    Just wondering which brokers do you guys use when you order parts from Ratuken to Yahoo auctions Japan.

    I've been using a broker, but she is charging me crazy fees now and I don't want to buy things through them anymore.

    Thanks !!!

    I used forwarding service from www.tenso.com when I ordered parts from Rakuten.

    no, she never does, she just sends me a total amount via email, I find it shady, cause it seems like the brokerage fee costs more than the item itself ><
