What is JPSellerCheck?

JPSellerCheck is an independent database of Japanese eBay sellers, built to help international buyers shop safely and confidently.

We analyze publicly available seller reputation data and buyer feedback to assess each seller across four dimensions — reliability, packaging quality, shipping speed, and communication. For priority sellers, M.Sato adds a personal expert review based on direct experience with the Japanese eBay seller market.

Our goal is simple: answer the question "Is this seller legit?" before you buy.

JPSellerCheck is run by M.Sato, a Japan-based analyst who has spent years studying Japanese eBay sellers across multiple categories.

How It Works

01
Real Buyer Feedback Collection
We collect recent buyer feedback comments per seller from eBay's platform. This gives us a direct view into real buyer experiences — shipping times, packaging quality, card condition accuracy, and communication.
Data-driven
02
Trust Score Calculation
Each seller receives a Trust Score from 0–100, calculated from positive feedback rate, total feedback volume, Top Rated Seller status, years of activity, and patterns detected in buyer comments.

How the Trust Score Works

The Trust Score is a composite 0–100 rating. Here's how the points are allocated:

Positive feedback rate ≥ 99.5% up to 40 pts
Total feedback volume up to 30 pts
Top Rated Seller status 20 pts
Years of activity up to 10 pts
Total 100 pts

Scores are recalculated weekly as new feedback data is collected. AI-assisted analysis of comment text may apply additional adjustments for red flags such as condition misrepresentation or location inconsistencies.

Affiliate Disclosure

We want to be fully transparent about how JPSellerCheck operates.

📢 Affiliate Disclosure
JPSellerCheck participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN), eBay's official affiliate program. This means that when you click a link to eBay on this site and make a qualifying purchase within 24 hours, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

This commission helps us maintain and improve the site, keep data updated, and continue providing free seller reviews.

Our editorial decisions — Trust Scores, expert reviews, and seller rankings — are made independently and are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We review sellers based on their actual buyer feedback records, not on commercial arrangements. Sellers cannot pay to improve their score or review.

Data & Updates

Seller data is updated on a weekly basis. Trust Scores are recalculated whenever new feedback is detected. Expert reviews by M.Sato are added and updated on an ongoing basis as priority sellers are analyzed.

We are continuously expanding our seller database. If a seller you're looking for isn't in our system yet, you can submit a review request from their page and we'll prioritize adding them.
