1. Search for Items

Enter the name of an item you want, the URL to an item on Yahoo! Japan Auctions or the Auction ID itself and click the 'Search' button to look for items.

2. Choose your Payment Method

We have two main payment methods, you can choose from your account page.

a) You can pay for won auctions using credit or debit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express). In this case you don't need to make any deposit to your balance, we don't charge your card for making bids, so you won't be charged anything until the auction is actually won.

b) You can use your Remambo Deposit sum for making bids at auctions. You can add funds to your personal account by PayPal, credit/debit cards, TransferWise or Bank Wire Transfer.

4. Auction is won

After you win an auction you should pay for it a full winning price plus our service fee immediately. If you have enough money in your Deposit purse, auction will be paid automatically from your deposit. If your deposit is not enough, you should make payment from your PayPal account or by credit card.

Once the auction has been won, we contact the seller about the delivery of goods to our Japanese warehouse.
