/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Is there a master list somewhere of reliable ebay stores to buy Korean and Japanese cosmetics from?

>>9309923
There is! Asian Beauty on Reddit has a ton of info, from the location of the store to how shipping is calculated, on non-eBay stores too. I highly recommend checking it out.
I don't think /cgl/ has bothered to make one, though.

Anybody have favorite shop suggestions? (Jfash, cute stuff, etc)
Been trying to look for stores with cute finds that don't soak up hours of me scrolling through searches.

>>9310711
Seconding this. I wish eBay was more like Ali in that respect, it gets irritating having to scroll through so much random crap.

>>9310711
>>9312127
Here's a few of my saved sellers, mostly random cute stuff. Last one is wigs.

Has anyone found that "Who Ate My Bread" Tshirt on ebay?

Can anyone recommend any stores that sell cute beads for decora or sweet lolita for cheap?

Does anyone know where I can find pic related, that's responsibly priced?

I've searched eBay (and Aliexpress) using the search terms "pearl chain craft" and "rosary chain". The former doesn't bring up what I'm looking for. Whilst the latter displays a bunch of gold plated, precious magic Jesus stones, or w/e. Which isn't what I'm looking for as they're ridiculously priced. I just want something cheap to shove on some accessories I'm making.

>>9314542
You make them with pic related and beads. You bend the pins with pliers.

>>9314542

You should honestly make them yourself. They're pretty easy to make.

>>9309923
beautynetkorea is pretty good; they have a lot of products and they throw in free samples with your order. My package from them came in a box and everything was bubblewrapped and secure.

>>9309922
Anybody knows where to find kawaii-esq bags ? I'm looking for some gothic shits but the bags i find on ebay are like 90 bucks

>>9314556
>>9314581
I thought that might be the case. I must admit, I was just being lazy and looking to save some time. Thanks for the help, anons!

>buy an item on November 15th
>It's from a trusted seller
>It still hasn't arrived as of January 11th
>Start a dispute
>ebay wants me to wait until January 18th

>mfw it was a christmas gift

>>9315583
I had an order from october arrive last week, so much for that.

>>9315583
>>9315591

Speaking of this. I ordered something from a seller early November, and the shipping said it'd arrive latest first week January. The tracking never worked from day 1, so I emailed the seller. They said the package was lost in transit, and they offered a refund or another attempt at sending the item.

So, they said they'd contact me with a new tracking # once it ships. But just in case shit goes south, do you guys think I'd be still able to open an eBay dispute even past the date? I kept all the emails and such, I'm just worried they said they'd send me another one just so they can prevent me from reporting them..

Anyone here purchase a pokemon trainer cap they can rep for? Preferably us or north American sellers since I need it by the end of the month

I'm putting together a generic pokemon trainer costume so the actual design doesn't matter too much as long as it's clearly pokemon

Can anyone vouch for a store selling these? Don't know why there's such a price range.

>tfw I contact tora-books because the deadline is approaching, I want to pay for my items but I haven't received the combined shipping invoice yet
>tfw no answer and I get a message about a dispute 2 days later

I'M TRYING TO PAY FOR YOUR ITEMS YOU DUMB FUCK

>>9315624
You should contact eBay before the deadline to let them know about the situation, and ask for advice.

>>9314586
Seconding this, and idk if I'm just lucky but their stuff tends to arrive in Sweden within 2 weeks.

>>9316183
>tora-books
That's a shame. I've always had good luck with them.

>>9312134
Thank you anon!

>>9316183
That seller randomly banned me from their shop a couple of years ago despite me always paying for stuff straight away.
Another strange experience I had with them was I received a figure that stunk of weed, I'm used to Japanese second hand stuff occasionally smelling like cigarette smoke but not weed. Everything else I'd bought from them was in great condition so I think I was just unlucky.

>>9316327
Yeah, I've been buying from them for a while now and everything always went well. I guess I'll try to send another message and if I don't get any answers I'll contact eBay.

How long should I wait until I file for an unpaid item case? Tried to contact the buyer already and no response.

