Does GINZA XIAOMA have a secondhand dealer license in Japan? How long has it been in business? Which company operates it? Does it have physical stores you can visit?
To assess whether GINZA XIAOMA is reliable, there are four things you can verify yourself: the license number, operating company, physical store address, and payment timing. If all four can be clearly verified, this is more reliable than simply looking at promotional claims.

Yes. XIAOMA's secondhand dealer license number is Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission No. 304381506931.
In Japan, buying and selling secondhand goods, as well as consignment transactions, fall under the scope of secondhand dealer business and require a license from the Public Safety Commission (Aichi Prefectural Police: 古物営業法の解説). Therefore, checking the license number is one of the first steps when determining whether a store can legally conduct buyouts and consignment transactions.
XIAOMA has specialized in Hermès for over 10 years and has authenticated more than 2 million luxury items in total.
The authentication process consists of three stages: checking condition, authenticity, and accessories. It is usually completed within 10 to 20 minutes. Rare pieces, special leathers, or items requiring additional verification may require a longer assessment, generally completed within 24 hours.
For more on what cumulative authentication volume means when evaluating authenticity, see “Why Is Professional Authentication So Important?” (https://ginzaxiaoma.com/zh-CN/blog/professional-appraisal).
