Bank Transfers in Japan are around 300 to 400 
en.  I charge my friends 315 en for bank 
transfers under 10000en.  Which is roughly about 
$2.70.  Shouldnt be $8.  Unless its a cel over 
$800, then itd be around $7 to $8.  One Example, 
I did a bank transfer for 60000en for 600en.  If 
it was 1 yen cheaper, it would have been 105en 
cheaper for the bank transfers.  Most sellers to 
ship it Yuupack, which is 740 en for overnite in 
Japan, which probably most sellers use, unless 
we're talking about more than 5 to 6 cels that 
are being shipped.  But, if you ask seller, they 
might ship it through regular post office, which 
usually takes no longer than 3 days, and its like 
$2.  Unlike the USPS, the Japanese post office 
delivers packages fairly well.  But, there are 
times where sellers will use COD, which is only 
740 to 840 en (Still not $10).  Then rarely, 
sellers who charage a flat rate of 1000en.  Some 
other things to consider, as to how deputy 
services make more money not only on their deputy 
charge, but with all these other smaller things, 
also the fact that the yen is not as strong as 
the dollar right now, with a bank selling yen at 
about 118 en to the dollar.  There are also, 
other ways like winning mutliple auctions and 
charging everyone for shipping and bank transfer 
when it can be done with one shipping and one 
bank transfer.  Its something everyone should 
know, since you guys seems to think the $10 
service charge is expensive enough, all these 
little things add up.  I'm Japanese, but, English 
is not a problem with me.  If you need more 
detailed information about costs and such, I 
might be able to help. Easiest way, find a 
friend, not a service, who can help.  Smart 
people will usually do that.  Befriend a seller 
who ships internationally, understands English, 
etc.  Just what I think if youre having problems 
with services, especially those who put other 
customers in front.  If it's business, it should 
be done like a business.  Customers first. First 
come first serve.  Only, only if youre a 
business.  If youre doing it as a favor, then, 
they have the right to choose.  But, for paying 
customers ,I think it shouldn't be favortism. My 
problem in Japan is that, there are always 
someone in front of me to get that cel, even 
though I will pay more. But, that's not how it 
goes.
