GBI don’t like Mercari anymore I don’t like Mercari anymore because I noticed some extra fees. I was purchasing an item this week and noticed how the price increased when checking out due to some junk fees. I noticed that Mercari now charges fees for transaction, and payment processing, which increases the item’s price a bit much. On the other hand, other platforms, such as eBay, and Etsy, only charge sales tax and shipping because the transaction fee is paid by the sellers and not the buyer. I left Mercari. What a pitty cuz I just to buy on Mercarí.

GBMercari's New Policy Sucks :)! I've had Mercari for a few months now. Purchased and sold. I'm quite honestly always on the app, looking for certain things to buy. I have only purchased one thing since the new policy because they are actually stealing from the users. Item was $50 and ended up paying $67. Shipping was only $3.99 of that cost. Outrageous fees are the norm that just randomly change. It's absolutely horrendous and a scummy platform. Use eBay or literally anything else at this point. It's not worth it until something changes.

GBThe online pawn shop with service and processing fees!!!!! Mercari use to be the best place to buy and save some money. This processing fees and service fees defeat the purpose of buying a used cheaper item. Today I wanted to buy an item that was $300 dollars because brand new in Amazon was $400 dollars, anyhow upon check out my total balance was $375 dollars. At this price I'm not saving anything might as well buy it new with warranty for almost the same price. I don't know who in their administration thought it was a good idea to shove all these fees to the buyer face when it use to be a thing for every seller a "service fee". which made sense. I'm glad there's other shopping platforms online for example ebay, offer up, poshmark, Amazon etc..., because Mercari is a thing from the past, and they did it all to themselves. It was fun while it lasted.

GBI have twice purchased items on Mercari… I have twice purchased items on Mercari & I didn’t receive either one. The first time was many years ago & the seller immediately refunded me, admitting she had been unable to send the item. For my recent purchase, the seller is not responding & since it was over 4 days since the order was marked fulfilled by her, Mercari won’t help me. YOU ONLY FOUR DAYS!!

GBMercari frequently updates its… Mercari frequently updates its policies, such as adjusting shipping prices, and initially required sellers to manually update their listings to reflect these changes, which seemed questionable. Lately, Mercari has stopped charging sellers selling fees, instead shifting the cost to buyers. This change has made buyers less willing to pay for service fees on top of shipping and taxes, resulting in fewer sales. Additionally, Mercari now charges sellers a $2 fee for withdrawing any amount of balance, every.single. time, which is excessive!! When buyers stop making purchases on Mercari, sellers don't make sales, which means Mercari doesn't earn any revenue. Bad decision Mercari.
