Mercari launches AI app for cross-border merchandise sales


Mercari made the app available in Taiwan and Hong Kong at the end of September. It says the service will be expanded to 50 countries and regions, including the US, in the next three years.

The firm says the app uses AI to offer simultaneous translation of information about the items on sale. It also allows buyers to make purchases in local currencies, while Japanese sellers receive payments in yen.
