Never received item

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Mercari - Never received item
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I bought something for my child and the app sent me a message that my purchase was received on 9/20, but I received another message from the app stating that it arrived on the 17th but I never received the package. I'm trying to reach the company to find a solution but they never respond.

They expected a rating so that the seller could get the money, but I can't rate something I never received. I need a refund and I'm trying to reach them but they are not responding to me.

Mercari.. beware shopper!

Mercari sided with the seller when I was clearly in the right when they read all the messages between me and the seller. Mercari has done this before, and sellers too; I'll never shop with them again!

eBay always stands by their customers, and Poshmark can be somewhat like Mercari as well, but not as bad. But I don't have money to just throw away because someone decided to rip me off, and I'm sure most people would agree.

Scammers

I was trying to sell a coat using Mercari. As soon as I posted the item, someone offered to buy it through Mercari, but their payment kept getting declined.

I was under the impression that I did not have a cash balance to make the transaction happen.

Later, I received an email informing me that I needed to set up an Apple Pay Cash app or use Zelle with a balance of $250, or else the sale would not be made. I received numerous text messages.

Didn't receive package

I paid the vendor, printed a label, and never mailed it. I kept looking, as this was a Christmas gift for my grandson.

My daughter said that she received the coat. I marked it as received, then found out that it was a completely different order that she had received.

Wow, thanks. I was just ripped off.

I never got my item

I never received my item. The box was empty when it arrived, and it was sent out on the 16th.

I can't talk to the merchant and they said they had sent it out. I have cameras in my house that show that the box was empty when I received it.

I Suspect fraudulent activity

Mercari - I Suspect fraudulent activity

I suspect fraudulent activities on the app some sellers are requesting shipping fee out of there which I think it doesn't sound right so please check on it especially on the cell phones that's why I try to purchase a phone and it says it's a giveaway but then you have to send them cash up money for $20 for shipping

With two purchases I was robbed. One you literally robbed me by insisting on me returning a product I never received after having received and returned the incorrect order. And two, by allowing seller

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

First, I ordered an item. A 2 pack of Skin Ceuticals HA Intensifier skin serum.

I received a two pack of Vitamin B5 serum. I jumped through all the hoops to return the incorrect product. I submitted photos of all sides. The return was approved.

I used the return label provided. The item was delivered to the seller. Then the seller kept asking for me to return the original product I ordered but never received. You kept sending emails with a return label asking for me to return SOMETHING I NEVER RECEIVED!!!

Finally, a representative sent an email saying to disregard the other emails and included tracking with the proof that the item I returned had been delivered back to the seller! (I have all of the emails and my original receipt for the shipping of the wrong item.) The seller knows she is robbing me. You would n=know if a person actually looked at any of this! THEN ...

I ordered another 2 pack of the item I had never received, the HA Intensifier from another seller. (I think. The name was different at least.) I received it very quickly. It was the same price as the others that I had never gotten so when it came time to rate the seller, on the heals of the experience I had just had, I said it was great.

It was a great price and arrived fast. But I didn't open it until a week or so ago. Both bottles were factory sealed so I didn't have anything to worry about. Or did I.

When I finally opened one to use, it reeked of perfume. Skin Ceuticals doesn't use any fragrance. I did some research and clearly this was a knock off product. The color, texture, smell, amount in the bottle, the bottle itself, all matched with fakes of the product.

I reached out for support, and NO SURPRISE HERE ... Nothing! It's too late cause I rated her. SO YOU DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE ARE PEDDLING POISON INSTEAD OF PRODUCT!

And you only stand for the seller no matter how dishonest. When I searched the site, it is loaded with these same bottles for the same price point. Clearly being mass produced in China or somewhere to look like their expensive counterparts. I am going to contact the FTC about both of these cases.

As far as I'm concerned, Mercari has stolen $140 from me and god knows what I put on my skin! I am telling anyone who will listen not to use your site.

They closed my account

Mercari - They closed my account

I purchased one thing on this website and next thing I know they refunded me and close the account due to prohibited transactions. Not sure why they closed the account. I could not find a live person for Help or a proper email address so no one helped me.

View full review
Cons:
  • No live help

Preferred solution: I would like an explanation of why I was refunded and account was closed when I've never even been on this website before. I would like this account to be reopened. I was trying to purchase one item only. shellyseepaul720@gmail.com
