Today, Mercari is the go-to resale marketplace for fashion, toys and collectibles, vintage items, home goods and more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This launch is the first time we are connecting our U.S. and Japanese marketplaces, enabling U.S. shoppers to purchase items from millions of sellers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span>,&#8221; said John Lagerling, Mercari U.S. CEO. &#8220;When we thought about the future of resale, cross-border shopping was a natural next step in Mercari&#8217;s evolution as a truly seamless global marketplace. Interest in Japanese fashion, toys, and collectibles has been steadily increasing in recent years and the strength of the U.S. dollar makes it a great time for our customers to be able to buy directly from <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. buyers can shop with ease as they browse items, ask questions, and complete their purchases in English. Mercari has also simplified the shipping process, working with The BEENOS Group, an industry leader in international transactions. All items purchased from <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span> will first be sent to The BEENOS Group where they are inspected, prepared for international shipment, and delivered straight to the buyer around two weeks from the seller&#8217;s shipping date.
