Re: How to buy on Yahoo Japan?

Well on the advice of a forum member I joined Auctions.yahoo.co.jp/Buyee After joining and reading various info it tells me this: "On Nov 15th, Japan Post announced that due to strikes of Canada Post, Japan Post has temporarily suspended shipping process to Canada." What a buzzkill :smt011
