How does JapanScanner work?

Four simple steps from choosing what to look for to hitting buy - JapanScanner handles the watching and notifying for you.

  1. Step 1

    Pick a marketplace and keyword

    Choose Mercari, Yahoo Auctions, Rakuma or PayPay Flea Market, enter a keyword (or use category suggestions), and set your price range and filters.

  2. Step 2

    We keep watching for you

    JapanScanner scans the marketplaces at your plan’s interval, filters out defective and junk listings, and scores how good each deal is against market prices.

  3. Step 3

    Get instant alerts

    New listings and great deals are sent via Telegram, Email or browser push notifications. You can pick a separate channel for great deals.

  4. Step 4

    Open the listing and buy

    Tap a listing to open the original product page, or go through the buying service you chose (where supported). You log in and place the order on that service yourself.

JapanScanner is an independent monitoring and notification tool. It does not buy on your behalf and does not store your logins for marketplaces or buying services.
