  • Theres things that don’t make sense..

    I have been using this app for 2 years. My first 2 purchases were amazing and then my next purchases were a mess. I wanted this item, but it was listed as “prohibited” because it’s was not allowed to ship to the U.S, but in reality it wasn't prohibited (it was a car part). It was purchased and shipped from a friend of mine from japan to me and it passed customs like no other. I also had a purchase that got shipped to their warehouse and then claimed it to be prohibited last minute so I had have them ship it to my friend in japan and then ship it again to me. It also passed custom again. They list things as prohibited when it is not. Be ware for these things to happen. If you have family/friends who live in japan (NOT APA), they can get things for you without paying the expensive fees.

  • Very limited on what I can buy

    Being that I import cars, I need to import parts and supply parts for customers. Well Buyee quite literally prohibits any car parts from being shipped. Simple things such as break pads and rotors or suspension components. Like what’s the point of telling me I can buy just about anything from Japan (according to advertisements this would technically be considered false advertising) and then say no to everything I NEED to buy. Now having to outsource and get other companies to ship since Buyee doesn’t want business or even getting my friends in Japan to go out of their way to ship parts for me. This is absurd and a HUGE inconvenience for my business.

  • Expensive shipping

    while the app it’s self is great, very user friendly and easy to navigate, please be aware that some of the prices for international shipping are EXTREMELY HIGH. i ordered a package weighing 2,420g and the CHEAPEST shipping available was $26. now, while these prices are reasonable considering it is coming from japan, you should still be aware of how expensive things can really be.

  • Easy to use and great for bulk sales/rare items

    As far as proxy buying services go, I’m relatively new. This being said Buyee was very user friendly as far as searching through and finding just what I needed. I found a great deal for a large quantity of rare toys on Japan’s Mercari website and was astounded at how fast the package came to me!

    This being said it should be noted that shipping is fairly high. It’ll get to you with little hastle but expect to pay a pretty penny getting it to you. They’ll also charge a little fee for inspection and other services (I believe it was only approx 5$ extra though). I’m planning on reselling quite a few of these items to my friends to recoup some money but honestly for an avid collector needing a proxy, I would recommend this service 100%

  • only works half the time

    Unfortunately for me the app only works about half the time I would like to use it - maybe even less. When it does work it is a bit slow but it’s easy to navigate.
  • Expensive postage prices

    Was good until they recently changed postage prices, now they 3x more than before! They have lost a lot of business from me because of this. Ok for small bits and bobs.
  • Buyee

    Buyee is a fantastic proxy service. Fees are cheaper than other trusted services. money conversion to yen is done after purchasing so bidding on yahoo is mostly stress free. Coupons come up here and there that save large sums of money. Great for buying Hatsune Miku and Touhou ぬいぐるみ ✌︎('ω')✌︎. Shipping prices are expensive, but average for Shipping to countries outside Japan, especially since they primarily offer fast options like DHL express, EMS and ECMS. You get your items in less than a week on average. Faster than buying something from Texas.

  • Bug??

    Everytime i try to log in or make an account it tells me an error occurred
  • Please fix this crazy app!

    First of all, I love Buyee and the service that this company provides is awesome, but this app is absolutely horrendous to use!!
    Here are some suggestions on improving the app.
    1. Speed: given that speed is an important factor to auctions, they need to improve the lag as much as they can.
    2. Better filtering options: would be great to have the additional filtering options that are available on their website but not on the app, such as price range. Also I would personally like it if I have the option filter out certain sellers that spam postings or certain items that buyee has already decided that we cannot buy due to low seller ratings or restrictions.
    3. “Forbidden” page bug: you know what this is if you used this app.
    4. Combined search: maybe there can be a way to search different platforms they support on buyee like yahoo auctions, mercari, and etc..

    Thanks!

  • Very Top Tier

    This app here brings you to the world of japan based sellers. Selling some hard to find items you couldn't find here in the United States because people aren't selling them, well on here they are.
