Hi All, As you have all probably noticed in other posts i will likely be opening a shop in early feb to late Feb. At this time my Main focus it to provide Cheap alternative to HS. At this time I actaully want the opinion of how my site will function at first. Due to limitation on money at first i will be running a store that will not support a english check out. (defiantely will later if all goes well) So my question to you is which do you preffer for a check out process. 1) The ability to have a members login page (also in japanese with limited english text with in) and the ability to check out and earn points by following a English guide if you get stuck or do not under stand a question in japanese (check out worded in japanese with english shipping choices). This would also involve having a paypal / paypal credit card payment choice only, You would need to pay for items at check out and i will promptly send a payment request for the shipping total. OR 2) Have a english Form where you fill in details such as Name Contact Email Address to ship too Manualy Enter the item code and name for items wishing to purchase select shipping Agree to terms check box and Click submit. I will then receive order remove the stock from site manaully and send pay pal/ paypal credit card payment request. The limitation with number 2 is that if 1 item being ordered on has 1 in stock and you want it i may not get to it before a japanese customer checks out. (i will always check who submitted order first by time though and award that person. Also no points will be incurred. Please note that if going through the japanese check out is not a hassle the user accounts and points will be migrated (can't guarantee 100%) to the new full english site in the future. I look forward to your feed back. some info on the store. The store will have english descriptions and navagation buttons for products view. At first i will start small with models only and later expand to parts and scenic items. I am always open to trying to find a model i don't have in stock so you can always email a request and i will try my best to get one new. I also hope to have a full 20% discount on all items and no tax on these items + points benefit. However i cannot confirm 20% is completely accurate till I am in japan in a few weeks. My goal is also to have quick prompt shipping, so the shipping payment request is given on the same business day and any item paid for before 3pm japan time will be shipped on that day. Example: Customer buys item 5am japan time monday morning. 8am~ when open all payment requests will be sorted and sent asap, User gets payment for shipping at 11am jpn time and pays at 2pm I will send that day. I'm currently building the site so I look forward to previewing the site to the comunity in the next few weeks. I also look forward to your support and ideas. Cheers, Dave
