Additional info
Mercari Japan has recently overhauled their website, so I believe that this is the reason.
If I manually go to Mercari in a web browser and inspect the page source, I cannot find items-box-name (Reference: Line 30 here).
Apparently the page has changed so much that it broke the RSSHub route.

Note:
Mercari has two sites, one is US and another one is JP.
This issue is referring to the JP site, and from RSSHub source code, the route is also designed for JP site.
Previously JP site uses https://www.mercari.com/jp/, but now it uses https://jp.mercari.com/.
I believe that it would be a great idea to clarify this in the RSSHub documentation, so that users will know that this route is for the JP site.
This is not a duplicated issue

👍 Thanks for the issue, please follow the Issue template, RSS proposal template or Feature proposal template. Otherwise the issue will be closed.
https://jp.mercari.com/categories does not seem to work properly, however, probably my limited network condition should be to blame 😅
I can visit https://jp.mercari.com/categories in a web browser:

It is not working for me too, either with category, brand or search. The website works fine though.
Since the route has been removed after 103aae2, perhaps the issue label can be changed from "RSS bug" to "RSS proposal"?
