Introduction to Mercari Shops

Did you know that products listed on Neokyo’s official partner, Mercari, include both items from individual sellers and from official stores? These official stores are called Mercari Shops. In this article, we will take a closer look at the appeal of Mercari Shops.

What is Mercari Shops?

Mercari Shops is an official, store-based shopping mall on Mercari, where sellers must pass a review process. Many of these sellers are registered businesses. Since its launch in 2021, more than 200,000 shops (as of April 2022) have opened, ranging from small regional makers to well-known brands, and the number continues to grow.

Four Advantages of Choosing Mercari Shops

1. Peace of Mind and Reliability from Official Stores

Only official stores can sell through Mercari Shops. Compared to listings from individual users, this greatly reduces the risk of counterfeit items or incorrect descriptions. Customers can also expect trustworthy after-sales service and support.
Shops that are especially relevant to Neokyo users include:

Fashion

Trading Cards

Hobbies (Anime, Manga)

2. A Wide and Unique Product Lineup (Plus Sales & Discounts)

From anime goods, cosmetics, and fashion to food and household items, Mercari Shops offers a wide variety of categories. Regional stores often carry uniquely Japanese “hidden gems” you may not find elsewhere. Regular sales and discount campaigns also make shopping even more rewarding.

3. Focus on New Items and Quality Assurance

Most items listed are new or unused. Because many are sourced directly from company inventory, product condition is clear and reliable. A large number of shops also authenticate their own products, making them trustworthy choices for collectors and gifts alike.

4. A Growing and Reliable Marketplace

With over 200,000 shops already established (as of April 2022), Mercari Shops brings together both major brands and regional businesses. The number of sellers and products is expected to continue expanding, ensuring that the platform will become an even richer shopping destination in the future.
