Mercari launched m department, a standalone marketplace for professionally vetted secondhand luxury goods and refurbished electronics, on 14 July with 88 merchants at launch — a 'third market' between new and open peer-to-peer resale that puts Japan's dominant flea-market app into more direct competition with the authentication-led resale specialists it once bypassed.
