Rinkya Bidding Questions Part 1

What if the seller doesn't ship internationally, can I still bid?

Yep, Rinkya has all your items delivered to our warehouse in Japan and then we ship to you.

Can more than one person bid on the same item?

As many people who have interest in an item can bid on it at any time on the Rinkya system. This is called an internal bid.

What if I already have an ID on Yahoo Japan? Can I bid myself and you take care of everything afterwards?

You must have a Rinkya account to use Rinkya. With Rinkya there are NO WORRIES about placing timely or last minute bids, because with Rinkya you have your own account where you can bid yourself, REAL-TIME on Yahoo Japan. You are in control at all times.

Can I use Rinkya to bid on an auction with a buy price?

Yes! When you bid with Rinkya, it is just like bidding with your own account. To buy an auction out for the buy price, simply bid that price with your Rinkya account. Rinkya will take care of the rest of the transaction, just as for a normal auction.

How do I know if I won?

You will receive an e-mail notice as soon as the auction is over, telling you that you have won. This notice will also include the amount you must pay as well as instructions on how to pay.

How do I know if I have been outbid?

You will receive an outbid e-mail from Rinkya. However, due to the nature of the internet, e-mail may at times be late or not get through. It is always a good idea to check your auction status before the end of the auction by logging in to your account.

Do I receive any notice when I have been outbid?

Yes, Rinkya sends an outbid notice to your registered e-mail address.

How do I find out if I am the high bidder?

Use the Get Item Status page. This link is also available from the "Bid accepted" page, with the item URL already filled in for you.

What is the ID Rinkya uses on Yahoo Japan?

We change our user id from time to time, but it always includes rinkya in the name somewhere.
