If i could give a negative number I would.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Buyer claims an item they bought was watered down. Impossible to do.

It' was a bundle deal. She wants a refund. I tried calling mercari the phone number is a scam. They put you on hold for 3 minutes, claims you were on hold for 10 minutes and hangs up on you.

Can't get a hold of a real person. No legitimate email for them. I will be deleting my account with them and warn others once you have a problem you will be screwed.

So you feel helpless when you have no backup from mercari. Can't dispute the claim.

User's recommendation: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MERCARI.

Mercari - Refund

I sold a BBW 3 wick candle holder to a buyer. While it was in the shipping process, the buyer tried to cancel.

However, it had already been shipped. Once they received it they then claimed the item was damaged during shipping and wanted to return it. Mercari said I was not eligible for shipping protection even though I followed all of their guidelines. So they initiated a return.

It said the buyer would return the item. I could see that the current status was waiting for buyer to return package and when it is in- transit I would get a shipping tracking number. A few days went by and it is no longer showing up anywhere in my account as being sold or anything. It randomly just disappeared.

After digging deeper it shows the buyer was refunded without returning my item to me! I have sent several messages concerning this issue with no help. Calling their customer service has been a waste of time because it just hangs up on you. If this was a couple dollar item I would cut my losses and move on but this was an almost $100 item.

Why should the buyer get a refund and get to keep my item?

I want my money or my item back. This is unjust!

Loss:
$95
Pros:
  • Sell items quickly
Cons:
  • Customer service is unreachable
  • Always side with buyers

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Watch Customer Service Very Carefully

Buyer Protection is BS & they sell counterfeit designer bags

Purchased a Louis Vuitton bag And paid a Buyer protection fee. I paid Mecari to authenticate the bag and it came back as fake.

They dont honor the Buyer Protection you pay for on your purchase and would not refund me the $500 I paid on a bag THEY acknowledge was fake. Total fraud and its illegal selling counterfeit, copyrighted designer bags.

My refund.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received a package on July 24th, and I have emailed Mercari telling them that their system is not working and I need to get a return label because the product was damaged. Their phones kept on having a busy signal.

The email that was sent was on July 25th within the 3 days. I got a runaround on the emails from Mercari. No response from the seller either to please help me because their submit button wasn't working. I still haven't gotten my money back or a label.

I have asked them to please contact me. It's bad customer service. They keep on saying it's after the three days, and I had contacted them way before then. What should I do?

I feel this company is scamming me. They were never like this before.

Loss:
$61

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Read your emails prior and help their customers

Mercari - Purchased 32” Toshiba tv July 7 2025 have not heard or received any information...

I'm not too sure how to rate an item that I have yet to receive. As long as I get some kind of confirmation that it's on its way and in good condition, then all is forgiven for its delay.

Fix the submit button because it just stays gray. I want to return my product and it looks like I can't because it's defective.Also when you call have somebody answer and not have the phone cut off every time.

I'm lost here!

Hum? I want my money back.
