Hi all
I saw an auctions which I'm interested. Normally I use Crescent Trading, but the seller will ship internationnaly. The shipping is around 50$, but if I use my middleman I nedd to pay twice this price I presume.
The problem is how can I contact him. I can only bid if I'm a user, so I'm not. How to contact the seller, I would like to deal oustide of Yahoo Japan if possible.

I was able to create an account on Yahoo Japan, so I was able to ask the question. Now all I can hope is the seller to contact me so we can make a deal outside of Yahoo Japan.

In fact you create an account on Yahoo Japan, so you can contact the seller, but it is not an account on Yahoo Japan Auction, where you can bid.
You can contact the seller and try to to buy off Yahoo Japan, but me so far I got no luck with that.

You don't necessarily need an address in Japan just to create an account. I actually live in the US in the midwest and created an account just fine. I had a little help from Babelfish and Excite translation services via the 'net. Actually need to find out what my login and passwords are now. LOL!

My friend here in the US that speaks and writes Japanese handles my YahooJapan Auctions for me. If the seller will ship internationally, they will usually deal with a International Money Order. When they state that they will ship internationally, it usually means they are used to dealing in this way. I have had good luck in this regard. If you are polite and present your case intelligently, the seller will probably deal with you. Good luck.

I got a contact in Japan. I was able to get the seller to accept paypal, and I got the shipping fees for Canada in EMS. Now all I need is to get my contact tell me how is service will cost me.

You can bid if you have a Yahoo Japan Auction account. If the seller do not ship oversea, well you can't bid.
If you only have a Yahoo Japan account, like me, you can ask question to the seller.

I won the auction. Fewture Getter 3 with the Getter Gun, all that for 27 000 Yen, so around 230$ USD. Shipping for Taiwan to Canada EMS is an extra 7500 Yen, so around 63 USD. Not bad at all!
