I never heard of the site before but I just went and took a look. I may be wrong but from what I see its all just a sham and the stuff is likely cheap Chinese knock off. If it looks too good to be true chances are it is.

It looks a good site with the same variation of genuine and fake as Ebay.
Their English is a bit dodgy but I'm sure with care that there are bargains to be found

As mentioned Jauce is not a website but simply a buying agent for Yahoo! Auctions and other Japan e-commerce, which traditionally never ship internationally and do not describe in English, so what you're reading is an automated translation. One can browse it directly at https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/ As a regular buyer there I must say that with very few exceptions bids accurately reflect item value and desirability.
I have not check this particular agent fees  (there are very many) but just like the others that advertise heavily these may be relatively inflated.
Fake/genuine/too good to be true issues aside, there is a serious drawback when using a buying agent, if you take a risk and then find yourself stuffed or really unhappy with the purchase, you can't return or even invoke PayPal or Credit Card protection, because you would be going against your agent not the original seller, which according to Y! Japan rules is always right.

Agreed. I didnt spend all day but I entered watch in the search function and the first 500 that came up were clearly fakes.

I don't know where you have been looking but if it is Yahoo Auctions Japan fakes there are an absolute minority, as unlike Ebay they enforce their policy.

That's only the landing page, care to post an specific UR for an item that you believe to be fake?

E.g. non running, genuinine Seamaster Coaxial  https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g386281087

No need to post a specific item. If youre looking to provide a specific opinion on a specific item I believe the OP is still looking for authenticity opinions on the specific items they posted about. Im interested in your opinion as to the 3 items he posted. I said I put the word "watch" in the search field and the first 500 were fakes. Ill gladly retract my statement. Not all 500 were fakes............but id say the majority were.......not much different than ebay.

No opinion from me without seeing the specific URL for these items, as that will reveal a good deal of information. 

I believe you have been very hurried with your damning judgment. "Watch" is way too much a generic search, what are we talking about here, vintage? Current luxury? Try "omega speedmaster" or "Rolex datejust" on auctions.yahoo.co.jp. I don't think you will find blatant fakes advertised as genuine. There are but the logo is always obscured, and no false promises are made.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
