4 ways Mercari is changing local shopping

Garage sales, estate sales, local classifieds – they’re all popular for treasure hunting within your local community. And supporting local sellers does a lot of good for your community, while helping keep things out of landfills. But, shopping from within your neighborhood can also be time consuming. That’s why we created Mercari Local. We’ve reimagined the local buying experience, and here are 4 reasons why we think this approach to local shopping is a game changer.

1. Save time

Now, you can browse items from nearby sellers and get straight-to-your-door delivery allowing you to save time. 

2. No cash, no car, no problem

No need to clear your trunk space or head to the ATM in order to score that amazing desk lamp or good-as-new microwave. Just set a delivery time and pay through the Mercari app. Your pre-loved find will be at your doorstep in a snap. ‍

3. Save big on bigger stuff

Looking for a gently used bulky item like a stroller or end table? Shipping bigger goods can cost a pretty penny. Now you can feel good about keeping unwanted items out of landfills without busting your budget.‍

4. Enjoy now, pay later

Want to spread out your payments over time? With Mercari Local, you can pay in 4 easy installments with Zip – no need to wait until payday and risk missing out on that one-of-a-kind find.
