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.

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.

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.

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

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!!
