Introducing Mercari

The platform primarily features individual sellers, resulting in a unique and limited supply of goods that offer excellent value for money. Due to the popularity of its hot-selling products, Mercari has become one of the most sought-after online marketplaces in Japan.

To support customers in finding their preferred products at reasonable prices, Ezbuy Japan continually strives to enhance its presence with a more comprehensive and authentically Japanese approach. Our goal is to elevate our credibility within the Japanese market and become a partner of choice for many renowned e-commerce platforms in Japan. This aims to make shopping more convenient for customers, safeguard their interests, ensure product quality, and facilitate timely deliveries.

After two months of research and negotiations, Janbox, a subsidiary of Ezbuy Japan, is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Mercari. This collaboration signifies a significant milestone in the development of both parties and brings numerous conveniences to customers in their shopping experiences with Janbox.

Ezbuy Japan is an e-commerce enabler company for foreigners living in Japan, offering a wide range of services, including cross-border shopping and shipping,  selling in Japan, warehouse fulfillment, customs clearance, and more.

 

With its cross-border shopping service, Ezbuy Japan introduced the Janbox e-commerce platform. Janbox integrates leading Japanese e-commerce platforms, including Mercari, and other renowned platforms such as Amazon Japan, Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo! Auction, Rakuten, and more.

 

Specifically, Janbox takes customer purchase requests, procures products from Mercari, handles packaging and shipping, delivering them to international customers. All the procedures, including communication with international customers, cross-border payments, overseas shipping, export/import customs clearance, etc., are managed by the cross-border e-commerce company, Ezbuy Japan.

Why did Ezbuy Japan partner with Mercari? What benefits do customers gain?

Customers who purchase items from Mercari through Janbox enjoy all the rights and benefits as local Mercari customers. In addition, Janbox has partnered with Mercari to provide its customers with exclusive advantages, including:

    To transact on Mercari, users typically need an account created with a Japanese phone number and personal verification. This can be challenging for international buyers. Janbox simplifies the process, allowing customers to shop directly by easily converting their currency without the need for a Japanese Yen account. With just one Janbox account, customers can shop not only on Mercari but also on various other websites.
