to state used no refunds?
I can barely understand reading on buyee.
Any advice is appreciated.
My other option is mandrake but they only have the original version and the description us used twice paste pain.
Dan

I've only used Buyee one time, and the good deal I got on an Ichiban Kuji Oozaru Vegeta only ended up being $20 worth of savings from getting it (comparably) very simply off ebay. Considering the amount of time I spent learning about Buyee and Yahoo Japan and how stressful it was to actually do it and select a shipping option and hope and pray that the shipping price wouldn't be extremely expensive... I think I would have preferred to just spend $20 more and have gotten it off ebay and known exactly what I was getting into.
In my personal opinion, unless it is something impossible to find on ebay (such as a DBZ item like a Japanese shirt that isn't likely to end up on ebay, or DBZ tin of cookies (not sure if food can even be mailed actually...?), or old figure from the 1980s) I would not use YJ or Buyee to get it. For me, it's not worth the time and effort just to save a little bit of money. For me, ebay is safer, familiar, and I am not depending on a middle man (Buyee) to get what I want.
Since what you're wanting has been released pretty recently, I would just get it off ebay or an online store like eknightmedia, bigbadtoystore, toyzinthebox, or Xavier Cal. But that's just my opinion.

I agree. I use buyee often. It is not a good option for obtaining items commonly found on ebay. however extremley expensive items may cost you hundreds less on buyee and some items just never pop up on ebay... youre not really gonna see that ONE keshi, key ring, poppy, epoch, secret figure you've been waiting for pop up on ebay, and if you do youre lucky and getting taxed heavily. as far as fees go...expect 15 bucks tagged on to the advertised price, 7-20 on final shipping, and they WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD INSTANTLY WITHOUT ASKING YOU. bu they are the best source hands down for japanese rares

Hi Guys,
I went for it using Buyee, as it worked out cheaper than eBay.
The only issue I have is the package is too big for SAL small package.
The options I have are;
EMS 7400 Yen
AIR 7600 Yen
SAL 6150 Yen
Seamail 3450 Yen
I'm happy to go with Seamail as I don't mind waiting a month, but they warn about damage to due long term shipping.
Has anyone chosen Seamail before & what happens?
I can afford SAL or Seamail, but don't want my figure to turn up damaged.

You can always choose to "add protective packaging" for a small fee before shipping. I have used SeaMail. my package arrived in good condition.

Thanks doomprevails, did you add the protective packaging?

No. I actually never have. My items are usually loose figures and not very fragile.
