How to Buy from Yahoo Auctions Japan (ヤフオク) from Overseas
To buy from Yahoo Auctions Japan (ヤフオク) from overseas you need a Japanese proxy (deputy) service: Yahoo requires a Japan-based account and payment, and most sellers ship only within Japan. The proxy bids, pays the seller, then forwards the parcel abroad. Budget for the winning bid plus proxy commission, domestic shipping, packing, international shipping, and your country's import tax. Sales are effectively final — there are no real returns.
