I was unsure of using the app at first because it looked a little sketchy but I tried my hand at a few auctions and they do an amazing job!! It definitely takes a moment to understand the layout and time difference for auction timings but once I understood it was simple. Hats off to Buyee staff! My items arrived quickly and in exceptional packaging and quality so I was sure they took care in handling my items. My only qualms are about some of their prohibited items. I personally don’t understand why jewelry and coins are prohibited. Otherwise I am perfectly happy with the service and care of Buyee handlers and service. Would 10/10 recommend!!!

Most people are probably better off using their browser on mobile or on a desktop if possible and I’ll explain why. Notifications you get on your phone do not default to your language but appear to be randomly selected; I believe I’ve seen Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, etc but never English. Probably 80% of the time when you click on a notification it opens and immediately crashes the app so you have no idea what the notification was for since it’s not in your language. The language translation options of Yahoo Japan auctions are only shown when you click on the more info description vs pretty much every page when accessing from your browser. Lastly, the app is extremely slow to load pages vs just accessing from a browser even on mobile. There is lots of room for improvement.

1. Buyee is using this new shipping service called “Speedex” let me tell you that this service had my package out for delivery for 3 days then I recheck my phone and I see that the package that was out for delivery was shipped to Illinois, why is my package that claimed to be out for delivery for 3 days suddenly in Illinois??? And I still haven’t gotten an update it’s genuinely lost, and I paid $200 for shipping services and you give me the worst shipping service ever, to be honest I won’t be surprised if they lose my $500 order, 2. I wasn’t aware of the shipping fees I had to pay to get the item to the storage, one of the items shipping cost was too big so I wanted to dispose it right? They made me pay $16 to CANCEL my order, would’ve been nice if I paid for it from the start or something 3. I lost a bid cause the bid system was broken, please tell me why the bid time is like two minutes behind the actual bidding time? I had lost a bid because buyer’s timing system wasn’t correct4. I bought the protective packaging that you could buy for $10 to apparently protect your packages, when my packages arrived they were torn apart and the bubble wrap was really thin and was only one layer5. I had to pay to literally see pictures of my items, there are many other jp proxies that will do this for free6. Don’t buy from buyee, there are many other jp proxies that won’t scam you out of your money

Listen, I like buyee, I want to see them do well, and they do, for the most part, but their mobile app is just embarrassing. The pages load extremely slowly, I get logged out and have to manually type my email and password nearly everytime I close the app, and frequently the app crashes.The web browser version has none of these problems (minus complaint 2, but it is much quicker to login on with a full physical keyboard and mouse than a mobile keyboard), and it’s not viable for a good mobile app. I hope they do a complete redesign in the near future, because it feels like a web browser port, than a dedicated mobile app. When it does work though, it’s really handy to have available, it follows a similar UI to the web browser version so I’m able to easily find what I’m looking for.
