*note: this tutorial is from 2020 so things may be outdated if youre referring to this video in the future such as fees, layout, etc ~ (also the style of this video is different from me today lol) but the way you can purchase things should still be the same ! just wanted to make a note in case people get confused or point any outdated things out :] sign up using this link and get 2000 yen off your first order through mercari japan! bit.ly/buyee-8raddy (updated link)
トレカ is pronounced like “toh-ray-ka” and just means ‘trading card’! My Japanese teacher once said the best way to pronounce Japanese words is to pretend to be Japanese yourself! ☺️
ive never had issues with fake pcs but u should just inspect the pics on the listing! i feel like scammers arent as prominent on mercari jpn then mercari usa
With real photocards, there are usually these white dots on the edges of the card. These show that the photocard was connected to the the other photocards distributed and they broke them apart from eachother.
Which is what worries me about this video, because the first seventeenphotocard that he bought in this vid, do not have those dots of carbon at the edges. Which means that if the edges are smooth, it is a fake
To identify unofficial photo cards they would usually be different sizes textures or doesn’t have those little specks on the sides of them like real photo cards do
well, it depends on where you live haha. If you live in the u.s it may be pricey, but not if you live in, for example, the philipines or place like that. also, in buyee you can find things that you may not be able to find if you live in other countries (for example japanese pcs for kind of a lower price), and the differences between yen and dollar is huge, so yeah.. ps: my english is bad, sorry.
@@8raddy It’s funny bc I watch a lot of collection videos, and I’ve wondered if people who collect the same groups/members have ever “stolen” cards from one another lol. Glad to hear you found them tho 😂
How long does it usually take for a package to be completed before it goes to the waterhouse? It's been 5 days for me and I'm already starting to worry my order is still on status order received and I pick lite plan so idk If they will return my money If they dont ship my package :(
First you pay for just the product, then when it is sent to the warehouse it is +shipping. That was something i didn’t know and i had to cancel my order because i didn’t have an extra 20 to ship it ;-;
Random question king but if your order does for some reason get cancelled since someone else had purchased it do you get a refund or will you just have to wait until the item is available again?
ik im over a year late, but thank you for this video lol. im abt to buy my first second hand cards for my collection! the cards are so much cheaper (to my knowledge) on mercari jp. thank you (again) and sorry im so late lol.
hi Braddy! n__n I have one question if you don't mind, I tried adding to my cart several photocards from the same buyer because I wanted them to be shipped altogheter at the same time to the warehouse, but it seems that's not an option? because they all appear as individual purchases at my cart, and the "Proceed to order page" button appears also individually one per one. Is this normal? It honestly seems weird, I thought they would autocombine as when you purchase many things from the same buyer at Amazon, thanks!
yes even if its from the same seller it goes into separate transactions :( it would be under the same transaction only from retail stores like amazon japan or rakuten!
@@B34RXO It depends on your local customs office. If they deem them to look like low valued goods then they won’t keep them at the customs postal office. If they are curious about the contents or if the deem them as goods of a high value then you will have to pay extra taxes.
usually they give you up to 30 days to store it at their warehouse and pay for the shipping and if you don’t your order will be cancelled and you will be refunded
i think it's not worth it,,, I bought a challenger cd with junki photocard and postcard, without shipping it was 17 pln, around 4 usd?? idk something like that so it was sooo cheap and i bought it,,, shipping alone was 91pln so around 18 usd?? and it's in the warehouse now and idek what to do rn bc I don't have enough money 😭😭 I may return it,,, maybe I'm just dumb and I did something wrong sbsnsnsns
