To put in simply, this is an excellent site for collectors who are not particular about pricing. This is not exactly a site for bargain purchases and the many add-on costs make it quite a premium service.
Pros:
- Extremely wide selection from Yahoo Japan Auction, Mercari, Rakuten etc
- Helps remove the language barrier and convenient payment via Paypal or credit card
- Products were well packed, good condition, exactly as advertised in the photographs. Sellers were transparent on condition. Buyee even has an algorithm to highlight keywords (eg. junk, damaged etc) to warn the buyer.
- Fast delivery, got it within 1 day from Japan to Singapore using DHL
- Customer service replied within a day when I had trouble bidding for an item
Cons:
- App has a few minor bugs that require restart
-Many, many additional costs as mentioned below:
- Service fee 300yen per item
- Delivery cost from seller to buyer warehouse of 200-1000yen per item depending on the mode chosen by seller
- Insurance 300yen per item (optional)
- Inspection 200yen per item (optional)
- Photograph of item 200yen per item (optional to see condition)
- Consolidation fee 1000yen (optional for multiple purchases, to ship in 1 package instead of multiple shipments)
- Protective packaging 1000yen (optional, try to do it with consolidation as the cost is one-off regardless of item quantity)
- Delivery for 7 items was 3400yen for me via DHL, shipping separately was 700yen via Japan post.
To each his own. All in all, I was more than happy to fork out to complete my collection. I opted for all the optional costs (except photographs) and these optional costs and delivery cost amounted to almost 30-40% of my damage. Though it was all worth it to receive them within 1 day with abundant bubblewrap. Do give it a try if you are willing to spend for your collection.
