If you are just digging then you are safe....now if you find something and utilize a service or if you were silly enough to get your own account then you'll definitely be finding those hidden dustballs in your wallet while trying to locate your last red cent

The only thing that keeps me safe is not having a Celga account

The problem is not really to manage the YJA account. It's the shipping. Did you notice that 99.99% of the sellers don't ship outside Japan ?

this is why you use a bidding service like celga, they get the items shipped to them in japan for a fee, and then they ship to you.

Ditto, but it looks better and better every day. If it weren't for the thread here slagging all over Celga, I'd probably be all onboard. It's either that or harrass one of the guys at work who know Japanese to manage my YAJ account.

Wait till you see what you can find using just japanese characters. BTW you don't really need to keep a list of good transactions with as your sig. We're a tight knit community here so shady people are instantly exposed. FYI

Thanks for the heads up on my sig, it's just second nature these days. I'm keeping a nice text file of unicode "translations" to search for things on that damn auction site. Way too dangerous.
