Mercari'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.

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.

False Advertising I purchased a necklace listed as an authentic Tiffany and Co. brand. In January of this year. It is now April and the silver on the necklace is tarnished. Because their policy is 15 days you have to make a complaint they can’t do anything about it at all. Not even investigate and message the seller about false advertising. A real Tiffany necklace will probably not tarnish at 15 days but did at 4 months. Ridiculous. I do not trust Mercari anymore as it appears there is no way for them to regulate the sellers items and advertising

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.

I 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!!
