JSA Auctions

Hello,

Has anyone been able to register with JSA Auctions?

I translated the site to English and tried to register,

but it will not accept me. Is JSA a closed market?

 

Regards,

You can still bid on Japanese auctions:

There are a lot of other services that worth the same.

Hello,

Thank you Kenkaku, Brian, and Rich for the info.

I tried registering at JSA Auction again. I still could

not get too far. I translated the site to English, created an ID nickname and password. After I entered them an ERROR shows up stating service of bitsudaza is to be packed at present. What does this mean? The ID name I have chosen is already being used? What is strange is that I tried registering without translating the site to English and using the same ID name and password word and I was able to get to step 2 of the registration process. They only problem was that nothing was in English. Nor, in Japanese. It was mostly a bunch of squares for letters. Any info would be a help. Thanks.

 

Regards,
