A lot of figure/anime merch collectors don't like eBay because it's flooded with knock-offs and bootlegs, but if you look hard enough, you will come across treasures at great deals too! Just recently I found a seller for a authentic limited edition Miku wall scroll back from the 2014 Miku Expo, I've been hunting for years, and they sold it with a lot of other scrolls for cheap. Nice find! Ebay can be iffy, but when you find good stuff, you find GOOD stuff :)

[@aivi.10n]

That is so true ! It takes a bit of effort but every now and then a hidden gem appears ~

[@SimpleNendo]

Miku looks amazing! It is always a risk to buy from ebay

[@aivi.10n]

So excited to finally have her in my collection ! It really is >.< I always make sure to scrutinize the photos to make sure what I'm buying is authentic ~

I tried Ebay twice and had great experience. In both cases I chose Japanese sellers with 99%+ feedbacks. The only dropback is that it is severely overpriced as expected from aftermarket, especially for brand-new, unopened figures. I might turn to Ebay again at some point if I can't find Myethos' Queen of Heart and Alice elsewhere...

[@aivi.10n]

Yay for positive experiences ~ I noticed the Japanese sellers tend to be on the over priced side . Often times I can find the same photo & item they listed on a Japanese site for much less . Even with proxy fees it still comes out cheaper than ebay but it is a bit more of a hassle haha 🥲 I hope you’ll be able to find them !!

[@sierra002hg2]

How much are customs duties or does the US not pay that for eBay?

Congrats on your grail! And coming securely from EBay no less. Thank you for your tips, all 7 were really valid - the photo ones and especially #7 really hit home with me - recently I was trying to pre order the Katsushika Hokusai from Plat! with a reputable seller (on paper) but he was not responding readily; my vibes and gut feelings were not positive. Then he started raising the price than the advertised fee.. so I decided to retract my interest. Where I am however it’s mostly middle man and collector. Luckily tho all of my deals so far have been successful.

[@aivi.10n]

Thank you~🥳 When sellers take a long time to respond, that's a red flag for me . I would rather take my money elsewhere than set myself up for potential disappointment T_T . I hope you were able to pre-order Hokusai from another seller instead ! Phat's Hokusai figure is so beautiful ~

[@WayneLLC]

@@aivi.10n Thank you! It been challenging to secure a proper preorder for her but I am willing to wait if they open up more units at release, even if at a higher price :) Probably good for me to wait too to see if there may be any major QA issue. Happy Collecting!

[@aivi.10n]

@@WayneLLC Definitely not a bad idea ! Hope you’ll be able to add her to your collection 😊

Hii so I have a question I wanna buy a rare Black Butler figure from Ebay from a personal seller not a company a private person. So I'm wondering is Ebay safe to buy from I don't want to get scammed. Also The seller is from Kansas,USA There is no return policy or refund. And you can't track the item you're buying so I'm skeptical. But the seller has many great reviews. I wanted to try and negoiate on the price also because 400 dollars is really expensive but it's the cheapest I could find for a medicom real Action Hero figure. Other prices on ebay are like 700 dollar😭😭 900 dollar😭😭

[@razinski821224]

Good things comes to those who wait.....well maybe situation. haha

[@aivi.10n]

Yesss ~ Patience is a virtue afterall 😄

[@fallinguplookingdown]

i bought 2 figs from ebay recently from japan and its not actually that bad

[@aivi.10n]

Glad your experience was positive ! That’s really good to know ~ I got hesitant when I saw reviews of orders being canceled >_> I may give it a try one day ~

[@melonyan524]

I got almost all of my figures secondhand from ebay or ebay kleinanzeigen so that is a totally normal thing for me personally lol

[@aivi.10n]

Nice ! After scoring this Miku nendoroid I think I’ll have to check eBay a little more often 🤔 ~

[@melonyan524]

@aivi.10n a boring slice of life. You should def do that! I got sooo good deals in the past, ofc you always have to be careful about bootlegs but nonetheless with a bit of patience you can find great figures for good prices

[@aivi.10n]

@@melonyan524 Now I’m kind of excited hahaha I can’t wait to see what treasures I can find ~