>boyfriend recently admitted to me he enjoys anime
>he's never said anything about this before and seems very shy about it

>cue me bidding on every Kuroko no Basket ebay auction in hopes of winning something to encourage him

Please pray for me Gulls

>>9316415
If you got no response then file.

>>9316429
You go, anon!

>>9316429
You need to cosplay as Kuroko and take his light up your shadow.

>>9316429
>>boyfriend recently admitted to me he enjoys anime
>>he's never said anything about this before and seems very shy about it

I'll never understand why people feel ashamed of anime. As long as youre not running like a ninja or saying nya, who would actually care?

>>9316429
You're living the dream, anon. Good luck!

>>9316447
My boyfriend was really shy when he told me he likes watching Shoujo because he's a big gym nut 'bro' kind of guy

>>9316607
I spend all my time at the gym
Mostly because Im a friendless loser who only finds pleasure in comfy self betterment
I would never tell a soul of my Animu addiction. Its hard enough pretending to be a chad

>>9316629
I was personally really happy when I found out what my bf likes because now I can act out my cheesy anime love dreams

>>9316208
Solid advice. Thanks famalam

I have a $20 off voucher for if I spend over $100, does anyone know any cute summer clothing/sock stores that isn't just the bulk taobao stuff that you scroll through 300 different listings of?
and preferable ones that ship to aus.

>>9316987
>>9310711
Adding to the good stores for harajuku/anime stuff is http://www.ebay.com/usr/wangrea
I've bought heaps of stuff off them, they have taobao stuff but at noticeably cheaper prices and stuff that other stores don't stock.

How to know for sure if a wig will be the quality etc. they describe it as? First time buying a wig on ebay. The seller says it ships from the UK and is kanekalon, and has 99,2% positive feedback.

>>9317156
Stolen pictures are really common amongst wig sellers so you can't really tell from those, but a good rating and a pretty typical prize for that length and style are a good signs.

You can try googling something like "[shop name] wig review" to see if you can find someone who's bought one before too, people have shit opinions a lot of the time but it might give you an idea of the wig's quality and such.

So my husband ordered the digimon 02 Daisuke figure, which at the time was set to come out in january, and is now pushed back till the end of february. He ordered it at the end of october .How long does ebay give me to complain on a seller? Just in case they try to dupe me. Ever since I was the push back on the release day I've been worried. and as much as I want the figure, the price and wait time is a bit too high

>>9317708
Rule one of figure buying. Never. Preorder. On eBay. And if buying second hand, be very cautious. Just don't. They are either scalpers or on worst cases; bootlegs. Always go to the distributor (premium Bandai or other notable sites) and order from there.

>>9317448
Also don't forget feedbackselector, saves hours of wading through irrelevant reviews.

>>9315583
>ebay making you wait 2 months to open a dispute
?? That doesn't sound right. I feel like after a month you should be able to take action. Or can you only take action once the last "estimated arrival date" passes? Have you contacted the seller about your missing item?

>>9316415
>sell some drugstore lip products (all brand new, completely sealed) for $1 + shipping
>wait 3 days
>send invoice to buyer
>wait another 3 days
>open case
>3 more days about to pass
>no response
>mfw at this point I'm doing it just to be an ass
If you bid on something, that means you want it and are willing to pay for it. If you change your mind then it's your responsibility to contact the seller and let them know; don't ignore messages and risk tarnishing your eBay reputation.

I think ebay's standard policy is to wait 48 hours before taking action. Because it's such an expensive sale, I'd send an invoice to the buyer and tell them to contact you if they need additional time to pay. If a few days go by and no response, open a case.

>>9317744
If you aren't stupid you can generally tell what's a bootleg on eBay.

>>9316447
>I'll never understand why people feel ashamed of anime
Speaking as a 'Murican living in a state that's always behind, it's just not ~trendy~ yet. I knew a lot of people in undergrad that were obsessed with Star Wars and Marvel/DC comics. Those people instantly made friends and had all the coolest~ gear because what they like is liked by everyone else. I love anime and will talk about it with anyone that brings it up; however, I don't want it announced to the entire world.

