Mercari

Received an item that didn't work. I tried to return with a week and they said it was already rated so it couldn't be returned. I never rated the item or the seller. They rated the seller themselves in 3 days of when it was delivered. They send broken items and expect people to rate in 72 hours. They don't give a reasonable amount of time to try the product to get the chance to return it. They do this on purpose to stick the buyer with having to pay for junk. I'll be reporting this to BBB and looking into small claims court. They should give a reasonable amount of time for reruns. 30 days seems standard, however they know they are selling junk, so they don't give that. Buyers should be aware and never shop this company. They should be reported.

Ordered perfume from a seller, I was so excited to receive it so sprayed it as soon as it arrived only to be completed disappointed and offended as it smelled of alcohol then diluted fragrance. I contacted both Mercari and the seller. Of COURSE the seller was not willing to take back her disgusting bottle of alcohol/ whatever the hell else was in there. Mercari was of absolute NO HELP. I explained to them sellers lose nothing over a return they get their item back as a buyer we get our money taken with useless or in authentic JUNK it's really sad that there is no protection for buyers since it's our money and time we put into this business.

I had 5 stars 1300 ads 1000 items sold. Closed my account for selling fake stuff, NOT TRUE! They never responded to me & i sent countless messages. If i was going to sell fake stuff i wouldnt have taken the time to post 1300 ads. THAT TAKES ALONG TIME!
Mercari is run by idiots. Ive sold for 5 years mow. They will have u runninmg around in circles. Bottom line they dont care.

I was scammed by a seller on this site: Mylo & Coco's Finds. They sold me a SONY cassette tape recorder that did not play, did not record, would not even move a tape forward or backward. I then found that I could not log onto the Mercari site to make a complaint. The site said my password was wrong. When I reset the password, they said that one was also wrong. After a week of email and phone calls, they finally told me they'd give me "store credit" to use on the Mercari site - which I can't log onto. Ha ha ha. I will be throwing the tape recorder in the garbage.

Company claimed that I listed prohibited Baseball Cards, They were in fact 1989 Topps/Bowman Reprint HOFer Cards. I noted in my listings that they were Reprints and listed them for $2-5. They suspended my account and are holding $600 of my past sales balance. My satisfaction rate was 100 % positive and I had 75 Followers in two months. My balance was going to be used to visit two sick Family members in Florida. Please stay away from this platform. Total SCAM!

Thought I was purchasing a Juicy Couture bag and was sent a Lancome gift tote (you know the kind you get free with purchase). I tried to reach out to Mecari, they don't give you a way to contact them. I had to get the email through my PayPal account, the email was undeliverable. The bag was $30 bucks so not really worth my time to fight it. I just hope that if anyone has an issue you dont need help from Mecari. I can't get a hold of the seller. Buyer beware!

The comment by Mercari is an outright lie. I have weeks of emails showing that Mercari doesn't allow you to return an item no matter what (now they're claiming they do which is as bogus as it is laughable) and I have copies of emails where I show proof that a seller sold me a knock-off Kyllie Cosmetics lip kit (which they claim is authentic) and Mercari only stating that i can return it. Nothing is done against the seller who racked up a whopping 500+ reviews of people complaining of knockoffs sales (I sent over a dozen emails on this topic and Mercari just responds with form replies). Not a single ad was deleted. I ended up reporting Mercari, with copies of all the communications, to the FBI cyber crimes unit. They don't care if someone sells a knockoff as long as they get their profit!

Well, what would you do when you are blocked on ebay for being rude, paranoia minded and weirdo. Of course you will go to Mercari and start harrassing buyers. Most of the sellers on Mercari are basically the banned former ebay sellers and they are banned for a reason. Period.

Mercari protects unethical sellers. I purchased an item that was listed as new. When I receive it was broken and clearly not new. I put in a request to return and it was denied because I couldn't prove my case! Clearly the seller listed it as new I sent pictures from within minutes of delivery and the burden was on me? NEVER USE THIS SITE

DO NOT USE THIS APP OR SITE FOR PURCHASES

I purchased a item listed as NEW. It came plainly as used without the box, instructions and parts needed to use it correctly. I contacted the seller and they replied that they would send the parts. Mercari has a 72 hour window for returns that I was unaware of until the moment the seller stated. Its past 72 hours so there is nothing I can do about it.

Mercari also AUTOMATICALLY gives the seller a 5 start rating if 72 hours passes and the buyer has not yet rated the seller. You can't change this. The seller waited to respond to me until after the 72 hours passed knowing that he could get away with this and scammed me for $137.50 and I know have a useless item.

Mercari's politely, suck it up buttercup and only resolve was to will give a $20 coupon good for an item over $100 if I used it in the next 30 days.

Now they want me to spend another $80 to help me feel better about losing $134.50. As if I'm that stupid to try again.

I was a Seller and for my first go using Mercari, listed a Brahmin handbag that I had purchased for $125, on sale. Mercari platform forced me to list it for $50 with auto price reduction so by the time I had a buyer, the price was $40. A buyer purchased the bag and I kept getting daily notices to mail it within 3 days, which I did but I didn't know I was suppose to click a button that stated I'd mailed the bag. Two days later, the buyer cancelled the sale. No big deal, I thought, I'd just relist it but the bag was never sent back to me. Two weeks went by and I had to dig all around the Mercari Help area to find out that I had 'buyer protection'. There should be a phone number to be able to contact them, but there is, except it's 'not a working number.' Mercari tried to blame me because I hadn't clicked on the 'confirm shipment'. I have used Poshmark in the past and I guess I'll have to go back to them because the stuff I'm selling ain't cheap and I don't like being cheated!

I used this app for over a year and never had a problem with anything UNTIL I uploaded a vintage AUTHENTIC Louis Vuitton wallet and it got taken down because I did not include a picture of the date code! This listing was taken down multiple times and my privileges were suspended each and every time! My frustration is due to the fact that the item was authentic, I emailed them to do their research about authentic vintage goods, they do NOT need a date code to be real! Not only that but they deleted my account after I sent this email! P.S. They are extremely hard to reach! F*ck this company.

I recently gave Mercari a try. I bought something, then a few days later, sold something. Still waiting for the item I bought. I tried going into my account to respond to the person who purchased item I sold and their system keeps telling me my password is wrong. I've changed the password twice to the one their system recommended and still can't get in. I tried sending a message via their Help center and keep getting an error message. I tried calling and they have a recording saying no one is available due to Covid. Apparently their system is down and they're not even trying to deal with it. I will never deal with this company again. Still waiting to see if I'll get the item I bought and will get paid for the item I sold and shipped. This company just may be a complete scam.

I have sold many items on there and they are the worst. Their customer service is non existant. The buyers will attempt to haggle you down to pennies where you are paying to ship to them. I CLEARY have it stated where I ship 4-7 days. I have people trying to cancel transactions because I getout of bed and run to the post office to ship at 2 am. When you need their help you are out of luck. The people who buy are scammers and Mercari is on their side. Avoid this company at all costs.

WILL NEVER use Mercari again. They withheld my funds from me (300 dollars) and then later deleted my account because I would not provide them with my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER for "ID verification". At least give people their money back if you are going to shut down their account. What a scam! And so upsetting because I had bought and received so many nice things on this site. Will eventually be contacting BBB about this because this is a scam site and I want my money they refused to send back to me. I can't believe people are still using this app. I would rate it no stars if I could. I can't believe they ask for info like this. I hope no one is giving it to them because that is something you never give out. Especially to a selling app! What a joke.
