Even if your register, how are you going to pay?

I'm assuming you don't have a japanese CC or bank account...

If it is when you are signing in they may want your email address. I did that with rakuten.

Ahh that sounds great man!! Could you please pm me or post an update on your thread once you get the yahoo account going again?

I've paid with bank transfers from my (American) bank before.

don't they cost you like $20 each?

and by the way you have to pay $2.50 a month to hold an account.

[Lucas]

Could you let me know how to do this?

I get free wire transfers through my bank. Even if I were paying $20, though, it would still end up being cheaper than most bid services.

Lucas: Get other person's bank information, go to your bank, fill out a form, and send it away. I would definitely recommending having some Japanese knowledge, though, as it requires a lot of communicating with the seller.

Appreciate the knowledge ruach, also what bank are you with?

Also seems it will be quit difficult if i have to communicate in Japanese to the seller one on one through every order placed. Do you think it would work if i used Japanese to english program on my mac it seems like it would be problematic although it works to translate websites okay. Whats your method? or do you speak/read Japanese?

You can try with a translator, but the results are not very accurate. Perhaps you could try to have a friend that speaks japanese help you. Usually I try to write the emails myself and have a friend go over them.

Also, make sure the seller is willing to ship overseas. Most aren't.

I use Washington Mutual.

I have knowledge of Japanese but definitely not enough. I mainly use a combination of dictionaries, an online translator, and sometimes help from friends. It can be confusing since a lot of the terms don't get correctly translated by online translators.

Also, in addition to making sure they will ship overseas, you also have to make sure they will do bank transfers (which pretty much everybody I've come across does) or whatever other payment method you're using.

I have WM as my bank too i will definitely talk to them and try it out, thanks for your help man.

Ya if it doesn't work out when do you think you will be able to get your yahoo account up?
