BEWARE Mercari does NOT support… BEWARE Mercari does NOT support sellers. If a buyer lies and says you sent them a rock instead of a gold necklace, Mercari will side with the buyer and the seller will be at a loss. No matter what the seller does, not matter what evidence the seller has, they do not care about the sellers… because they make money off the buyers. Also, their buyer fees are super high. Mercari does not care… I repeat, they do not care about sellers at all!!! Save yourself a headache, your money, and your product and go to Poshmark instead, they are fair and treat buyers and sellers with respect and dignity.

I 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.

Seller beware! Seller beware!! I sold an authentic perfume which I have a receipt for proving it came from an authorized retailer. Upon receiving it the buyer claimed it was fake based only on it "not smelling right" and asked Mercari for a refund/return. Mercari said they were initiating a "review". There is no way to contact Mercari or add your side of the story to the review. Within a couple hours they ruled that the item was "not as listed" despite buyer images looking exactly like my listing images so clearly it was the same item I was advertising for sale. Mercari did not reach out to me for my evidence, side of the story, or proof of authenticity, which I would have happily provided. So the buyer is returning it after using some of it. I am out the cost of my packaging materials, and now have an item with less product in it that has been deemed inauthentic by Mercari despite being 100% legit. Glad it was an inexpensive item that I learned my lesson on.

I have used Mecari for 3 years I have used Mecari for 3 years now and have about 200 purchases from them. The biggest problem I have with this platform is the buffering I experience on a weekly basis where I can't even get in. Secondly they just added fees which makes buying more expensive. The products are great, the platform needs work. If there is a problem, there's nobody to contact and believe me, I have tried. I have slowed down my buying because adding fees to me is just wrong. They are making an added profit off of what I buy which before, there weren't any of these fees. End of the day, I think they are cutting their nose off to spite their face. I've spent money with them, now not so much anymore.

Be very careful with the Mercari… Be very careful with the Mercari platform itself when buying or selling. The company’s A.I. Bot scans ads and transactions for activity that could be ‘construed’ as a violation thus prohibited conduct. The system will then simply shut-down your account and attempt to freeze your funds. - Escalating the situation to a human/customer service has no bearing or influence at all. - It almost seems like this is one of Mercari’s revenue streams is to shut-down account and keep your funds. I highly recommend using other well known and trustworthy platforms instead.
