US inventory does not establish eligibility
Mercari US says it cannot verify international, prepaid or VoIP phone numbers. Its phone check is available during sign-up or under Profile, Trust & Verification, and uses a four-digit code. Multi-country Mercari stock on SMS4U does not establish compliance with those US rules.
Identify your market domain and app before reading requirements. One inventory product does not mean every Mercari market accepts the same number types. SMS4U receives texts, not the call alternative or other platform qualification checks.

Japan has separate mobile-number rules
Mercari Japan excludes landlines and numbers beginning with 050, and may require SMS again for login or particular features. A tablet does not remove the phone requirement. Its international help describes a ten-minute code validity and temporary login restriction after repeated wrong entries. Those rules do not extend the lifetime of an SMS4U order.
For Japanese stock, read the Japan number guide, then check the actual Mercari input and SMS option. A mobile-looking prefix alone cannot prove that every account, purpose or transaction requirement has been met.
Plan access throughout the transaction
Shipping, receipt and after-sales contact can outlast the first code. If retaining purchases or sales, arrange continued control of your login channels; a completed text order does not grant permanent possession of its number. Confirm unclear market restrictions with Mercari before buying.
Use the table to compare the same product. US and Japanese offers are not interchangeable evidence of market eligibility. Separate a rejected number type, a requested but missing text, an expired code and a temporary login restriction. Keep the exact prompt, avoid submitting old codes repeatedly, and never use a number to access an account belonging to someone else.
