>Or , maybe they just take better care of their stuff?

They definitely do. The stuff I've ordered from Japan has been by and large immaculate. Sellers also pack things really well. They don't try to hide damage either, and will sell even slightly marred stuff as "junk" for a deep discount.

US sellers on the other hand treat their stuff like crap, want top dollar for junk, and actively hide defects in their listings. Oh, and they generally suck at packing stuff.

That's good to know. I didn't end up buying anything from Japan, but I've thought it several times , when i run across something searching on ebay. I think I've just been more concerned about whether I would actually get the package , or if it would get "lost", and have to deal with that.

Well, eBay in general is very good about taking care of buyers if something does go missing.
