Mercari
List a secondhand item for sale in minutes with just your phone's camera, or shop millions of used goods, from Japan's original and largest peer-to-peer marketplace app. About Mercari: Mercari was founded in Tokyo in February 2013 by Shintaro Yamada, with co-founders Ryo Ishizuka and Tommy Tomishima, launching its mobile-first flea-market app that July. It became Japan's first startup unicorn, went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2018 in the country's largest IPO of that year, and has since grown into Japan's largest consumer-to-consumer marketplace, holding over 40% of the domestic resale market with more than 23 million monthly active users and over 4 billion total listings. Key Features: Fast Listings: Photograph an item, add a description and price, and publish a listing in under a minute from your phone. No Listing Fees: List items for free, with a flat commission taken only when an item actually sells. Anonymous Shipping: Ship items through Mercari's integrated shipping options without sharing your name or address directly with the buyer or seller. Merpay Wallet: Use Mercari's built-in payment service to spend sales proceeds directly, pay for purchases, or transfer funds, without needing to withdraw to a bank first. How to Get Started: Download the Mercari app and create an account. To sell, photograph your item, write a short description, set a price, and publish the listing. To buy, search or browse categories, and purchase an item directly at its listed price. Ship sold items using Mercari's shipping labels, or arrange pickup depending on the shipping option chosen. Important Notice: As a peer-to-peer marketplace, item condition, shipping speed and communication quality depend on the individual seller rather than Mercari itself; the platform provides buyer protections and dispute support, but doesn't inspect items before they're shipped.
