buyee being slow at placing orders has caused me to miss out on items numerous times now
like the title says… they really should streamline the ordering system, especially order via URL. this has happened to me too many times to count now but this most recent time is extra frustrating because I stayed up really late to place a purchase request on Buyee the moment the item I wanted released (12 pm Japanese time). it took them 6 hours to confirm the item stock, which I paid for immediately, but the item sold out a few hours later and Buyee never got around to ordering.
instead of check stock -> I confirm and pay -> wait for purchase, why can’t it be: I pay when I request them to check stock -> they check and order immediately if still in stock? it’s just the additional waiting, which sometimes means an extra day, that’s been really frustrating… 😵💫
I have used Buyee for years now and it’s been fine overall and I trust it as a proxy, but recently it’s been pretty slow with checking & ordering and I keep barely missing out on things I really wanted!
