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

Authentication Process is a JOKE! For the most part on average its a good app to sell. HOWEVER if you're looking to sell top designer, Mercari is NOT the place. I sent ALL receipts and pics of recently bought Gucci with tags and the y said is wasn't authentic with all proof of authenticity present, so I don't trust the site as much anymore cause I KNOW it was authentic. Mercurial proceeds to say don't try to list it again.

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.

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.

For sellers…when listing and item and… For sellers…when listing and item and adding a brand that is not on Mercari’s list it tells you that it’s “Pending review”. Well apparently Mercari is not reviewing these brands. I happened to see a listing from last year that still shows pending review and when i contacted mercari they do not have the ability to review the brand. Them remove that function if it does not work.
