Hello, I have a Yahoo Japan ID (so I can 

email people in Japanese) but I've had 

trouble activating this account for bidding 

on Yahoo Japan.  I'm well aware of the all 

the issues with Yahoo Japan that have been 

discussed on this form (ad infinitum) so let 

me state now that I only wish to bid on cels 

listed by thewindy who I know ships overseas 

and is active on this forum.  My problem is 

when I try to go bid on a cel, a confirmation 

page comes up, and for some reason I the 

characters appear as "&#@" type of things 

instead of actual characters, so I do not 

know what the first and second boxes are 

asking for (there are two places where yahoo 

asks for some information and then a third 

box below for your email).  If someone could 

tell me what yahoo is asking for, I'd be very 

grateful.


If this has already been addressed, I'm sorry 

for the repetition, but I was unable to find 

any info on it in previous messages.
