Hi, a native Japanese speaker based in the US here. I think it's worth mentioning that Buyee does not guarantee authenticity and does not have a system to protect buyers from purchasing fakes. Here's what the website says: "Appraising and guaranteeing items authenticity is not part of our warehouse inspection. Therefore, any negotiations with stores to return or change your item will not be accepted, even if you have received a fake item. Also, fake brand items are not covered for compensation even under Standard Plan or Inspection Plan. We urge customers to consider and confirm the item carefully before purchasing them." Yes, it is illegal to sell fakes in Japan, but it is permissible for individuals to purchase fakes for personal use, for example, someone can buy fakes abroad and bring them back to Japan or websites for fakes are readily available in Japanese. As long as fakes can be used in Japan, it is safe to assume some are mixed in the preloved market.

Thank you for pointing this out (and something I should have mentioned, that Buyee does not guarantee even if a seller might). Fakes are always a possibility of course, even with the best standards.

@@ratititi7360 Go online and look up *How to buy preloved luxury from Japan* and you will learn all there is to know. There's a method to buying if you live outside Japan or if you live in the UK (better) or the US (you will need a UK virtual/ physical address which you can acquire) in a 2 part process in order to get items shipped to you.

The hunt makes this even more fun! I lived in Japan for a few years and can access the Japanese sites without issues. I’ve just been getting into the luxury bag market and searching beyond the typical sites in the US makes it that much more fun to search! Thank you for this information, the Japanese definitely do tend to take care of the items much better and are strict when it comes to authentication and quality control.

I agree, it’s sometimes just so much fun to see what’s out there! And the US markets can be so limited sometimes. Thank you for watching!
This is great, thank you! I've gotten a few luxury products from Japan through eBay (mostly buying from what used to be called I Love Kawaii, I can't remember what their new name is). I've always had really good experiences with those sellers, so I'm excited to find a whole slew of other sellers.

if only other videos would explain things as clear and specifically as you. Thank you.
Great video! The prices are a bit better but then when you add the customs and taxes on items over $800 it adds up. I think for slgs this is a great option. That Donald Gucci tote is really cute and love the panda agenda💗 My concern is customer service as a foreigner. At least I can call fashionphile or rebag if something happens. So many things can go wrong with purchasing luxury. I would be too concerned as a non-Japanese speaker what could happen. Thank you for sharing and I hope to find my next SLG here 💗

I can understand being concerned about customer service, that is definitely a risk. As for the prices, I've found it just depends on the item. Sometimes even with customs I've paid less than for an item being sold in the US 😅
THIS IS AMAZING. I've tried sites like "From Japan" before but get so lost when looking for things. (if only I spoke the language) Thanks for doing this video.

I can read some Japanese which makes things easier, but I often use a translate option to help me navigate! Google chrome has one built in, as does Safari ☺️
Love your video ! It really helps me navigating through these sites now :D What is the lowest price you ever bought a designer bag for on some of these sites? And which one? :)

You're so welcome! I have gotten several vintage LV bags for only a couple hundred dollars 😁 a vintage speedy for about $110 after fees was probably my least expensive purchase.
This is great! Thank you for the in-depth guide. "Pace yourself"? What's that? Also, a thing to note, I believe PayPal also charges an extra fee when making transactions in foreign currencies.

This was very helpful, but I think I‘m unfortunately still somewhat too scared and lazy to order from Japan 🙈. My husband and I would love to visit Japan (we planned to do so, before the pandemic hit) and I probably would go crazy in the luxury preloved stores there 🤩

Hey, that's very fair! It can be scary to buy from a place you don't have experience with, especially if you can't speak the language. I had also planned to visit Japan and had to cancel my trip 😞 hopefully we can both go someday soon!
Interested in the Toki piece. Please do it
thank you so much ! I love your videos . I do have a question for you. I just bought a Chanel bag on Ebay with a Japanese seller, I knew i was going to pay custom but wasnt sure how much. My question is do i pay 10% of the total( i had a coupon so the price was lower than what was listed) or do i pay the Original price ? I paid $2,743.73. Thank you so much !

I've bought a number of items from Japanese resellers on Ebay, and I have yet to have to pay customs as the item goes through the shipping process. Of course, everything I have bought thus far has been used/vintage and not a "precious" item like Chanel or Hermès, so that may have something to do with it..
I lived in Okinawa and they do not sell fake Items. I purchased all my second had Luxury Chanel items for excellent prices!!! If it has a small scratch they will sell it at a nice discount.

Is there a way to ask the seller a question on buyee yahoo auction? I couldnt figure it out. When i click to go on the yahoo japan auction website, it doesn't let me create an account since i do not have an international number
I only bid at shops that have the seal "BUYEE RECOMMENDED" so that I don't have to worry about the authenticity of the products.
So...how do you cancel a bid?
hello! I was looking on there and found several classic flap bags (caviar) around 400-900 usd. And they were used/like new condition. Is that normal? I feel like at that price they would be fakes....what do you think?
@classicswithaquirk
2 жыл бұрын
I would def not trust any classic flap bag selling for under $2000, but some bags will be on auction at a low price to start and then go over $4k-$5k at the very end. That being said, just like English eBay, make sure you're looking at sellers with a lot of feedback. Even in Japan things will slip through with individual sellers, as they have a lot less to lose
How long did it take to get your items shipped?
@classicswithaquirk

It varies, but isn't a couple weeks? It depends on how long it takes the seller to ship to Buyee, but they process and send things out very timely
Have you ever had any of the item you purchased from this site authenticated? Did they turn out to be authentic?

I do feel rakuten has more individual sellers, and I feel there is more of a concern for buying fakes from some individuals, just like on American eBay. I plan to make another video on Buyee and that’s definitely a thing to mention.
Just a note you mentioned 1000kg = 2204lb
Wow. This site actually is confusing…. I’ll stick to regular eBay 😂
Thought this video was about how to get around paying tax and duties.. you obviously dont live in EU.. just wasted 10 min. Of my life..
WW so very interesting and informative. I came here from your recent unboxing of the watercolor Chanel. Gosh I wish my brain would grasp all this because I had really wanted to shop on buyee with your code butttt I think this is a bit above my pay grade as they say. Lol 😂 😳🤦♀️🥲 maybe in time when I get more comfortable. Thanks a bunch !!! I’m saving this in my save files though