>be in graduate health program now
>one professor makes us fill out surveys about ourselves before coming to class
>question asks what books I like to read
>think to self, "well, if comic books are still considered cool, I'll have no problem saying I like reading manga!"
>write down that I like reading mangas and explain that they're just comics from Japan
>1st day of class
>professor is reading some of her favorite responses
>mfw thinking I'd have to explain what JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is to a bunch of normies and reveal my power level on day 1
Luckily I wasn't called on. I've worn my weeb shit to class (which looks more like just a graphic tee to the normal person) and only got asked once what it meant. Sage because this has nothing to do with ebay.

>>9320262
Did I miss comics being trend of the week? Because it's still deeply nerdy here unless it's movie-verse stuff, Spider-Man, Batman or some especially edgy stuff like certain Punisher runs.

>>9320250
The guy only had like a feedback score of 4 so he didn't have much of a reputation to tarnish. I tried to be patient and give him the benefit of a doubt because he might have just been new to the whole ebay thing. Already sent an invoice. Filed an unpaid item case a few days ago that I should be able to close by tonight so I can relist the item. Still zero messages from him. Lel.

Have any of you guys bought any reasonably priced lace front wigs on Ebay? I'm trying to find one that's dark and on the shorter side but most of the stores I used to buy from have disappeared and I can't seem to find any search words that give me anything but weaves.

>>9320340
>Spider-Man, Batman or some especially edgy stuff like certain Punisher runs.
That's what I was referring to. I guess I was a bit assumptive in grouping movie-verse comics with comics that simply originated in America. Someone wearing a Deadpool shirt would definitely get a high five over someone reading a Tintin comic.

>>9320362
It was nice to give him a few days but maybe this will be a good learning experience for him. Do what you gotta do to make that sale.

Does anything even happen to buyers who don't pay nor respond to cases? I've never been that person to not pay so idk what the consequences are. I just assumed they'd get some emails, maybe get a warning next time they log in, etc.

>>9320250
Reminds me of when I won an auction from a kpop weeb in Alaska, of all places.

>only one to bid
>get it for $0.99 + free shipping
>pay it
>seller messages me "Hey I got the $0.85 but I'm still waiting for you to pay the rest."
>mfw this seller doesn't realize fees are a thing and thinks I magically sent her part of the payment
>have to baby this baby and tell her about fees
>"Oh.. ok..."
>she ships the item, no tracking or anything
>get a crumpled plain envelope in the mail
>keychain is broken inside
>decide to just let it be and don't leave any feedback at all

>>9316447
In my personal experience, friends and myself that were ashamed to admit it mainly felt that way because the majority of others we met who were into it were really socially awkward. And not in a shy way either. So it was less shame of the media and more of shame in regards to possibly being lumped in with a ton of autists.

so I just won and auction and went to pay and it said "seller cannot accept payments at this time, contact them for help"
what am I suppose to do other than wait for the seller to msg me back?

>watching auction for pic related for entire week
>spend minutes just looking at it daily to see if anyone has bid on it
>10 minutes left and only up to $5.50
>bid $25 with 1:30 left
>slowly increasing
>$30 with seconds remaining
>panicking
>increase bid to $37
>ourbid by $1 with a second to spare
>mfw

Really I'm just mad about all the time I wasted on it. I'm sure he'll pop up again - I just have to wait a bit longer.

>>9320932
Are they away? Or perhaps they just haven't set up PayPal yet. I'd wait a day or two before getting ebay involved.

Lost my bookmarks and I'm in need of some new cheap false lashes, any sellers/items you guys recommend?

>tfw trying to save money for big cosplay haul but $0.99 Kamen Rider figs
I couldn't pass up $9 shipped for the bunch.

>>9321040
That's harsh, anon. I hope you find one for half that price. I can toss you a list of my favorite secondhand sellers if you want?

>order something with free shipping
>item arrives fast, it's good quality, really pleased
>leave 5 star feedback
>later return to the same listing to buy another one
>"seller has updated this listing"
>"does not ship to your country"
>not sure what to feel

>>9314876
ID on the bunny bag!

