TOKYOBID is a multilanguage delegated bidding system designed for overseas Web users who are interested in Japanese products. Users can use English or Thai to search and bid for over 15 million items listed on major Japanese auctions sites. Winning bid items are opened and their contents checked, temporarily stored in TOKYOBID warehouses, and then shipped internationally according to the user’s instructions. Credit cards and Paypal are supported as payment methods.
Initially, Yahoo! Auctions (Japan) will be supported, and will be expanded to other auction services according to user demand.

Japanese domestic shipping, content checking, warehousing, packing and international shipping will be managed. All of the transactions will be handled by Japanese staff. Package professionals recognized by the Institute of Packaging Professionals Japan will handle packing. Problems commonly encountered when using delegated bidding and export agents are minimized. Also, TOKYOBID PROTECTION will provide a compensation system in case of any problems (*conditions may apply), and thus the system can be enjoyed safely.

Products and content originating in Japan are available worldwide. However, it is difficult to obtain products from Japan not available on a commercial basis. Due to the difficulty in purchasing these types of items from Japan, the fact was that many people could not get the items they wanted. In particular, the big language barrier makes it virtually impossible to sell items on Japanese auctions sites using a foreign language. During service launch, TOKYOBID will provide Thai language services as well as English, which is the main language used by Web users. TOKYOBID will continue to offer more languages and will strive to remove the language barrier.

TOKYOBID will become the infrastructure to connect Japanese “Sellers” and worldwide “Buyers” and will strive to create a system where anybody, anywhere will be able to obtain goods from Japan.

Sedo, has announced that it will host a numeric-themed domain auction featuring some of the most popular and universal numbers.

These include two-digit domains like 88.com, 40.com, 13.net, 70.com, and less generic domains such as the prestigious Manhattan zip code, 10029.com.

The auction begins on November 27th at 1:00 p.m. EST and ends on December 4th at approximately 1:00 p.m. EST.

“Numbers are the language of science and carry a lot of secondary meanings in cultures around the world —certain pairs are often associated with luck and prosperity for example,” said Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer and general counsel, Sedo. “These factors make short, two-digit domain names very valuable in any market.”

Sedo is still accepting domains for this auction event. For more information on seller criteria for Sedo’s Numeric Auction, owners of generic numeric domains can contact Sedo Broker Matthew Rosebrook at Matt.Rosebrook@sedo.com or (617-499-7238).
