With the news that the Japanese Square Enix store will not ship internationally, would you be willing to go to sites such as eBay to get items from the Japanese Square Enix store?

 

If it was something I really wanted or something exclusive to Japan, I might look into it.

I might consider that an option, but only if it was something I really *really* wanted and it's reasonably priced. Otherwise I could probably do without it, or just wait for an international release.

I use Amazon and Ebay all the time. Especially the latter.  I've gotten a lot of my Playarts from there, as well as some other hard-to-come-by-at-a-reasonable-price items. However, you just have to know how to use the site; there's a technique to shopping on Ebay. Many people don't actually research/ read about the sellers themselves, and then are surprised when they get ripped off. Why the hell would you buy something that says "used" in the description, the seller has a rep of 80% or lower, and the picture provided is only a default, and not the actual product? I only buy items from sellers with a reputation of 98% Or higher, avoid "used" items, and closely examine pictures provided. I once turned down a good deal only because I couldn't see everything in the figure's packaging.  Sure, you could say it was lighting, but I don't take chances. Also, paying attention to where the item is located is also crucial.....Some people get upset when their package/ item doesn't come within a week or less, but they don't  notice that the darn thing is located on the other side of the planet, and the description date say 5-7 weeks delivery time. In my personal experience, things come from Amazon a little faster than they do Ebay, but very rarely have I ever been disappointed with something I've received from online. Do it right, and Web Shopping is such a fun experience!! :D

I don't personally have an online payment method, but my parents do. However, it's such a bother asking them. I'd only do it if it was something I really felt I needed.

I love eBay, I've nearly got 60 stars out of it which is an achievement!

I mean if it's something that I'm really into. I got a necklace like Sora's with a crown on eBay so if it's something like that then maybe but it'd be better if there was a version of it on an English square enix store

Play-Asia & my local Anime convention are my favorite sources for Japanese imports. Next up is Amazon. I only go to eBay if I'm desperate because you have a much higher chance of getting non-authentic item.

I edited my post like riiiight as you answered haha. Orders are actually closed for Riku for some reason soooo hopefully KH2 Riku? Maybe possibly lol. 

Oh, yeah, I wasn't sure exactly what you were looking for. But, yeah, they restock every two weeks, but it might not be everything. Could be worth putting on a watch list or something.
