iStore is PhotoGuide Japan's e-commerce gateway. We specialize in proxy bidding at Yahoo Japan Auctions. Since sellers at Yahoo Japan Auctions do not usually sell and ship to customers outside Japan, we bid and ship stuff to you. See ProxyShop for details. We are especially knowledgeable about vintage Japanese photo books and postcards.

What's What at iStore

On the left, there are a few menu boxes:

ProxyShop has links to our proxy bidding and shopping service. We can bid on auctions in Japan for you or buy stuff from other online shops in Japan for you. Yahoo Jaoan Auctions (Japan's largest online auction site since there is no eBay in Japan) and Amazon Japan are our main suppliers. Learn more...

Help provides how-to articles, and the FYI (For Your Information) box has more information about our system and policies. You can also learn how to support us.

iStore no longer has a product catalog so the shopping cart system is not functional. Everything you buy from us is on a request basis.

For your convenience, we also provide Amazon search boxes to shop at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.jp (Japan). See more Amazon search boxes here. (We receive a commission from Amazon if you use our search box and buy something.)
