Nippon kara konnichiwa!  (Greetings from Japan!)  Welcome to TAIGAYA, a premier online auction intermediate.  TAIGAYA helps you bid on Japanese auction sites and purchase items from online Japanese stores.  Since many Japanese merchants require a shipping address in Japan to process sales, we provide a valuable service to those interested in buying merchandise from Japan.  Recently TAIGAYA has also become an online sellers hub as well as an offline goods purchaser, both services we believe will be embraced by our online community.

Since 2007, TAIGAYA has dedicated itself to provide customers with simple ordering procedures, minimal processing fees, and unsurpassed customer service.  Our employees take great pride in our customers' satisfaction and are confident that we are the best at what we do.  We encourage you to give us a try so you can experience for yourself why no one tops TAIGAYA.

         <title>We have changed our order process.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Thank you for your patronage.

We changed <a href="http://taigaya.com/proxy/2009/02/how_to_order_auction_and_onlin_1.html"> "How to order"</a>.

It will apply to all new orders after March.

Changes to the invoice format are as follows:
<strong>After Taigaya processes your order, you will receive a two-part invoice.</strong>

<strong>
After we receive order details from the seller, 'TAIGAYA' will send part one of the invoice containing the following information:

-----------------------------------
* Item Price
* Shipping Cost (from seller to TAIGAYA)
* Bank Fee (including currency conversion cost)
* Our Handling Fee ($7 each item)
-----------------------------------

After we receive your goods from the seller, TAIGAYA will send an invoice to you containing the shipping costs to ship from Japan to your specified location.

* shipping cost ( from TAIGAYA to you) </strong>]]></description>
