Apparently "Tipo" is the Identification Document Type:
The "Cedula de Extranjeria is is apparently given to visitors who are staying over 3 months, so as a regular tourist, I can't enter any meaningful data in that field.
After entering "1234...", I was forced to register a Colombian phone number (which I don't have, given the ridiculous registration required to get one, when I already use Google Fi), so Mercadolibre lost another customer.
(the '+57' is not changeable)
UPDATE: I used a friend's Colombia number. Now Mercadolibre wants a PHOTO OF MY CEDULA. They can sod off :)

*** Update a few days later, I sent a message on their chat explaining my situation and they accepted my payment. Seems that although they are set up for S.America, they can process foreign cards if you explain. MY INITIAL POST ~ Strangely i was in Colombia Feb 2020 and ordered something from these guys to be delivered to my hotel and had no problems. Now, trying the same from Melbourne, I have your problem. I managed to get through that only to find I needed some document of change and the Mercado Libre is only Libre for Colombians, they only accept local accounts. So like you it's a sod off. I'll order from Amazon and post it myself !
