Dear Customer,
We would like to share an important reminder for those using the Mercari Instant Purchase feature.
On Mercari, there are cases where the items shown in the photos do not match the actual item being sold.
For example, a photo might show 20 figures, but the actual listing may be for only one figure.
Even if multiple items appear in the photo, the product description may state that the price is for just one item. Therefore, please do not rely on photos alone.
Always read the full product description carefully before making an Instant Purchase.
If anything is unclear, do not proceed with the purchase. Instead, feel free to ask us so we can ask the seller.
Since Instant Purchase is completed in real-time, we are unable to review or verify the listing beforehand.
Please understand that we cannot accept any complaints or cancellations after the item arrives, even if the quantity or product is different from what you expected.
To avoid any misunderstandings, make sure to read every detail in the product description before making your purchase.
Please note that all Instant Purchases are processed in real time and cannot be canceled for any reason.
These precautions also apply to auctions.
Best Regards,
Your J-Subculture Team
