Hey folks.
I'm looking at purchasing a used item from Japan, listed on Yahoo Auctions, via a proxy service. I know other folks here have done the same before, and I have two questions:
1. The shipping details for this item appear to suggest the seller is shipping it "cash on delivery"...that is, the proxy will receive the shipping bill at time of delivery, instead of shipping being prepaid. Is this common in Japanese auctions? In other words, is it a scenario the proxy will be familiar with?
2. I am currently looking at either Buyee or (leaning towards) ZenMarket as the proxy of choice. Can anyone suggest a better or preferred choice?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
