Their "international site" is closing, but their local Japanese one will still operate https://www.rakuten.co.jp/ just have to buy through a proxy. Not a huge issue as if you were to buy direct you'd get stung by customs and duties, and not all Japanese retailers that were on .co.jp were listed on the Global Market.

Had stuff sitting in Tokyo for over a week now saying

“ Prepared for despatch to the UK”

Anyone else getting this. About a month ago ordered stuff it said that and then “ Despatched to the UK” a few hours later then arrived 3 days later in the U.K.(cause it was a weekend). A bit worried marked the value down so get fuck all if it’s missing.

Ems is not shipping to many countries in EU for over a month now. Not sure about the UK, but it is the case for Switzerland.

EMS to UK is OK, just slow. I sent something from Japan on the 23rd via EMS and it only arrived in the UK today. Should just be a case of needing to be patient.

A lot of the sellers on there won't sell to Proxy sites, reason it doesn't usually work with Zenmarket I guess

Damn… just had a letter from Parcelforce asking me to complete ppwk for a package from JP.

Now, do I lower what I paid for it (through YJP) and let me charge me a small amount… or go with the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

They obviously have no idea on it's worth.

Is it all brand new stuff? Any tags attached? Or receipts inside?

I once had this but as it was all used clothing, I just said that it was excess baggage I had from a recent trip that a friend sent back to me. I didn’t hear back from them and got the parcel a few days later.

I bought it through buyee (first mistake). 2nd hand vis noragi and the auction image had it still wrapped up. I am not sure if tags are still on it, but i doubt it has a price tag as Vis don't anymore.

Love your idea though!…
