Mercari 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.

All of the sudden I could not send a… All of the sudden I could not send a message or offer to a seller on an item I wanted. I didn't really care for that as I had not done anything wrong or inappropriate. I had made a comment on the boots that they needed new soles, even though the seller listed as in good condition. After a month + that comment was not approved. Today, when trying to make an offer I was informed I could not contact the seller or make comments. So I deleted my account in response. Good luck with your business model as it certainly put me off. Deleting your app and leaving this review. Stan Horstman in Norcal

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.

Scammers all the way! As a seller and buyer I will never use them again. Selling, unjustified doubling of shipping charges after sale is complete. This is called bait and switch fraud in any other context. Zero customer service. Kafka-esque circular non communication. Their new return policy is absurd. Buying, their new fees are as absurd as their new return policy.

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.
