How To Use Mail Order Japan

huh... yeah i did put the URL in correctly, for some reason it just didnt respond the 1st 20 times i tried placing a bid >_> it works now
This has also happened to me before, whereby I place a bid with a perfectly correct URL and it just refreshes the bid page. It's probably just some weird glitch.
i hope they fix it soon
I have a total of 3650 yen in my MOJ account.. but why does it say my bid balance is only 3920? >_>
edit: should i post questions like this in the "Ask a question, get an answer" thread?

No, questions like that are supposed to be posted here. The Ask a Question thread is for questions regarding "Beyblade - the hobby/ game", not MOJ.
okay, thanks. that just leaves the 1st part of my question to be answered

It has always been like this for me, not sure why. I always just disregard the "bid balance" number since it is always incorrect.
doesnt the bid balance affect how high you can place your bid?
according to synesthesia, i can use MOJ for rakuten.co.jp? does it work the same way it does with YJA?
I was wondering what would happen if two people using MOJ bid on the same item. Does the system still work?

You can use MOJ for any webshop, you just have to use the manual bid request form.

Pretty sure the first user to bid gets priority.
Does the commision depend on the price of the item?

Yes you are right.

'Mail Order Japan Wrote:If the final bid price is for your item is 2999 yen or less, then the base commission is 600 yen.

If the bid final bid price is 3,000 to 10,000 yen, then the base service fee is 1000 yen. For each additional 1000 yen after 10,000, there is a fee of 100 yen.

All items from 60,000 yen to 100,000 will a special fixed MOJ fee of 6000 yen and not 10,000 yen.

All items over 100,000 yen will will have an MOJ discount of 4000 yen in fees. An item that costs 150,000 yen will have an MOJ fee of 11,000 yen.
thanks for answering so quickly
I have question when your bidding if the prize rise and you dont bid again ı mean if you lose what happened to money or if you win they take money from your deposite ?

The money that you deposit is only used to set a "limit" (2X your deposit). When you win something, the winning bid is subtracted from your deposit limit. Then the MOJ and Shipping fees are taken into account and when you request a shipping invoice they give you the total balance of what you owe. If you are unable to pay within a certain time limit they take your deposit money to recover some of their loss, just make sure you have enough to pay.
I need help setting up a yahoo Japanese ID , do i need one if i have a MOJ account?
and what is the average fee for each item you buy/win

Thank you in advance
No ... the point of MOJ is so you don't need a YJA account.

Commission fee is 700Y for items < 3000Y + 300Y (Paypal fee) + Shipping to MOJ.
Commission fee is 1000Y for items ≥ 3000Y + 300Y (Paypal fee) + Shipping to MOJ.
If you're worrying about Ebay prices, you can't afford MOJ

Its true...
So is the shipping to MOJ the shipping caust of the auction or win or something else

Its the shipping cost to get the item you bought to the MOJ factory, its the shipping cost listed on the auction.
These MOJ fees are applied for every item BTW, so you pay them for every item you buy (unless you buy multiples of the same item from the same seller)
ok i registered and got the email and activated the account but when i log in it says invalid user name or password
Im going to deposit some money to bid but before i do that i have a question... does your deposits get refunded in full if you dont buy anything? I know it said something in the first post but i didnt see anything like that on the MOJ site so im just making sure... thanks
