A little clarity

Before we begin.

How does JBA auction access work?

After business approval and account setup, eligible members receive assigned JBA-managed Buyer ID access to AUCNET and ECOAUC. Members review actual auction lots and place their own bids from overseas. JBA provides remote guidance and then handles upstream settlement, receipt in Japan, packing and the approved international shipment.

JBA is an auction-access and transaction-support service, not a fixed-price wholesaler. It does not prepare a per-item wholesale catalogue or quotation.

Who can apply for JBA membership?

JBA is open to companies, merchants and professional dealers engaged in sourcing, selling or related business involving pre-owned luxury goods. Businesses of any size may apply if they have genuine, ongoing commercial sourcing needs.

What documents should I prepare before applying?

Please prepare a company registration certificate, business licence or another document that demonstrates active business operations, together with the applicant's basic contact details. You may also provide an official website, store page or product photographs to help us understand your business more fully.

We will also require a valid government-issued identity document for the company representative or applicant.

How do I submit an application?

Select “Start your application”, complete the basic business information and submit the required documents. You do not need to register an account in advance.

If secure file upload is available on the page, you may submit the relevant business and identity documents directly. If secure upload is not yet available, submit the application first and we will contact you when the secure upload channel is ready.

To protect your personal information, do not send passports, identity cards or other identity documents by ordinary Email.

After submission, you can view progress through your dedicated application page. Keep your application reference safe for future enquiries.

How much does membership cost?

The current membership fees, refundable security deposits, buying limits and plan benefits shown on this website are effective from 6 October 2026. Application is free. Service-fee rates are Standard 10%, Gold 8%, Platinum 7% and VIP 5%, calculated on Japan Brand Auction's upstream payable amount. Japanese consumption tax, domestic and international shipping, transport insurance and other applicable charges are excluded and calculated separately. Membership approval and account activation remain subject to review.

Can JBA deliver to my country or region?

Tell us your main destination country or region when applying. We will confirm the available shipping methods, estimated costs, insurance and required import and export documents based on the destination and product category.

When can I start participating in auctions?

Once your membership is approved and your account is activated, you can use the applicable sourcing and auction services. Auction dates, eligible products and participation requirements are governed by the published rules for each auction.
