Yahoo auctions + amazon Japan
Hi there!
I want to get some stuff that I can't find in any shops here and therefore I'd like to use especially yahoo auctions, but also amazon Japan.
I live in Japan, I already have a Yahoo ID and I've already ordered from amazon Japan, too, but I still have some questions about it and I hope that there are some people in this community who have some experience with these services and can tell me more about it.
I could find some tutorials about yahoo auctions Japan, but they were all for people that live OUTSIDE of Japan, so I'd like to hear from people who have used these services and LIVE IN Japan, of course.
For yahoo auctions:
There are various methods of paying, aren't there?! I'm totally confused right now!
・銀行振込
・ゆうちょ銀行
・商品代引
(Of course I can read most of them, but that still doesn't tell me what exactly it means and if I can use that kind of payment method or not.)
Anything else I should be aware of when bidding on yahoo auctions?
I don't want to use an agency as I live in Japan, I think it's not necessary and I want to save money, too!
I only have an ATM cash card of my Japanese bank by now and nothing else.
Should I get a credit card? I have one of course, but only for my German bank account ... I've seen there is also a way to pay via yahoo somehow, can anyone explain that to me? (http://payment.yahoo.co.jp/)
For amazon.jp:
I have some items that I want to order via the marketplace, so not via amazon directly (as they are cheaper there).
Now there's this comment:
Note: Please look at here for shipping information on marketplace items (only Japanese available). We don't offer COD or Convenience Store/ATM/Net Banking/Edy payment method for the items sold by Marketplace sellers. Marketplace transaction is safe and easy! Currently, Amazon Points can't be earned or redeemed on products purchased from sellers other than Amazon.co.jp.
So if I can't use COD (which is expensive because of the handling fee anyway ... yah I know "only" 260Yen, but anyway ..) and no ATM/Combini option, then how can I pay?? Credit Card only??? Please help / explain!
Thanks so much in advance!! Your advice will really help me out! *bows* m(_ _)m
