So, I don't know if you'll be interested, but I have a running deposit with FJ right now, and I can bid on your items for you and get FJ to send them directly to you? Only if you're comfortable, that is. :) /misuses her credit card like mad ^____^

Alternatively, I don't know whether it works in your country but can you purchase a prepaid/reloadable credit card? We had some event that I managed to procure a free one and it's been vastly handy (until it expired). xD

Is that possible, for them to be shipped directly to me? If so, I'm interested :)
These are the items I'm eyeing. All of them from the same seller, and all of them have around 20 hours left.

I saw that prepaid cards are quite the common thing in the States, but they're almost unheard of in my country ): Banks only offer them if you have an account with them...

Ah,

threadjacking, I know, but.

Since the listing says it's R18, FJ won't purchase that. Or, well. Supposedly they'll purchase it, but not ship or refund.

o_o That sucks, specially because...I have that doujinshi in an anthology, and it's perfectly PG-13 xD It's not even labeled as R18 in the cover. Seller failure >.

Ugh. Right?

I have some labeled R18 that have no questionable content. Then I have some with no warnings at all that include sex. There's like... No real telling whether some books will make it through FJ or not D:

I guess it's always possible to email them, but they'll still probably refuse because of the listing. .__.

Yeah, they may still refuse. And I'm bringing the other two basically to make shipping worth, so it's not really a problem to change one of them.

And yeaaah, I know of some doujins with no warning that do indeed include sex. I wonder if FJ checks the content? >>

Hmm, I have had no problems with all my doujinshi coming through FJ, and I've had a bunch of R18 doujins. :| I can always ~try~ if you'd like, but I won't do so unless you specifically tell me you want me to. :) I'll just bid on the new list you gave me!

Also - re:prepaid credit card: I actually got my prepaid credit card in Singapore! But I also have a proper credit card so I don't use it much since I rather use the other one. ^_^; You could always try looking around?

The "no R18" policy's a relatively new one...it's been around only since April or so. I guess there might be cases when it's ignored, but I prefer to avoid the risk ^^' So yeah, the second list is fine to me!

I'll look more into it, thanks for the advice :)

Ah alright - April. :) I haven't bought doujinshi since... October last year? HAHAHA. Maybe that's why - I generally use FJ for a lot of other things now. :) I hope everything works out with your new list!

sheraccoon June 3 2011, 21:35:55 UTC
Well I've bidded for you. We'll see how it goes. :) I also just noticed that FJ now has a popup that basically says "make sure there's no adult goods". I haven't used them for doujinshi for a while so I don't know how it'll goes. But I'll keep you updated! :)

kasumicc June 3 2011, 21:55:52 UTC
I made sure this list doesn't have any R18 warning, so I guess it'll be fine ^^
Thank you SO much!!!!!

No worries about it! :) I remember the times when I had no credit card either. xD;

I was also looking at other services - and japonicamarket.com has a pretty sweet deal if you buy items from the same seller. They're probably better for pricier items, but just putting this out in case the discounted commission becomes useful in the future! :)

kasumicc June 3 2011, 22:43:40 UTC
You're right, it's a very good deal o.o I'll keep it in mind for a next time!!!

Hello! I won all 3 of your doujins. :) Just paid FJ for them. So far it's 315+315+105 = 735yen. FJ's 2nd invoice will include domestic shipping and international shipping. If you want to add anything let me know, or if you'd just like me to put a shipping request in, let me know too. If so, do PM me your address so I can pay accordingly. :)

kasumicc June 6 2011, 15:24:40 UTC
Great ^^ Should I pay you the 1st invoice now, or everything at once?
Also, do you think you could include this product? >> It has a "buy now" price, so you could go for that one...
I'll be PMing you soon!
