I was wondering about getting the deposit back 
too. (Assuming you're not going to be ordering 
anything more from Yahoo Japan.) Nothing is 
listed about how deposit refunds will be handled.

For the other two questions, *read the page*: If 
you look under the "bidding service" link, they 
have a chart of fees - the amount of deposit 
requested (depending on the type of auction and 
how much you bid) is included there.

If you look right under the search engine, you'll 
see a link for adding a link (read: series) to 
the search database.

I'm pleased as punch to see my Yahoo Japan 
information page listed as a reference link! =^_^=
Everyone to please feel free to link the Yahoo 
Japan information page anywhere and everywhere 
they want to! ^_^

Many Sharp Smiles,
