If you’re a Pokémon TCG collector, finding rare Japanese Pokemon cards — such as first edition sets, special promos, or Japan-only prints — can be both thrilling and challenging. Many of these rare cards are often listed on Mercari JP (メルカリ), one of Japan’s largest peer-to-peer marketplaces, but Mercari JP does not ship internationally. That’s where Buy&Ship Global’s proxy shopping service comes in — letting you buy Pokemon TCG cards from Mercari JP and ship them to Thailand and other countries.

I. Why Use Buy&Ship Global for Mercari JP Pokemon TCG?
Why is a proxy service needed for Mercari JP?
Mercari JP requires a Japanese phone number for membership registration and restricts access to local IPs. It also does not support international shipping, making it difficult for overseas users to shop directly.
Why Buy&Ship?
🔍 1. Access Japan-Exclusive Pokemon Cards
Mercari JP has a vast marketplace where collectors list rare and hard-to-find Pokémon TCG cards that may never appear on international stores or marketplaces.
💳 2. Overcome Payment & Address Restrictions
Mercari JP typically requires a Japanese address and payment method. Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping solves this — you submit the product link, and Buy&Ship purchases on your behalf even if the seller doesn’t accept international addresses or credit cards.
📦 3. Combine Orders from Multiple Countries
You can consolidate Mercari JP purchases with other overseas orders (for example from US, UK, Japan, or Korea) into a single international shipment to Thailand, helping you save on international shipping costs.
💵 4. Transparent USD Pricing + 6% Proxy Fee
All pricing — including the 6% proxy shopping service fee — is transparently calculated in USD. The service fee covers purchasing, order handling, and domestic shipping to a Buy&Ship warehouse in Japan or other specified origin country.
II. Pokémon TCG Buying Tips
1. Look for PSA-certified Cards
PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) is a trusted card grading organization. Many Mercari sellers offer PSA-graded Pokémon cards, complete with a protective case, score, and certification number. You can verify the card’s authenticity on PSA’s official site.
Grading Scale: Cards are scored from 1–10, with PSA 10 (Gem Mint) being the highest grade, indicating flawless condition:
- Surface: No scratches or imperfections, with holographic cards retaining their shine.
- Corners: Sharp and undamaged.
- Edges: Clean and free from discoloration.
- Centering: Precise alignment within PSA’s standards.
2. Pay Attention to Packaging and Storage
Choose sellers who prioritize proper packaging and storage. Look for listings with these descriptions for a worry-free purchase:
- 折れ、濡れ対策を実施の上、発送させて頂きます：Items are shipped with safeguards to prevent damage from bending or moisture.
- 緩衝材で包んで発送します：Items are wrapped with cushioning materials for secure delivery.
- 発送時は厳重に梱包して発送致します：Items are strictly and securely packaged before shipping.
- 保存BOXで暗所にて保管しております：Cards are kept in protective storage boxes in a dark environment to maintain their condition.
- 喫煙者は家族に居らず、匂い等はないと思います：The seller’s household is smoke-free, ensuring no odors or smoke-related issues.

VII. FAQ — Pokémon TCG Proxy Shopping
❓ Why can’t I buy directly from Mercari JP?
Mercari JP only ships within Japan and does not accept international addresses — that’s why a proxy shopping service is necessary to receive cards overseas.
❓ How long does delivery take after the warehouse receives my card?
Delivery varies by carrier and destination, but international shipping typically takes 5–14 business days after departure from the warehouse.
❓ Are there any items that can’t be shipped internationally?
Oversized or heavily restricted items may be limited — but most Pokémon TCG cards and standard merchandise can be shipped via Buy&Ship.
