Shipping woes

No, Super, the 200 yen per bid comes when you win the auction, as does the rest. Here is a screenshot from an auction I won recently

I opted to go for the "lite" plan, as I typically do.
If they do have a 300 yen bank fee I am not sure where it gets factored in. I thought it might be included with the domestic shipping charge, which you pay for with the international shipping

I double checked and 1800 yen matches what the original auction stated

Overall on Buyee I paid 500 yen in fees. On Jauce I would have paid 400 yen + 8% of the item price (3980 * 0.08=318) plus the 300 yen bank fee for a total of 1018 yen - over double. Shipping cost me nothing extra on Buyee (I could have paid 1500 yen for "smart packing" like Jauce does, but it is optional.) They will slap their own label over the original domestic shipping box. If you order package consolidation, it is 500 yen for two items or 1000 yen for three or more. If you combine packing and do not do "smart packing," they take the original domestic shipping boxes and put them in a larger one with packing material to fill large voids. On Jauce checking right now with items I have yet to ship, it seems they are charging between 500 yen and 1000 yen for larger, heavier items for repacking of single items, which is not optional for single items.

Personally I have not used the more expensive shipping options from Buyee (I'm a cheapskate :p) and still appreciate what Jauce puts into their packing, but it's nice to not have another 20 dollars going on top of item and international shipping charges.

I also like using Mercari because it's an outright buy and I don't have to hope a snipe bid or high bid will hold up. Domestic shipping is also usually paid by the seller as well. As far as I know Jauce does not support Mercari.

They have a promotion running right now through the end of the month where your first purchase on Mercari will grant you one 5000 yen and one 1000 yen off international shipping coupon. The previous coupons of this style required that the item you ship with the coupons to be from Mercari, or there be an item from Mercari in a consolidated package.
