Common Mistakes
No close-up of serial number or date code — Japanese buyers require this for trust
Missing photos of interior lining — wear inside the bag is as important as outside
Overpricing relative to Mercari sold prices — research the exact model before pricing
Not using Mercari's authentication service for high-value items — it increases buyer confidence significantly
