Mercari Japan?
Mercari Japan is a popular C2C marketplace where customers can find some rare and one-of-a-kind collectibles, apparel, accessories and general merchandise.
It’s almost impossible for potential customers located outside Japan to purchase an item from Mercari Japan, because the platform expects its customers to reside in the country, and be able to use a Japanese address, phone number, and a payment method.
What About ZenMarket Mercari?
Most Japanese proxies like ZenMarket help their customers make purchases from thousands of online stores such as Yahoo Auctions, Amazon japan and Rakuten.
Mercari Japan is not one of them, it’s more complicated and stricter for international customers, expecting them to have a Japanese address, phone number, and credit cards.
There are several marketplaces (that i didn’t test) that allow customers all over the world to buy from Mercari Japan, but based on my research, they charge higher fees per transaction, because of the extra steps they need to take to help customers buy from Mercari, including commenting on products in the platform.
Some of these companies are WRE, Tenso, Dejapan, Treasure Japan, JPN-DEPOT, Luxasshopx, Japonica.
