How To Bid

Creating an account

Legal name: Used for payment and shipping. It cannot be changed after registration, so please enter it carefully.
Display name: This is the name shown on the site.
Email address: Used for messages from the system.
Country, postal code, address, phone number: Used for the seller's shipment and for the automatic shipping calculation when you win. Enter an address where you can receive the item. If you have items forwarded through a proxy, register it under My Page › Profile › Register a proxy.
Password: Set a password.
Google sign-in available: The information above is still required when you sign in with Google. Enter it on your profile page before you bid.

After you register, a confirmation email is sent to your address. Click the link in it to complete your registration.

Bidding through a proxy is not permitted.

This site accepts registration and use by overseas members and ships abroad, so there is no reason to bid through a proxy. For convenience, however — when you want an item shipped together with things you won at other auctions, or want a proxy to inspect a high-value item in person — we allow shipping to a proxy’s address and inspection by a proxy, under the following conditions.

You, the winner, provide this site with your proxy’s details (a company or an individual).
You (the actual winner) have registered your name, address and phone number on this site.
You have declared on My Page that you use a proxy.
The proxy (company or individual) has no history of trouble.
When these conditions are met, this site permits shipping to the proxy’s address.
When these conditions are met, this site permits the proxy to inspect the item in person.

If a proxy registers posing as the winner, the results of every auction it is involved in are void. Any deposit it has paid is forfeited as obstruction as soon as it is identified as a proxy.

Inspecting high-value items in person

We recommend inspecting high-value items in person. For items of 1,000,000 yen or more, we recommend an inspection by you or your proxy. Please contact us if you would like one.

Finding an item

The auction page

Bidding is automatic

Using the minimum increment for the price range, the system bids the amount most favourable to the bidder.

Price range	Minimum increment
< $100	$1
< $1,000	$5
< $10,000	$10
< $100,000	$100
< $1,000,000	$1,000
≥ $1,000,000	$10,000

Automatic extension

If a bid is placed within 5 minutes of the close, the end time is extended by the minutes remaining plus 5 minutes.

Time remaining

The countdown begins once the first bid has been placed, and the auction ends when the set period has elapsed. An auction with no bids never starts.

Item details > Duration

The auction ends when this many days have passed from the day of the first bid.

Pay a deposit (option)

On an auction carrying this option you are asked to pay a deposit before you can bid.

If you win: the amount billed = (winning price − the deposit already paid) + shipping.
If you do not win: the deposit is refunded. Please request the refund from Contact. (Bank, PayPal or cryptocurrency transfer fees are deducted.)

The deposit is forfeited if a participant cancels after winning for reasons of their own, delays payment, obstructs the auction, or does anything the operator judges to be equivalent. That judgement is made by the operator and is not published. Please carry a won transaction through without incident.

Buy-It-Now price

An auction carrying this option can be won at the Buy-It-Now price. Whatever the price was until then, the Buy-It-Now price becomes the winning price.

Add to Watchlist

When the item receives its “first bid”, we email you that the auction has started.

Add a title to Category Watch

We email you when a new item from the same title is listed.

Example: add Dragon Ball to Category Watch, and you are emailed whenever a Dragon Ball item is listed.

Skip bid confirmation

Skips the confirmation step, so clicking the bid button places the bid immediately.

Apply to bid (option)

On an auction carrying this option you apply to the seller for permission before bidding. Only approved participants can take part.

Open Time

Bidding becomes possible from this date and time. Before it you can view the auction page but cannot bid — a showcase period.

Payment methods

PayPal, cryptocurrency and bank transfer are available. Check in advance which of them a given listing accepts.

PayPal — a 4.2% PayPal fee applies, both to the winning payment and to a bid deposit.
Cryptocurrency — a 0.5% payment fee applies, both to the winning payment and to a bid deposit.
Bank transfer — available from Japan and from abroad. You transfer yen to the operator's account; the account and the amount are shown on the payment page. Transfer fees are paid by the buyer and no fee is added to the winning price. From abroad we recommend Wise. It costs far less than a bank wire, and the money arrives as a domestic yen transfer.

Cryptocurrency accepted as of 2026/09/01: XRP

Operator listings accept PayPal, cryptocurrency and bank transfer. On a Market Seller listing, the seller chooses from those methods.

Shipping

When the seller is in Japan:

If the seller has chosen prepaid shipping: the cost is calculated automatically from the winner’s address, whether that is in Japan or overseas.
If the seller has chosen freight collect: no shipping is added to the amount billed. Freight collect is never applied to a winner outside Japan; international shipping is applied automatically instead.
If the seller has chosen to quote shipping separately: the seller will tell you the shipping cost after the auction ends. Please pay once you have it.

Questions

You can ask the seller about the item.

When you cannot bid

You cannot bid if the seller has blacklisted you, while your account is suspended, on an auction the administrator has placed on hold, or on your own listings.

Payment

Once you have won, the item appears under My Page > Won Items. Items bought from the same seller are combined into a single payment.

Payment currency: PayPal — payment is in Japanese yen. Whatever currency the auction is displayed in, the amount billed is always JPY. Winning at a price shown in USD still means the amount is converted at the yen rate. (An auction displayed in yen is billed at that same amount.) A fee of 4.2% is added.

Bank transfer — payment is in Japanese yen. Whatever currency the auction is displayed in, the amount billed is always JPY. Winning at a price shown in USD still means the amount is converted at the yen rate. (An auction displayed in yen is billed at that same amount.) No fee is charged.

Cryptocurrency — the amount is converted from the auction's display currency at that day's cryptocurrency rate, and billed in cryptocurrency. A fee of 0.5% is added. XRP is currently the only cryptocurrency accepted.
Paid, Received: For PayPal and cryptocurrency (XRP), the bar advances to Paid and Received automatically once the incoming payment is confirmed. For a bank transfer, click the Paid panel yourself; the bar moves on when the seller confirms receipt.
The payment deadline is 3 days, counting the day the auction ends. If payment is not completed by 23:59 Japan time on the third day, the deposit is forfeited on an auction where one was set. Please watch the deadline.
Shipped: When the seller has shipped, they click the Shipped panel to advance the bar.
Arrived: Once you have received the item, click the Arrived panel.
