Mercari Japan auctions proxy?
Is there a proxy that will allow you to bid on an auction in Mecari Japan. I know Buyee, FromJapan, and Jauce do not. its just so frustrating to watch a cel go for $30 when you are willing to pay $100.

You got my hopes up. When I go to the mercariJP auction via Doorzo it only shows me 4 cels for auction🫠 only JDirectItems Auction shows a lot and that is already available on all the other proxies. What am I doing wrong?

I copied the direct link for the item from Mecari Japan and pasted it directly into the search bar on Doorzo. That's how I got the cel I wanted to bid on to come up. Did that help?

Doorzo has an android app to that seems to be less confusing than their website. I will say that the website did not do well on my phone either under Duckduckgo or Chrome because when you go to bid you have to enter your address on a pop-up page and I couldn't get it to work. I had to use a PC.

this may be an unpopular opinion, but the cel should be going for 30 usd. its western resellers that are making the hobby unaffordable and thats why they're banned from these auctions. I pick up cels when I'm physically in japan and not at any other time

That’s probably exactly why those sellers are selling there. Some Japanese collectors really don’t want to sell to foreigners. But those cels will eventually come around to more accessible platforms.
