I would like to start out by saying that if you need an item that might sell out very fast, then buy from Janbox (which is the only similar type of service for Mercari purchases), because they are really great (great customer service, and very fast, and all around great), because they will order your Mercari item very quick, within just a few minutes. Buyee on the other hand, can take many hours to purchase your Mercari item for you (after you have paid for it), in which time, the item might sell to someone else in the meantime. I have lost out on a few items that I really wanted, due to buyee being so slow about ordering them for me. Janbox is super fast though, when it comes to Mercari, and the money can be charged to your paypal account at the time of ordering. The warehouse employees at Buyee are not very good, and not very bright, or maybe just completely uncaring, so I highly recommend that if you order from Buyee, through a Yahoo auction win for example, to choose the Light (Zero fee) plan, which does not come with insurance, or just the Insured Only plan, which does, but with those 2 options, the warehouse will NOT open or repackage your items, which is a good thing, in my opinion. If it is a very expensive item, then you should look for a much better Proxy Buying service (Maybe Zenmarket for example, though I have never used their service). Anyways, overall, I have been very happy with Buyee for the most part, other then the few items that I missed due to choosing them (instead of Janbox) to buy a Mercari item for me. Buyee is very fast at getting the item shipped though, just so you use either the Light Plan, or the Insured Only plan. If you use the Inspection plan, then it will be slower, and the package might be heavier after they repackage it, for safety during transit. On the plus side, they are willing to downsize your items, so that the shipping costs will be cheaper.

Tip for consumers:
Chose the Light plan, unless the item is very valuable, or very valuable to you. Or, Choose the Insured Only plan, if the item has much value. Choose the Inspection plan only if you really need them to inspect the package, but be aware that the Warehouse staff is not very good, or smart (or caring) about repackaging the items for you, in my experience, and in my opinion.

Products used:
Proxy Buying service, for Billiard related products.
