    • Are you located in or outside of Japan? I believe Rakuten Auctions (楽天オークション) does not support delivery to foreign countries.

    • Guessing from your IP location in Vietnam, you are located outside of Japan. In theory it’s possible to sell goods from overseas through the Japanese Rakuten. But consider that 1) you need a company registered in Japan 2) everything is in Japanese. So perhaps a better bet is to find an associate or agent company that will setup the business for you.

      Hope that explains a bit, just let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

    • Sure. Many Rakuten sellers have their own physical stores but because the site wants you to order online; it’s not really something they support.

      • Thanks for the prompt reply, but I’m still in the dark because I clicked on the two links you provided and they brought me back to this very page. I’m looking for an air mattress and saw a number of them on Rakuten and thought it’d be easy for me to just drop by one of their outlets and pick one up. It looks like I’m going to have to order online, something I hesitate to do because of the possibility of credit card fraud. “Once bitten, twice shy” and all that. Thanks anyway.

          Bank Transfer (銀行振込)
          Cash on Delivery (代金引換)

          You can also use your credit card for COD.

  2. Hello, I recently tried to buy a pair of pants on the Japanese site and after I entered my country as Canada and all my shipping information, I’m seeing another page for my adress info but it’s only Japan… This was confusing for me. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong? Any information you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
