Mercari is the best so far!
As of the end of February 2022, Mercari is the most popular. I also sell 3 stuff / day.
Mercari is the top so far, over 20 million people / month
Next to Mercari, Paypay FURIMA and RAKUMA each have 5 million people / month.
Paypay FURIMA is a new app that was created in the fall of 2019, but it is reported that the number of RAKUMA users has surpassed in September 2021.
Mercari has a wide range of users, from housewives to students to uncles.
Everything sells, so it is highly evaluated
You can sell anything as long as you follow the rules.
Paypay FURIMA is the strongest when it comes to sales commissions!
The sales commission is Paypay FURIMA> RAKUMA> Yahoo auction> Mercari.

Selling FURIMA site Personal impression
Among the four that I currently use in the main, Mercari, Paypay FURIMA, RAKUMA, and Yahoo auction
Which site sells the fastest?
Mercari is the best so far.
However, in the case of book listing, Paypay FURIMA is the fastest.
Paypay FURIMA is an application provided by Yahoo, and it is linked with Yahoo Auction, so it may be easy to search. I think.
The latest business books are often listed and sold within a minute.
Also, in the case of genres such as interior miscellaneous goods and accessories that are easily liked by housewives, it may be quicker.
Probably, there are a certain number of people who are flowing in from Rakuten's search page.

By increasing the number of times you use the free market, you will gradually understand the strengths and weaknesses of each genre and application that have strengths.
I have very little experience with RAKUMA, but I am often surprised that products that cannot be sold at all in Mercari are sold at RAKUMA in an instant.
That's why we can't stop using FURIMA.
