User Reviews

Buyee helps buyers access exclusive Japanese merchandise with relatively low fees, appealing to collectors. Yet users repeatedly report serious login/account issues, PayPal problems, and high shipping costs that add up. The mobile app is slow and frequently buggy, and some customers worry about refunds and cancellations. Overall, it can work well for some, but reliability and cost concerns are common across reviews.

Pros

Access to exclusive Japanese merchandise and the Japanese market for collectors.
Lower fees compared to other proxy services.
English-speaking users can navigate Japanese sites and access deals.

Cons

Frequent login/account access issues (cannot login, sign-in errors, being logged out).
Very high shipping costs and tariffs; additional consolidation fees can inflate prices.
App performance issues: slow, buggy, frequent updates degrade user experience (including 403 errors).
PayPal login/payment integration problems (PayPal registration/issues).
Refunds and order management concerns (disposed items, no refunds, difficult cancellations).

Recent reviews

Great inventory, reasonably functional site, reasonable merchandise transparency, and provide a necessary proxy service. Issues are around inconsistency in actual inventory availability across some sites vs. Buyee sites (SNKRDUNK is particularly out of date on Buyee), and the shipping fees. Customs duties are levied, whether they apply or not and there is no refund or recourse to recover them. You need to assume a flat overhead percentage added to the item pricing, that will depend on the country you are shipping to. This is not clear anywhere on their site, nor in the ads or auctions, or in their email responses. I had another person look at it with me to verify, and there is complete inconsistency in verbiage, fees, communications, etc.

I just recently found this app and used it right away. The idea is amazing, but fully learn how to use it before you order. If you are ordering multiple items from the same place, you may have to add it to your cart, then reopen store from the drop menu (you know the way we had to do it over 20yrs ago) then you’ll only be charged one service fee instead of multiple. Wait until all of your things are at the warehouse before you choose shipping, so you can consolidate your shipping. Once you pay for shipping they cannot change anything. Do this things and you hopefully won’t have to pay double fees for everything like I did.
