Mercari

It's the worst app ever if they not improve the app. They suspended my account and told me that i have more than one account but I have just one account and sell for more than 400$. How the hell i need to create another account? They suspended my account for some dump stupid reason to hold my money. What a scam? Also when i contact them they just repeat the same thing and not tell me what's wrong with my account and not solve it. I have bad experience with this after it. I contact them for 2 times. First they repeat same thing second time they not answer my question. It pissed me off for holding my money

I ordered something I'm giving for a gift so was time sensitive. After not hearing anythjng for four days from seller and no shipping notifications, I cancelled order and had to find it elsewhere. Overall, super hassled and Merceri will not let you leave a review unless you actually buy it.

Cheating transactions! The calculator I bought from the company is not working properly since the screen does not display all the number. I even could not make a contact with the seller because the company close all the contact channels after 3 days of delivery.
Do not buy anything from here.

The item that I purchased was sent mistakenly sent to the billing address that was different from the shipping address. In spite of multiple email exchanges where I tried to explain that the mistake was on the seller's side and requesting to return the item, I was unable to get a single meaningful response from Mercari's customer service. They bluntly refused to consider the circumstances and accept the return. Never had I encountered such inexcusable disregard for the customers. Needless to say, I will never deal with them again. And I will strongly discourage other from making any purchases from them.

Made several purchases on Mercari with no problem. I didn't receive package as it was lost by UPS. On contacting Mercari thy accused me of giving wrong address but correct address on receipt. On filing complaint MY account was cancelled and Ihad to get refund from credit card.
BEWARE! You have NO protection from Mercari as a buyer.

If you file any type of complaint for damages, be aware that Mercari DOES NOT allow partial refunds - even if you want to keep the item, expect Mercari to have you return the product. They make no allowances for partial damages. They want you to ship broken items and the rest of the product back to the seller (wrapped better than the seller sent it to you) for a refund. I have received numerous broken items (which is the seller's fault), but Mercari makes no concessions other than to return the product and get a refund. Absolutely not customer friendly!

I purchased an item for my daughter's birthday and when it arrived, the packaging and item smelled like cigarette smoke. I attempted to return the item, and Mercari denied my return request since I could not prove the odor issue in a photo, even after the seller had confirmed with me that they lived with a smoker. Mercari allowed the seller to be paid and suggested that I "resell the item".

You cannot contact a seller before purchase to ask questions. It's a lousy set up. I would rather purchase from ebay and be able to ask questions before I buy something that is lower quality than I want.

I purchased a combo color ink toner set for my printer from a vendor on Mercari. Received just a single black toner cartridge (not even the correct type that should have been in the set) and notified the seller. Replied with "sorry" and you'll have to notify Mercari to initiate a return. Well, they have a "WITHIN 3 DAYS" return policy and I had just left on a 7 day trip. "Sorry no exceptions... have a good day!"
I reached out to the seller again, but didn't get a replay. Tried to follow up and found that I was BLOCKED and the purchase status changed to "RETURN CANCELLED".
I should ave checked their ratings before purchasing. I am surprised their rating is so high at 1.5. It should be NEGATIVE 1.5!

Bought an instrument. Was damaged in transit or broken before. Asked for return. Said I qualify. Sent me a label. Spent time to package and drive 30mins to USPS for them to tell me it's too large... asked for another shipping label and they told me to pay for it... and they'll reimburse me... that's not how a legitimate co. Pany works in my opinion. I'm already out 400 and you want me to shell a 100 out or more... I don't throw more gas on a warm fire...

Despite them claiming you can return items, when I requested a return I was denied even though the item was not as described by the seller. This was my first experience with Marcari and it will be my last.

I purchased an item and the seller waited his allotted 3 days to ship before cancelling the action. I was not given a chance to rate the seller. Then I find out if you dont rate the seller it auto rates them w 5 stars. Since i cannot rate the seller the app gets the bad rating.

