The following fees will apply on top of your final bid price for any given auction.

Bank Transfer Fee - $2
Auction payments in Japan are generally done through bank transfers, which involve a nominal fee we must pay on your behalf during the close of the auction.

This fee may apply only once if multiple auctions are won from the same seller (see Combining Auctions, below).

Shipping Inside Japan - variable
This is the cost of shipping from the seller to Celga. Since most sellers will not ship outside Japan, this is a necessary step (and, therefore, expense) on your item's journey from Yahoo Japan to you.

The amount of this fee will depend on what type of goods you have ordered -- cels usually run about $8 to $10, a single doujinshi might be $4, while trading cards might run only $2. Common-sense stuff, really. Oh, and please note that this is just a general estimate -- each auction is different. Some sellers ship insured or registered, or even COD, so rates will vary.

This fee may apply only once if multiple auctions are won from the same seller (see Combining Auctions, below).

Celga Markup - $5 and up
This is how we stay in business. We charge a flat rate of $10 per 10,000 yen increment of your item's final auction price, unless your auction ends under 1001 yen, in which case it's a mere $5. Please refer to the following table:

Up to 1,000 yen	$5
1,001 to 10,000 yen	$10
10,001 to 20,000 yen	$20
20,001 to 30,000 yen	$30
30,001 to 40,000 yen	$40
40,001 to 50,000 yen	$50

...and so on. Please note that the minimum markup fee is $5.

Now let's have a look at a couple of examples!

Shipping To You - $12 and up
Shipping from Japan is primarily done via EMS, our preferred (and very speedy) mailing service. Lightweight items such as cels are usually around $11 to $13 to ship, while heavier items will increase the price. Heavier items can also be shipped by other methods, which may increase shipping time but reduce your overall cost. When you receive your shipping invoice, we'll include the weight and price, so that you can decide whether you'd prefer a different carrier.

A handy EMS fee table can be found on the Japanese post office website:

The shipping fee may apply only once if multiple auctions are won in a short period of time (see Combining Auctions, below). We do not, however, recommend shipping fragile, light items (such as cels) together with heavier items (such as videos or model kits).

Handling and Storage Fee for Large Items
Due to the difficulties of handling and storing extremely hefty or bulky items, we may add a $10 fee for each oversize or heavy item you purchase (i.e. car parts, life-size plushies, or large framed artwork). If you are uncertain whether an item might be large or heavy enough to accrue this fee, please just drop us a line and ask! ^_^

Auction Insurance
Coming soon!

Combining Auctions
Whenever possible, if you win several auctions from the same seller on the same day, we will try to combine the orders to save you money. In situations like this, since we are able to pay the seller for all your auctions at once, we save money on things like bank transfer fees and internal shipping fees, and we pass that savings along to you!

For example, if you won three items on the same day from the same seller, you would pay only one bank transfer fee and only one fee for shipping inside Japan.

Now, please do understand that sellers on Yahoo Japan auctions expect to be paid right away after the end of the auction, so we cannot hold payment for any outstanding auctions you may have. Also understand that due to this demand for speedy payment, we may not always be able to combine auctions -- and if we have to pay a seller multiple times, we have no savings to pass along to you.

But if it happens to work out, as it usually does, it's always nice to get a price break. ^_^

Please note that this does not apply to markup fees: we must charge at least the minimum markup fee of $5.00 (USD) for every auction, even if it is won on the same day from the same seller as another auction you've won. For each auction we handle, no matter who the seller is, there is a certain amount of overhead, and we need to cover our costs to keep helping you win auctions!

Late Payment Penalties
As you can imagine, tardy payment of your invoices would make it difficult for us to stay in business, and we therefore respectfully request that you pay your balance as soon as you receive your invoice. All auction ending balances, commission or other fees which are not paid within two weeks will accrue additional charges. This late penalty is a minimum of $25 or 10% of the total owed, whichever is greater, per month that the invoice remains unpaid. This amount may be increased if the items are particularly large or bulky.

If an invoice remains either fully or partially unpaid for three months, the auction items involved will be considered abandoned, and will become the sole property of Celga, to dispose of as we see fit.

We regret having to institute late penalties, and hope that we never have to collect any!
