[ Maximum Bid Value ][ Desired Quantity ][ Plan ][ Delivery ][ Coupon ][ Payment Method ].“Current Price” will not be displayed for LuxeWholesale items.

What is a “Buyout Price”?
The Buyout Price is the price to purchase the item immediately, as set by the seller.
The Buyout Price is only displayed if the seller has set a price on the auction listing. If you pay the buyout price, you will win the item immediately.
What are “successful bid conditions”?
Displayed when 2 or more items are listed.
If you want to be sure to bid on the desired number of items, specify `”Do not bid unless you have the desired number of items.”
If you want to make a successful bid even if the desired quantity is not available, specify `”I will make a successful bid for some quantity.”
What is “automatic bidding”?
Automatic bidding is a mechanism that automatically bids between the current price and the maximum price when you enter the upper limit of your budget (maximum bid amount).
Bid within your budget. If someone else makes a bid, automatic bidding will be activated and the bid will be automatically rebid up to the maximum amount.
Until your bid reaches the other person’s highest bid, automatic bidding for you and the other person will continue, and the highest bid will be updated.
Also, if no one bids, you can win at the lowest starting price.
About delivery
You can choose between “Standard Shipping” and “Ship Directly” when bidding.
Standard Shipping

Ship Directly
Items that are available for Ship Directly are mentioned on the item page.
All amount including international shipping fee are required to be paid in advance. Since we will ship the item soon after it arrives at our warehouse, you are not required to make a shipping order to us.

Also, once you bid with “Ship Directly”, the “Standard Delivery” option cannot be selected when you place bids for the same item.

What is a Second-price Auction?
In the “First Price Auction,” the winning bidder’s bid is highest one and this amount is the one to be paid. In the “Second Price Auction,” the bidder with the highest bid wins the auction, but the amount to be paid is the second highest bid plus a specified bidding range.
Example: If the bidding range for an item sold for 200,000 yen is 1,000 yen
If the highest bid at the time of the auction is 200,000 yen and the second highest bid is 100,000 yen, the amount paid by the successful bidder will be 101,000 yen.
