Jauce - How does it work?

[ripley802]

Okay, I sorta get everything now. But would every item on Jauce also be available on Fromjapan? is the item number just in the URL?
Should I get multiple small items in one order, or multiple huge lots in one order?

The items should be on both sites because they are just offering a proxy service to purchase the items. The items themselves (for auctions anyway) are central to the Yahoo Japan auctions so the item number is the same. I usually just grab it from jauce and search/watch the item in FromJapan.

It is sort of a catch 22 regarding multiple small items or a few large lots. If you go small your fees will be more as you pay for each auction won a 700¥ fee using FromJapan, but shipping may be less since the items are smaller and weigh less. On the other side, if you go big you may only have two or three auctions so cheaper fees but shipping may be crazy expensive.
