## Review summary

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).
