FAQ
Do I have to live in Osaka to apply?+
No — anyone based anywhere in Japan can apply. Listing Osaka as your main city just makes it easier for Osaka-based buyer requests to find you.
Is it really free? Any charges later?+
Registering, listing and staying listed are all free. Michi never charges shoppers a fee or subscription — your income is the proxy fee buyers pay you directly.
Do I need to speak English to take orders?+
Not necessarily. Many buyers use translation tools — as long as you can communicate product details, price and shipping clearly, you’re fine.
