Note that you can negotiate as much as 30% off for Yahoo Auctions in FJP these days so shooting some lower offers and then using codes and campaigns can bring these prices much lower potentially.
How do you go with negotiating this much? For me, from Japan shows they will only negotiate a max 10% off and thats not for auction style listing's like Yahoo Auctions. I've only ever been able to get a max 25% off for a listing on Mercari by waiting for a FJ 10% campaign and stacking with 10% negotiation and 5% member code.

As far as negotiating goes (obviously not guaranteed and seller needs to agree):

Then, like you said, you can add campaigns and codes on top of that.
For campaigns you can find them here:

For codes you can find them here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FromJapanCodes/comments/1khqef4 For example currently there is a 10% campaign for Yahoo Auctions that is actually a code (and therefore cannot be combined with other codes) so it can be a bit confusing.
But Rekuten and Mercari usually do actual campaigns that get applied automatically and CAN be combined with codes.

30% potential is crazy. I guess I'm still confused how you can negotiate an auction style listing where you literally place your bid amount? On Mercari listings, you ask for a discount in the comments, how is this possible for an auction?

Potentially yes, but in most cases sellers either refuse to negotiate at all or reduce the price less than what you request.
You just make a request via the contact form and they reduce the price for everyone if they choose to do so.
I've had success with this a few times - the bid/buyout price just goes down.
Note that if the bid and buyout price is not the same then the 30% max is counted from the buyout price, not the bid price.

Great to know, thank you!
