III. Tips for Buying Cameras or Lenses on Mercari
1. Evaluate the Seller’s Reliability
When shopping on Mercari, the following indicators can help you assess the trustworthiness of a seller:
Seller’s Profile and Sales History:
Be cautious if the seller lists only one item or their account was recently created. Trustworthy sellers typically have multiple items for sale and accounts with a longer activity history.
Ratings and Transaction History:
Check the seller’s transaction volume and reviews. Sellers with a high number of completed transactions and mostly positive ratings, such as “良かった” (good reviews), are generally more reliable. Phrases like “品の品質が良かった” (the product quality was good) or “説明通りだった” (as described) indicate the seller fulfills orders as promised.
However, if there are reviews mentioning undelivered items or “説明と異なる商品だった” (the item was different from the description) suggest caution.
Mercari Identity Verification Badge:
A verified badge indicates the seller has passed Mercari’s official identity verification, making them more credible. Additionally, sellers with a “高評価バッジ” (high rating badge) have consistently received positive feedback in recent transactions, signifying reliability.
2. Check for Product Authenticity in the Seller’s Description
Some sellers provide the product’s purchase source and transaction proof to confirm authenticity. For example, they may state the item was purchased from an official store and include receipts or tags.
Additionally, some sellers offer the “あんしん鑑定” (安心鑑定 – secure authentication) service, a third-party verification service from Mercari. Items labeled “あんしん鑑定利用可” (authentication available) allow buyers to pay an extra fee for professional verification before shipping.
