Starting an online proxy from Japan

[parachutes]

Service
I will take orders on practically anything: clothes, magazine, CD/DVD, video games, toys...etc. Although I'm limiting to online/phone sales for the most part, I could do a better search for stores that are outside of rakuten and such as I'm a genuine Japanese = may turn up some rare/cheap finds. I can also do yahoo auctions, let me know your highest bid in your requests for these. I will also do on foot pick ups for orders over 30000yen retail.

Places where I buy from
- rakuten, yahoo auctions, zozo
- local books/electronics store
- websites of brands and boutiques

Payment&Fees
I can take paypal or moneybookers. I can accept credit card payments as well! Fees are as follows
Paypal: 14%fee
(item cost + domestic shipping) X 1.14 + international shipping
Moneybookers 12%fee
(item cost + domestic shipping) X 1.12 + international shipping

The fees include my comission and that incurred for me to recieve the payment. Most orders from rakuten have free domestic shipping, and I don't charge bank transfer fees. I would personally prefer Moneyboookers over Paypal as they deposit funds in to my bank the next day.
I use EMS for outbound shipping which includes insurance and tracking. PLEASE SEND PAYMENTS IN YEN.

Rules
1. I will need to recieve the payment prior to ordering(with the exception of yahoo auctions). Sorry, but I have been burned a few times in the past.
2. I will not be resposible for any items that are lost while in transit.
3. Check the exchange rates at www.xe.com, but keep in mind that paypal takes 2.5% spread so the actual rate will be a bit lower.
4. Generally I can't accept returns once the item gets to you, as by the time it gets back to me it would be well over the return deadline for most stores. If you are unsure of the sizing, ask me prior to your orders or remind me to do some measurements once I recieve the item.


Contact
If you are interested in anything, send me a message at [email protected] with the title including the name and size of your item. DO NOT post or use PM.

Sounds great. I've been burned by slow response from another proxy service before (rakuten item sold out) so I'll hit you up next time I see something.

Can you PM/reply a quote on S5000VX and SD-103?

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just used this proxy service to great success. I received a few pieces from Nalu is less than a week, and it was so easy. Sent money via Paypal and a few emails later, I had a tracking number and something to look forward to. I will definitely go this route again in the future.
