How the remittance fee works
- Mercari, PayPay Flea Market, Rakuma and Yahoo Auctions items each come from a different seller, so each item is paid separately.
- Shopping malls such as Rakuten, Amazon and Yahoo Shopping: items bought together from the same shop are paid in one transfer. Different shops are counted separately.
- The remittance amount is the item price plus Japan domestic shipping paid to the seller. Cash-on-delivery shipping is not sent to the seller, so it is excluded.