>>9321256
Thanks for the offer, anon! Do Danganronpa figures ever get listed as "Anime Figure #x" like I've seen some secondhand sellers do? I'm following every variant of a title I can think of for a figure and get updates when something new gets listed.

>I hope you find one for half that price
I think I could've gotten it for less than my original max bid had I waited a tad longer. But yeah, almost $40 for a 3 inch figure is a bit out of budget right now.

>>9321326
Anon just buy this one off yahoo japan, it's 600 yen.

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b243146777

I searched 清多夏 ダンガンロンパ and a bunch of cute stuff came up so, go nuts.

>>9321326
Some of the best deals you can get are off of sellers who mark everything "unknown anime" or any variation of that.

I've got too many sellers to link to each one but here's a pic of the names.

Marked out unrelated shops.

>>9321355
Anon, you beautiful creature. I have no clue how to use Yahoo! Japan though. Do I need to use a shipping service like Taobao or just pay international shipping like I would on ebay?

>>9321371
I remember looking through a second-hand seller's shop once and saw a lot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure figures for super cheap. There was also a random figure of 2 beatles on a leaf...anyway, thanks for the list! If I can't figure out the auction on Y! Japan I'll check these guys out!

>>9321470
You can actually click the big link at the top that looks like this and you can use yahoo japan's official buying service.

>>9321526
Neat! So I read through everything and I think I get it now. Is it worth it getting the Standard Plan with insured delivery and inspection? It looks like you can't really do anything if the product goes missing or arrives damaged if you don't get it.

>>9321549
It's the same as the insured plan currently, so it's just the best plan to get.

You'll pay a 5% fee and then the plan fee. Once they have the item they bill you again for domestic and international shipping. If you have the dosh for it then it's more money-savvy to purchase a few things at once for the combined shipping.

I have only used Buyee once before so sadly I can't answer more questions in depth but maybe someone else can in the shopping service thread.

>>9321582
Thanks for your input though! I normally shop on ebay so shipping services are completely new to me. I'll look around and see if there's anything else that catches my eye!

>>9316242
I'm in the US and my order arrived within 2 weeks as well

>>9320932
update: seller msged me back and said they don't know why they can't take money right now either and to wait a few days.
If I cancel the item what happens to my account? I've never had to cancel and auction win before but waiting to pay for a wig for a week while the seller jacks off is kinda stupid.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/122264405656?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=422711089450&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It was n the Ali thread but I found it on eBay as well! Just in time for Spring!!

Update from the person who couldn't pay cause of seller's paypal being locked:
Called ebay and they said I had to wait for the seller to cancel the item or if they filed an unpaid item case that ebay will remove it when done from my account.
Welp seller msgs me back tonight 2 days after I asked to cancel the item since it's their fault I can't pay. "cancel please confirm" is their msg, and then got a email from ebay saying they opened a case on me! Ugh so fucking mad at this seller, don't buy from wangcaifuyu2018

Have you gulls found any cute pen holders? I need to de-clutter my desk of all these pens

I bought a bunch of post-its and the seller included a set of temporary tattoos shapes as diamonds as a gift. 10/10, would buy from again.

What do you do if you're not comfortable selling to a buyer because they set off your redflags? New account, no feedback score, etc. I've heard some people scamming sellers by doing a chargeback on their credit card and ebay basically being too incompetent/unwilling to help sellers in that situation.

>>9330589
we all have to start somewhere when buying anon

>>9330589
What kind of item are you selling? Is it fairly expensive? I agree with the other anon saying we all start somewhere, but it's not uncommon for scammers to be out there (especially for stuff like game codes and DLC).

I would definitely take pictures of the item before, during, and after you package it along with maybe taking a picture of the package at the mailbox. Better yet, record the process so there's no discrepancy as to anything happening after the pictures have been taken.

Above all, you can cancel the order and relist it another time.

>>9312134
Just gonna caution buying zminglel real quick. I have had 1 item never arrive (which happens) and 2 come in so aged they're a dirty yellow instead of white or beige.
Other than that I liked them fine.

