Mercari

After almost a year and a half of being a Mercari user, with 288 positive reviews and excellent comments, Mercari suspended my account and immediately after my deposit direct month ago. I understand the reason, although it seems to me exaggerated. I do not want to belong to the site, it is not loyal, it does not provide good service to the client.The problem is that it does not want to return my refundIt, is absurd that because for a long time I passed my refund to my bank account, sending it and receiving merchandise and never had a problem. I've read the app reviews, I'm sorry I did not do it before. Today Mercari kept my refund. Although I always kept in touch, I gave them the requested information, I NEVER got an answer. No adviser contacted me. I want to know who is responsible for supervising the cases. I hope for a prompt and effective response. His procedure is not constitutional. I just want my 200 dollars back. I put a lot of time, dedicatin, and effort on them.

If someone or a group of friends with different selling handles is selling the same item your selling they will gang up on you and report your item as "prohibited" and get your item removed... hence taking out the competition. I've seen this over and over. I also believe that employees of Mercari non existent customer service sell on the Mercari Platform and if you sell the same item for less your account will magically get terminated and Mercari will keep the money in processing that you have earned. To get your money you will have to file a complaint with the FTC and BBB and your money will eventually get released.

I had purchase jewerly. Seller ask me give more shipping. I pay more. Two days she want more money. She telling me off your address is wrong.im not ship it. I can't email her she had it cancel. I tell her she wrote address down wrong.my address is there.im afraid buy. Sellers won't ship they have high stars.it is rip off.

I only started using this website a few weeks ago. I bought a dress without asking the seller about the material of the dress, which might I add was not listed. Well I received the dress and it was a horrible nightmare. It was made of the cheapest material and looked nothing like the dress advertised for sale. I contacted Mercari and was told they will respond in 1-2 days. 30 minutes later Mecari responded with NO REFUND WILL BE GRANTED. Not even a credit nothing. The worst customer service ever. They don't stand by the merchandise that's advertised on there website... BIG lesson learned!

Don't waste your time with this company! Customer service is horrible! They will ignore your emails or take 17 plus hours to reply. They are a Japan company so I think there's an issue with time difference and communication or lack there of. They kick you off if a customer claims you are selling unauthentic items, regardless if you have proof of authenticity. That's the only way a customer can return something is by stating it's unauthentic. You can give the codes to the manufacturer and they can tell you if an item is authentic or not, even if you give Mercari a receipt or a letter from the manufacturer, they don't care and allow them to send a new and sealed item that was opened by the buyer back. I filed a claim with the BBB because they weren't responding to my messages and three days later they shut my account down. I have enough proof to take them to court, but why bother! I prefer to just inform people of them instead! Don't waste your time with them, selling or buying!

REPORT THEM TO IC3.gov or stopfakes.gov. They need to be shut down!
Ordered a "Lenola sweater" It is a cheap knock off. No tag inside the sweater except one that says, "Made in China." Says you can return if you message them within three days. NO WAY TO MESSAGE THEM. They have no intention of letting you return anything! I honestly wonder if their sellers are all fake too just to sell knock off items!

Another word of caution from the many here to stay away from mercari. This service is a complete rip off and they will steal your money. Stay away from this diceptive company and spread the word around to everyone you know.

They stand between you and the seller and when there is a problem with seller no service to back you up. I bought a computer and it had a p as sword on it and I couldn't contact the seller and could get in touch with Mercari service. Lesson learned and taught.

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.

Seller CCellison sent me fake Louis Vuitton purse. I was lucky enough to be refunded, but if you click "item received" or rate seller your item is no longer able to be returned. They're still letting user ccellison sell on the site when she is clearly a fraud. There is no way she couldn't have known the purse she sent was fake. It even said "Rackaged in France"

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.

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.

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.

Every seller has GREAT reviews because you can't review them if you are unhappy with your purchase and want to return the item. Over half of the coins I tried to purchase were fakes. I couldn't rate any of the sellers because I returned the coins. Every ine of the sellers had great ratings!

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.

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!

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!

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!

I order a pair of Nike and they were suppose to be 9 men's but turned out they are 10.5 men's /9 women's. I asked for a refund and they said no that fulfilled their commitment. That's bull$#*! when they sold the wrong size shoes. Now I am stuck with them. STAY OFF THIS SITE. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY

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 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.
