Hello fam

 

Has anyone bought anything on eBay from Japan? I love old Ibanez Roadstars and there are loads on there. I’m just scared to pull the trigger. 
Cheers!

Yep, I fancy one of them, would be interested to learn more. I played roadstar in early 90s . I remember how thick the neck was, almost like the Steve Harris Royal blue p bass. Steve played during number of the beast era , I think.

I’ve seen some really nice jazzes on there but never bought any, I think you still have to pay customs on top , one I was looking at had this in the description

I generally buy my camera film from Japan via eBay, I’ve bought a couple of posters too.


Items generally arrive within a few days. Obviously those purchases don’t attract VAT or customs charges, which might affect the how long it takes to arrive.

I don't know about Japan but I have bought many items from China with no problems. I started with things that I wouldn't be too bothered about if they didn't come and gradually as I grew more confident bought more expensive items. If China is ok, I would imagine Japan would be better. At the end of the day it's down to the individual sellers decency. Pay pal has protection too.
