Mercari

I ordered something on here paid for it, it was taken out of my account but never received it you can't get ahold of anyone to help buy from some where else

I have sold over 3,000 items on Mercari, and another 3,000 on Poshmark/Vinted/other selling sites. I typically preferred Mercari because of the cheaper shipping options which enticed buyers, as well as a lower commission taken by the app (10% versus 20% by poshmark). For the most part I've had an overall okay experience with the app, when things go smoothly, but when they don't, they REALLY don't. The app ALWAYS favors the buyer, no matter the circumstance. I sold a pair of leggings, photographed every angle and a buyer told me that I told them a different color, even when we had zero communication about the color. She simply just wasn't happy with it, so they let her return it. Another buyer bought a lot of 50 items from me, one of them had a flaw, and she returned them, not returning all of my items with it. Customer service is absolutely horrible and takes days to respond, but if you are the seller, consider yourself at a loss because they never, ever take the sellers side. I've even had people cut holes in items I've sent them, and Mercari allows them to return it. I've lost so much product and money on this site, that I can't afford to sell anything more with them. Mercari is the Walmart and Poshmark is the Target (a little pricier but well worth not having to deal with people who are cheap and trashy). Taking my business elsewhere and I suggest every one does the same.

Bottom line: i had a 40+ positive rating. Some dummy in their office agreed to allow someone to return something to me that was described 8000% accurately, and refunded the scammer $800 prior to the items being returned. I video taped and posted on YouTube the opening of the returned packages. One was empty, missing a $675 bracelet. I thought uploading a full youtube video of myself picking up the packages, opening them etc AND pictures would be proof enough for them to protect me, the seller, and reimburse me. NOPE. INSTEAD they said I didnt provide enough proof and took away my selling privileges - because THEY WERE WRONG / MADE A MISTAKE. I posted a YouTube video that can be observed by looking up Mercari scammer rip off and I will be posting many more and taking any legal action I can against this company

My one purchase experience via Mercari was very poor. Product was misrepresented, domestic shipping took 4 weeks, Mercari service non-existent. I will never again purchase through this vendor.

I wanted to close my account, meaning delete, erase everything. Mecari WOULD NOT allow me to delete it because I had 70 CENTS in my balance. They demanded I spend it or sale more because I could only close at ZERO BALANCE (and $10 was the max withdrawal). They have NO customer support phone number so messages went back and forth and all they offered was "just delete anything you have for sale" (all 35 items individually each!)!

Not too good for sellers or buyers
The sole of my boots came off the 2nd. Time I wore them. Mercari policy says you can not return them after you've given a review or 3 days past the date you receive the item. Also, there's literally no way to contact Mercari, even through email.!?
Thankfully the seller was really cool and helpful. They told me they had to reach them on. Facebook messenger. They were so nice about it I looked into shoe glue and decided to fix them myself. They fit well which is difficult for me.
So again, if you find a. Good seller then it's worth it. If not, stick to other selling sites.
I've also heard it's easy for sellers to not get paid on that site. They only get paid when the seller leaves the review. It's bizarre. It might work if people could contact them.

Just please for your own sanity stay away from this site, let go, ebay, offer up, poshmark are wayyyy better after you ship your item to your buyer you have to wait until later the item is delivered OK so now I can get paid right? NOPE I was wrong lol I have to beg for a review from the buyer if they don't reply I have to wait 4 days after delivery to now ask a member from support to "investigate" buyer and they can submit a review for them on behalf of them, now after that they reply a week later to release your funds but wait lol its available on there site so you can shop on their site if not you can ask for a bank transfer which takes another week the point is I'm still waiting for payment and my item was delivered on 03/04 please I give details because it's so not worth it and non existing customer care

I purchased my items 20 days ago from a seller named Jessica Dont buy from her I think shes a scammer she takes the money and you never here from her again. The site is very hard to get around and its almost impossible to get a hold of customer service. The number on the site is no longer in service when you click on something it takes you no where. Unless you have money to throw away DONT SHOP HERE! I have been shopping online since 1999 and never had a problem until now. I even shop China and I havent had this kind of issue. I didnt lose allot of money this time but I hate a thief so I had to do this review. As a matter of fact I will be contacting the BBB tomorrow.

Mercari is a hypocrite they sell dangerous products like fake make up for example the Kylie Jenner lip kit anything to do with Kylie Jenner we are making 10% with every sale but claim you are not to alarm to sell these type of products if you sell something on there and its legit somehow they screw you if I fire claim something thats not true they go ahead and refund the money to the buyer You lose out on your products for example I sold a brand new pair of sneakers with tags and its original box by her claimed they were ripped Mercari granted them their money back And told I have to discard the sneakers so I lost out on a pair of brand new sneakers never received any money

Bought an item, the dumb seller sent the wrong item, I cancelled the order they threatened to not return my money if I left a negative review, I screen shot the email from them, don't buy from them, not worth the Hassle, they wanted my to wait for them to return my money, it was already 1 week of waiting on the item, I called my bank the same day, I did sent the item back, buyer be aware, they are not worth it

They refuse to refund my money on a vase that was broken in shipment. They delayed the process until we were past the time to request a refund then stopped contact. The seller tried to help...

Wish I could give them ZERO stars. I am a seller on Mercari, have over 400 reviews all 5 starts, not a single 4 star or less reviews. They closed my account saying i sold unauthentic items. Seriously? I have over 400 reviews and you guys think i sell fake stuff. They listen to those fake accounts where they offer you 70% less for your items that you are selling amd you dont accept they report your account. And stupid Mercati fall for it. GARBAGE COMPANY. NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS AT ALL. IF YOU TRY TO SELL.YOU DESIGNER STUFF, RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. AGAIN GARBAGE COMPANY. HOPE THEY GO out of business

HORRIBLE SERVICE! I have had two transactions with Mercari... AND BOTH WERE TERRIBLE! When you contact their customer service for assistance... CRICKETS. NO HELP AT ALL! Tried it twice... THERE WILL NOT BE THIRD TRY. THEY LOST MY BUSINESS! I WOULD SUGGEST USING ANOTHER VENDOR FOR PURCHASES! It's all good... until it's NOT!... AND IT'S NOT!

Mercari will take your money for made up fees that are not legitimate! Avoid using this site. They are dishonest and you will lose your money and your items!

They don't want to listen to you. I bought alot off them. I always paid with credit cards. 3 actually. I have 9 orderes that they are not going to give me my money for cause I don't have a checking account. They suspended me for canceling a order cause the buyer has a right to cancel if the seller doesn't ship with in 5days. I have that in wrighting. What can I do to get my money back.in have credit cards receipt that's all an emails from them that I paid but never received.
