The same product-image field can contain a filename or a URL
If images were uploaded to Mercari Shops first, the CSV can refer to a filename such as `sample.jpg`. If a directly linked image URL is available, that URL can also be entered in the product image field.
The checker therefore validates URL-like values as URLs and other values as expected jpg/jpeg/png filenames.
Product images stop at image 20
Mercari Shops documents product image fields through `商品画像名_20`. Adding more numbered columns does not create an unlimited image list.
The checker now flags more than 20 image columns and explicit headers such as `商品画像名_21`.
A well-formed URL is not proof that the image is usable
A local browser check cannot establish whether the remote URL is public, actually returns an image, or will remain available. Whitespace and malformed URL syntax are errors, while reachability remains a service-side check.
Repeated filenames or URLs can be intentional reuse, so duplicates are warnings rather than automatic failures.
For local-file workflows, check the upload batch too
If your CSV references previously uploaded filenames, use the Mercari Shops image upload preflight checker first for format, 8 MB-per-file, 1 GB batch size and duplicate filenames.
