Kommentare How to purchase figures on Mercari + MFC giveaway

To go even further.
On Yahoo Auctions, people might mention that the an item is from "Oversea" to imply that it's a bootleg counterfeit. On rarer cases, you can see that the seller him/herself is based "Oversea" in their location field, so that's also something to be considered when looking for red flags.

Overall we noticed that Mercari was less impacted by this trend, maybe because they screen sellers at larger scales, shutting down shady seller accounts pretty quickly.

Mercari (and Y! JA for that matter) do have bootlegs on them now. Just because it has a Japanese name and has Japanese phrases in the listing does not make it legitimate. It's no longer the "good old days" where everything was all dandy and fine.
Please do your diligent research because these shops don't really have much recourse for the buyer.Thanks for the warn! Always keep an eye.

Congratulations to A.B. who's been picked as our contest winner! :-)

... doesn’t this article break some rule involving a shop? what happened to the alert? (I hate that blog alerts are private =_=)

View spoilerHide spoilerDo not post commercial messages
*Do not promote commercial activities of yourself or others (except if explicitly authorized by the MFC staff and in the according place - club dedicated to sales and web-shops).
*Do not post affiliate links.

Guess this is authorized (even though it’s a ad in the wrong place) cause they’re paying.

I have been looking for a place that can buy from mercari with affordable fees for ages, and I recently purchased a couple yuri kuma items through Neokyo and had a great experience. Would recommend!
