Scam and Customer's responsibility

Most of Japanese sellers are conscientious and honest. However, it is also true that there are some people who fall victim to frauds. Please always check the seller's feedback score and read a description carefully using translate tool before you bid on an item.

We do our best to help you get an item, contact a seller, make a payment and ship an item to you safely. However, we are not liable for the damage of the item, improper representation and any other fraudulent activities. So please place a bid with self-responsibility.

If a seller has low feedback score or some negative feedback, we recommend you to stay away from them. Even if you haplessly fall victim to a fraud, you are responsible for all of the payment.
