[Thoughts] First Time on Rakuma? The Issue Where “Purchases and Purchase Requests Are Restricted” on Initial Use

I made a mistake with the update time—mixed up PM and AM (*’ω’*)
I need to find a gap in the market…
Rakuma, which I’ve been avoiding without trying…in an era when Mercari reigns supreme. Who even uses this?

I have a flea market alert app installed…
and occasionally—rarely—something that makes you go “Wow~Really~?” pops up.

You can buy it in one shot…

If you have a Rakuten account, it’s faster.
But when you actually try to make a purchase…

“Purchases and Purchase Requests Are Restricted”? What?

Why? How come? I couldn’t find a clear answer even after searching.
I figured I probably need to verify my identity…so I checked my account page.

From the My Page menu, I updated my settings and personal information.

You need to attach an ID document as a file and send it.
In my case, I attached my driver’s license and sent it. It was approved the next day (I sent it at night and it was approved the next evening), and I was able to make a purchase without any issues (^_-)-☆

Yahoo Auctions and Rakuma alike are nowhere near Mercari…but maybe that’s the opportunity

If you’re stuck, give it a try.
Honestly, with this “Purchases and Purchase Requests Are Restricted” message, you’d just stop using it…
