How to Buy from Mercari Japan Using Proxy Services – Listen to Our Deep-Dive Podcast:
What is Mercari?
Mercari Japan is a flea market mobile app and a website where individuals sell new or pre-owned products to individuals. Sometimes, our customers from different countries call this website Marcari or Mecari, but in Japan we read its title as Merucari.
Mercari is the favorite online flea market app for Japanese fashionistas. Also it's the perfect place to search for rare goods to add to your lovely collection of Japanese items. Or resell them in your country, why not? Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy on Mercari Japan directly when you live outside of Japan.
Step 1: Access Mercari on Remambo:

Step 2: Search for items
If you search in English, your search queries may sometimes not return the desired results. If that happens, simply click the translation button next to the search bar, and your query will be automatically translated into Japanese, helping you expand your search and find more relevant items.
If you’ve already found the product you need on Mercari, simply copy its URL and paste it into the search bar on our website.
Step 3: Add Mercari item to your Shopping Cart
On the product page, you can find seller photos, item condition, estimated shipping time, and the product description. You can also view the original Mercari listing, explore other items from the seller, and most importantly, check their rating and reviews to ensure they are trustworthy.
Tip: It's very important to check the seller's rating and reviews and carefully read the product description.
Step 4: Pay for the order from your Remambo account page
Once you have submitted your order request, you will need to complete the payment.
At this stage, you can see a detailed breakdown of the order cost, including:
- Item price
- Remambo fee
- Buyer Protection service fee
- Total cost
Once payment is completed, canceling an order is technically impossible.
For this reason, we strongly recommend carefully reading the item description before finalizing your purchase.
Sometimes, an order may not be purchased automatically in our system. This happens when the seller's description or listing details contain so-called "stop words"—for example, items that are restricted for international shipping or cases where the seller requests additional details before completing the purchase. Our filter automatically detects such instances and blocks the purchase.
Step 5: Consolidate and choose shipping method
You will receive a notification from us when your package is in the Remambo warehouse. From that moment, we can consolidate several of your orders together or repack the package if it is too big or fragile. Choose which items you would like to ship together, select shipping method and delivery address. You will be able to edit titles in the shipping label and customs declaration. Also you may leave a comment to our warehouse staff about your parcel.
Step 6: Pay international shipping cost
We will quickly ship the parcel to you. All our shipping methods have tracking numbers. Please wait for the parcel arrival. Happy shopping on Mercari JP!
