1 – Finding an item<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We advise you to input your search terms in Japanese. If you don’t know them, you will have to use an online translator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper nouns: of brands or of anime (One Piece, Naruto…): entering the words in Latin characters will do, however, you will get the best results by searching for the pre-translated name. Our advice? Look it up on Wikipedia! On the item’s English page, click on “\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e” in the column on the left to get the Japanese page and then copy the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For common nouns, Google Translate will do the trick. 
You can combine both ways if your keywords have proper nouns and common nouns as wells (“Love Live figures”,”Dragon Ball cards”, “EXILE display book”…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Remove already sold listings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By default, expired listings stay visible in search results. A simple click on the \u201c\u8ca9\u58f2\u4e2d\u201d button lets you see just the listings that are still running. Conversely, the \u201c\u58f2\u308a\u5207\u308c\u201d button lets you see just ended listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Sort by item condition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose to see just the listings corresponding to a certain item condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
