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.

Bad shipping services Ordered a robe 6 days ago tomorrow will be 7 days and still have not received it. Now I know it was $3.99 shipping. Will not order again from Mercari. It is $3.99 Shipping & Payments $3.99 3+ days from Virginia and then it has a processing fee and another Fee. Done with Mercari!

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.

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.
