In the FAQ and information pages at Shopping 
Mall Japan, it says that once you sign up for an 
account, within 24 hours you will be requested 
to make a deposit on your account.  However, 
nowhere does it say ( unless I missed it ) how 
much they are going to require that deposit to 
be.  I think it's a little unfair to not at 
least give that information, so people know how 
much they are going to be putting down just to 
get an account, whether they are going to be 
bidding in the near future or not.

So people who use this service, can you tell me 
what $$$ amount is of this required deposit to 
start an account?