Could some gulls help me out? Ebay isn't letting me bid on items because I have unpaid bid wins in my cart, but that's because the seller I am buying from explicitly stated not to pay their invoice until I (the customer) finish trying to bid on all items I want to for up to 30 days for combined shipping. I've been calling Ebay for about 3 hours now and I've been on hold for over 40 minutes at this point. Is there a way to actually get some customer service at this site or do we have to negotiate another way?

>>9333317
Did you buy from tora-books, by chance ?

>>9333317
you called at a horrible time. The other day I gad to talk to them and I was on hold for like 5 mins

Anyone know where I can get a stupid amount of decora related accessories (i.e barrettes, etc)
Or alt I'd like to see some decent menhera carrying stores

>>9330589
Sigh. Of course the guy with 0 feedback score wins the auction. And of course he decides not to pay because he decided to go out and buy a similar item in the middle of the auction. I fucking hate this community.

>tfw sell some snail face masks (new in package)
>include some Korean beauty samples in package
>buyer mentions how happy they were to receive the free samples
>receive 5 star feedback

>purchase some nail polish

>package everything as protective as possible with standard shipping and hope for the best
>buyer notes how quick their package shipped and they would do business with me again
>another 5 star feedback

I love personalized 5 star feedback. I still haven't received any feedback for a few other sales but I figure if there was something wrong with the order they would've contacted me by now.

>>9330589
I've had 3 items not paid for and surprisingly they've all been from different levels of experience.

>buyer #1 with feedback >100
>purchase item for $4
>1 full week goes by without payment
>open unpaid case
>another week goes by
>no response from seller
>close case and receive insertion fee back

>buyer #2 with 0 feedback
>purchase item for $6
>set up ebay to open unpaid case automatically after 3 days
>1 week after auction ended
>buyer pays for item
I'm guessing this buyer is actually a younger person since everything on their shipping address was lowercase and maybe they're only allowed on the computer on Sundays (when the auction closed and the following when they paid)? They didn't message me about though anything so idk.

>buyer #3 with >1000 feedback
>purchase lot of items for $10
>auction ended Sunday
>no payment or communication from buyer yet
>unpaid case will open soon

Trying to find printed adorable sweatshirts, help?

I think I saw these shoes posted here a while ago. Did anyone buy them? Could anyone vouch for their quality/ if they're true to size? Thanks gulls.

Can anybody help me with this cosplay?

>>9341312
The quality is not that great, you get what you pay for and they are pretty uncomfortable. They do look very cute and are true to size.

>>9320256
That's true but it also doesn't stop fools from paying almost $40 for cheap prize figures like >>9321040. Using figure selling shops like amiami and surugaya is way more reliable than scrounging Ebay.

>>9341312
Like >>9342098 said, nice for the price.

The size is true to the listing, they're comfortable and pretty good, the bows are a bit wonky
Sorry the photo isn't very great

>>9341312
can i have the link to them anon?

>>9342115
Completely agree concerning new and pre-order figures but what about figures that are not being sold anymore? People will want to sell their figures and others will want to buy them, so what's wrong about using eBay for that purpose?

>>9342098
>>9342208
Thanks for the reviews gulls and the pic, I was looking at the black ones so that's really helpful.

Despite this anon's helpfulness, I bought mine for only $4 shipped on Aliexpress. I ordered last month and it arrived last week tho

Has anyone used something like pic related or aware of a more proper name for it?

I'm trying to find before/afters or reviews with pictures/anecdoctal opinions

They're like $3 max on ebay so I'm sure it won't kill me to try. I've always wanted a more upturned nose to the point of planning surgery, so this'd be a nice way to test if i really liked the look before taking the plunge...

>>9346556
I haven't tried them, but I've heard these are extremely unpleasant to wear to the point of being painful. You also can see the bottom of them slightly in your nostril.

