That is super stunning - good luck Anon!

My advice for auctions, be it ebay or whatever, is to wait until 5 minutes before the auctions ends, then watch it carefully and place your MAXIMUM bid anywhere from 30-5 seconds before the end of the auction if it doesn't go too high in the last five minutes.

If you bid too early, not only does it tip off other people that you are interested in the auction (the number of bidders will show as having gone up)
but also your autobid will battle it out with someone else's autobid too early and push the price up higher. They won't increase their max bid if they feel secure that they have the item and so you can usually outbid them at the last second.

Having said that, I don't know what the processing time is on fromjapan, because with ebay it's instant, so you might want to test that on a few minor auctions (socks or accessories) that won't cost you too much if you win. If you place a bid and it is too late, try placing your final bid a little earlier until you find out the window that works for you.

Best of luck!

Thanks Anon! :D I think I could make something like this work.
Would it be too OTT to work in florals through accessories and stuff though? I like rococco silhouettes and if I went for a block coloured dress I feel I could work in my favourite patterns (stripes and florals) in accessories if I could match the colours well enough.

Pic related, I'm looking at things like these in parasols in a light green colourway (the stripes are much lighter). There's also a matching purse.
