Sorry to be a newbie but -- how do folks understand the text of the Yahoo jp auction site -- and how hard or easy is it to arrange shipping once you've figured out how to bid and you've actually won?

Thanks

there is a contact member here that lives in japan . moriaki man . he will bid and post for you for a fee. he will look after you .cause okshon is not very reliable sometimes.depends on how big the package is as well. you can google the english version of the auctions as well http://www.nsr250.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6875&highlight=okshon

there is a translate feature on the ok!shon site that will translate each item for you. THe english is patchy, but that along with the pictures is usually enough to figure out the item.

OK!Shon has been fine for me and I don't know anyone who's had stuff not arrive.

Their weight limit of 30kg is actually the Japanese postal systems limit, anything over that can't be posted and they won't do anything other than normal post.

Their fee's aren't too bad on big stuff, but as you get stung for at least $20 on every item a dozen cheap little things soon add up.

Ive used Moriaki Man in the past and cant thanks him enough he was able to bid and pack and send items with no problems so id recommend him . Living in Japan he is able to source other items to so give him ago

Thanks for the recommendations fella's

Thought i better say "hello" as searching for moriaki man will reveal nothing

also OKshon wont tell you who are shady sellers I have already "blocked" a few as they put items up that are junk but with out listing them as such. Out of focus mobile shots so you can't see the rust on damper rod's ect.... just be wary ! if it looks to good to be true it generally is.

Their latest tactic is to put English in with listing saying they post international - thing is you still can't bid without an account or 3rd party so you email them and get stung! Watch out !!

MM!