I saw a decent review on YouTube once, I'll try to find one for you

>>9317129

Came across pic related while browsing this store and it made my fucking day

Hi there! I need some cute lolita wigs (long, short, medium, don't really care. If they mix colours like brown and honey, light blue and navy, pink and blue, pink and brown, etc, it's better)... but I don't know which ebay seller is the best for that or who has the same wigs they show on pictures (or similar). Please help me! Thanks in advance!

>>9345343
Is it shit? I'm seeing one for about $6 shipped but if its polyester scratchy material even a low price isn't worth the space it takes up in my drawers.

>>9350781
It's soft, but I'm getting the feeling that after a couple more washes, it's the kind of fabric that will pill. If you got an electric pill remover though it shouldn't be a problem. For a gimmicky T-shirt I know I won't laugh at anymore in 5 years though, I think it's a good deal.

Not 100% eBay related but my figure came in! Thank you again for finding him on Y! Japan, anon. Now my bros can cry manly tears together.

where do you buy those bootleg figures that people use for decoden all the time?
im not sure what search either. gomen for being stupid

>>9321302
almost a month late lol
not OP, but the bunny bag is from Swimmer.

>>9355716
>eBay thread
>bootleg figures
Any figure on eBay for less than $30 has a 99% chance of being a bootleg

>>9355731
yes i know you find them on ebay but what criteria do i search them under? is there some sort of euphemism that people use to buy them in bulk or do i just look for cheap nendos?

sometimes it feels like crafters are operating in there own secret world of finding cheap wholesale supplies that your average person cant stumble upon

>>9355716
Maybe check out the sellers >>9321371 posted? Idk if they're bootlegs or not but I'm sure you can find a lot of interesting figures with a bit of patience.

>>9355737
They're not going to be labeled as bootleg. I'm pretty sure sellers go out of their way to make things seem authentic, but a $3 Nendo shipped from China is definitely not authentic.

So, example time. I'm typing in sailor moon figure on the search. Now, we're going to narrow the results down to under $10, free shipping, buy it now.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pretty-Soldier-Tsukino-Usagi-Sailor-Moon-Princess-Serenity-PVC-Figure-Figuren-NB-/112235057062?hash=item1a21bb0fa6:g:PqYAAOSw5cNYTnx2

Bam. Pic related, link above. $5. "China version" is in the description, so that's our 110% fake as fuck guarantee.

>>9339041
link to shop anon? you sound like a great seller!

>>9355836
O-oh, thank you! It's "rikandpil". It's my personal account so I mostly resell things that I bought for cheap and don't intend on using. My stock is quite infrequent but I ship fast and have a good feedback score.

This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone have links to RHS with the back cutout of the wedge? I've found plenty with a solid platform, but I'm looking for something similar to the forever out of stock Bodyline ones. Or if anyone has any better search terms I can try? I've done "rocking horse shoes" "lolita wedge shoes" "lolita platform shoes" and a bunch of others along those lines. I checked the archives and people have been saying you can find the Montreal ones on ebay, but I didn't have luck with the "Montreal lolita" search that was suggested

>>9355682
I thought the one on the left had a corn for hair and when I enlarged I thought he was shitting on a toilet.

>>9356156
It's an odd one, I'll give you that. I wish I could put him higher up so I don't mistake him for corn with a napkin draped over him but you really can have one of those guys without the other.

In Japanese these are called 鼻プチ (hanapuchi) and apparently go by the name nose secreter in English?

It's in Japanese but here is a blog with lots of pictures where some women (and men for good measure) tried various sizes https://togech.jp/2015/03/17/20654
All of these testers agreed that while certain sizes look nice, actually going out with having those in would be difficult.

Would this be a good bolero for sweet lolita in summer? It's cheap,light and cute but i'm affraid the grid pattern might not work

I can't see why it wouldn't work, I don't see it as such a problem.

Do you have a link, please?

I think this is adorable.
The pattern seems pretty subtle, it'seems probably not going to cause a clashing issue.

What's your experience buying fabric over eBay? I've found a good amount of velvet on there that is much cheaper than the ones available locally. The seller also has a lot of good feedback...

I bought one of these for the Secret Santa exchange. They're actually really nice and the one I got off Taobao had a crystal dangling under the heart.
