That is correct approx 150 yen is $1.50 in U.S. dollars. Or to be exact as of
July 6th the exchange rate is $1.04 to 100 yen. So 150 yen today will be approx
$1.56.

$15 dollars will be approx 1,500 yen

the fees include giving your money to them and shipping costs. If you do work
with one of these, do not be surprised that an item which is just 150 yen (about
15 dollars) may cost up to $75.
