I wouldn’t say it’s dead, but it’s definitely on the decline. Having more items from Japan in the international market could make eBay more interesting again for some people, but I doubt that the impact will be very big.

this is not going to work.. japanese sellers do not want or need to do business with non-japanese and are going to be unwilling anyway. if the business is large enough that they need to be selling overseas, they can establish an overseas branch.

this is going to fail like ebay already did in japan

actualy Ebay is dead in Europe. to many tax and brandmark atacks. to many scamers and way to much hackers lurking there.
so does every company have own webside. even polish china fake sellers. i dont see good future for this company in Japan.

There has always been quite a few Japanese and Hong Kong sellers making items available to the US through e-bay.

i think its unfair they charge users for it to be translated, i think the translation must be a free service that should be available all the time. maybe for business they have to do it..

eBay already failed once in Japan. doubt this will do any better to be honest.
