The Buyee Buying Guide

Everything a Malaysian collector needs — from account setup to receiving your cards. About 10 minutes to read, saves you weeks of guesswork.

Step-by-step

Follow these 7 steps. The first order takes longest; later orders are 2 minutes.

Create your Buyee account

Go to buyee.jp, sign up with your email. Verify your email, set Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) as your display currency, and add your Malaysia shipping address.

Search for the product

Use Japanese keywords for best results — copy the title from our Latest Packs page. Buyee covers Yahoo! Auctions, Mercari, Rakuten, Amazon Japan, and individual hobby shops.

Place the order

For BUY-IT-NOW items, click "Buy Now". For auctions, click "Bid". Buyee buys the item from the Japanese seller on your behalf.

Wait for arrival at Buyee warehouse

Seller ships domestically in Japan to Buyee's warehouse — usually 3–7 days. You'll get a notification when it arrives.

Request international shipping

Choose your shipping method. Recommended options for Malaysia:

DHL — fastest (3–5 days), insured, best for high-value boxes.
EMS — fast (5–10 days), reliable.
SAL/Small Packet — cheapest, slower (2–4 weeks), limited insurance.

Pay shipping & customs prep

Pay the international shipping invoice. Malaysian customs may apply SST (Sales & Service Tax) at ~10% on declared value above RM500. DHL will usually handle clearance for you.

Receive your cards

Track via the carrier link Buyee provides. Unbox carefully — Japanese sealed products often arrive in better condition than local stock.

Fees breakdown

Understand exactly what you'll pay so there are no surprises.
