I didn't catch that until today.

That also includes Yahoo Shopping.

This is what I get from France:

From Wednesday, April 6, 2022, Yahoo! JAPAN is no longer available in the EEA and the United Kingdom

Please be informed that from Wednesday, April 6, 2022, Yahoo! JAPAN’s services are no longer available to our users in the EEA (European Economic Area) and the United Kingdom, as it has been determined by Yahoo! JAPAN that providing a continuous service environment in these regions would be difficult. Please note that services listed under “Services available after Wednesday, April 6, 2022” below will continue to be available.

Please note that all Yahoo! JAPAN services are accessible after this date if access is made from Japan.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

Thinking that Buyee.jp would be having a great time doing proxy... it looks that they are blocking as well.

Works with a .jp exit node. :thumbup:

Trying to fathom the reasoning behind the block. Their explanation is more vague than the contents between Pamela Anderson's ears.

Edit: apparently it's to do with EU updated privacy laws. Which is odd because the UK is not part of the EU.

Well that really sucks even if it doesn't effect me (yet anyway, who knows).