Thought I would try Mercari alongside other popular Marketplaces like eBay, TCGPlayer and Facebook. I can say with 100% confidence Mercari is the worst of them all. After selling a single Pokemon card for $6, I was left with $4.73 after their fees - but it got even worse. They require tracking for everything and after paying $5.05 for the cheapest shipping option with tracking through USPS I was in the red for what should have been an incredibly simple sale. I would not recommend Mercari to any seller and am extremely disappointed by the platform.

From start to finish, Mercari as a buyer platform was a horrible experience. I was able to find and place an order but from there it was all downhill. The seller failed to send the item and it took weeks to figure out how to cancel the order and get a refund. Their help center is completed convoluted; you'll waste considerable time figuring out how to maneuver through their circular help loop. They don't even get "unsubscribe" right! No unsubscribe option included with continued emails requiring you to go back to their Contactless "help" center then, instead of a one button process to unsubscribe, you'll have to hit about 30 buttons to turn off every single type of notification they could think of. Don't go near this site if you value your time and money.

The fees that are charged to buyers and the sellers are outrageous! You don't make much money after selling and the price the buyer sees advertised goes up quiet a bit after fees and taxes. The shipping prices are more expensive than the post office and if you ship on your own, your out money if the buyer doesn't get the item within 10 days. Customer service is impossible to get ahold of and when you do they don't resolve your issue and basically say your on your own to figure out the problems. Would not recommend this site at all unless you find something you desperately need.

I am (well was) a new user to Mercari, I had sold 4 items, 3 of which were completed and the 4th was shipped. I was corresponding with a potential buyer on a large/heavy item that I had for sale. She and I were negotiating pricing via DM and in the middle of our discussion all my posts were suddenly deleted and my account was limited. After asking 4 separate times over a 3 week period as to what led to this, no one would/could give me an answer. It was only after threatening them with a lawsuit to release my funds that did they finally do so. I have yet to learn what I did that "violated" their policies. I wouldn't sell again on Mercari if it was the last online selling platform on earth. The last person that emailed me made a snarky/curt response: "if you return to this platform, your funds will be held indefinitely". To which I put them on notice that if they used my private information for any reason, I would prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

I purchased a tote, received email it was purchased, received email item would ship next day, another email about the shipping costs which were advertised as free, then queenfancypants the seller cancels the order. First and last time I use this site.

I have sold on Mercari for a couple of years and lately the buyers have gone nuts. Sell an item at 7pm on Thursday ship it Friday morning at 9 am, it arrives at 8 am Monday morning (71 business day hours from order) and the guy gives me 1 star because he wanted it faster! Geez! Mercari won't fix the rating and suggested I mail faster in the future. Like how have Superman deliver it?

Literally zero customer service. Please beware this website is full of scammers and liars both selling and buying on this website, and there is nobody to turn to for assistance. If you want to lose out on items and/or money this app is the one for you!

This site is complete bull$#*!! They are a fraud and a scam! Their customer service is complete $#*! and they will do everything to screw you over! Go anywhere else, buy and sell locally is need be, but this site is TRASH

Worst company. Literally had my dad in the hospital with pancreatic cancer, received a broken train the seller admitted he never tested before selling. Said he felt bad with my dad and wanted to refund me. Mercari had to approve. Said they would as a "one time courtesy" if I sent pictures. So I did, of the train and of my dad in the hospital holding the son the train was for, said they showed the train was delivered and won't refund. They don't care about you. Good luck.

Worst. They took my money. I paid for an item using their webpage and when the seller didn't ship the item and I asked for a refund, all they could they me was to wait. They literally stole my money. Avoid using this website.

I listed my item for sale and included pictures. Buyer received the item but asked for the sale to be cancelled due to "packaging issues". Mercari cancelled my item and let the buyer keep it and refused to provide pics of any issue. The buyer straight up scammed me and Mercari let them steal from me. Will never use again.
