⚡ Breaking: Buyee Fee Hike — Effective April 1, 2026
Starting April 1, 2026, the proxy service will increase its fee from ¥300 to ¥500 for each order — a 67% increase. Meanwhile, OneMall offers ¥0 service fees with a complimentary coupon. Here’s what you should know before the price change.
If you’re a user of Buyee to get items from Japan, remember this date: on April 1, 2026 (Wednesday) at 00:00 Japan Time, the service fee per order goes up from ¥300 to ¥500. It’s a 67% increase — and it’s in addition to US tariff surcharges and elevated shipping costs that have impacted international customers over the last year.
For those who regularly get items from Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, or Rakuten through a proxy, these charges add up. But there’s some good news: not all proxy services are increasing prices. Actually, OneMall is going in the other direction.
Buyee’s Fee Increase Timeline
This isn’t the first time Buyee customers have seen rising costs. The 2025 tariff changes had already made getting items from Japan more expensive for US customers. Now, with the service fee increase, every order from Buyee will have an additional charge of ¥200 — regardless of your location.
