Mecari harbors fraud and refuses to give me my own money back

Contains 2 confidential files for company representatives

I purchased this listing and the item was lost within a day of the item being shipped. I went back and looked at the pictures of the item and noticed all the coats in the pictures are slightly different.

Some of lapels are larger in some pictures vs. Others. Some of the pictures show 3 buttons on the sleeve vs 4 buttons. I was horrified as the coat in all the pictures are different.

I went back to track my item again and noticed the seller made an insurance claim on the lost package. So now the seller has money for a fake item. I look at the sellers reviews and he had canceled 65 transactions out of 129. With all of those cancelations resulting in insurance claims.

I called mecari with this information and they refused to refund my money for 30 days.

Even though the listing shows 4 different coats in the sellers listing, The seller has canceled almost half of their transactions, and the seller has already filed an insurance claim. Mecari USA is doing so poorly financial and so desperate to make money they are now harboring consumer fraudsters

A refund

Mercari - A refund

Why is it so hard to get in contact with someone about a refund? I sent a seller $100 plus for a specific item that I wanted to purchase, and the seller did not get in contact with me.

She knows that she gets notifications if something is sold, and now I'm waiting for my hundred dollars to come back to me, and he has not come back to me yet. I'm trying to reach someone at Mercari, and I have not gotten anything from anybody.

I'm highly upset because I don't have money to lose. This is the worst company that I've ever dealt with when it comes to buying objects and products.

Item received not as described

Beware of merchants selling fake products. I purchased Carolina Herrera Good Girl, and it is a fraudulent item.

It's not authentic. The item that was posted on the website is in a different color box, and the perfume bottle is a different color. Please see the attached photos.

I have filed a dispute with PayPal, and I'm very disappointed in Makari for not verifying if items that are being allowed to be sold on their website. They're being used as a platform for these merchants to sell their items without verifying or confirming the authenticity of the item.

Purchased Mercari shipping label and they did not honor shipping protection and closed my account when I made a BBB complaint

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

I purchased a Mercari shipping label like always, and the item never got scanned as delivered. They told me to wait 30 days, but not to worry because I had shipping protection and they had me covered.

30 days later, they canceled the order, and I was out shipping and product.

When I filed a complaint with the BBB, they closed my account that I had with them since 2019, with about 1200 sales and 5-star reviews. Very unprofessional and cold!

This website is horrible. Zero customer service.

Scammers can keep repeating the same scam over and over, not even changing profiles or the items listed, and Mercari does absolutely nothing to stop these crooks. You have 72 hours to check your package and report a problem, and after that, you're screwed. It's a garbage site with no support that allows lowlifes to steal your money with no recourse. If you buy or sell on this site, you deserve to get ripped off.

I would show my purchase as a scam, which I was refunded for, but Mercari scrubs the entire transaction off your purchase history! It's a shady website that knows about the scammers and tries to help cover up any wrongdoing!

Pros:
  • Can rip people off easily if your a criminal
Cons:
  • Easily scammed when majority of sellers are fake

Preferred solution: Apology

Allows & Complicit in theft, scams of customer abusing return policies

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

Buy nothing from this lying Cheating Mercari Platform because they blatantly allow buyer to steal from the seller .No help from mercari to help sellers get their returns back in the condition you shipped out. In fact they are complicit in the theft.

I have reported this company for theft & not covering damages by customer when returning items more than once for Damaged items, Missing Parts & unsecured Shipping sometimes out of spite. where they do nothing to rectify or hold customer accountable. This is to notify the public this company is a scam right along with scamming Customer. Sellers beware this company always allows & complicit in allowing the thefts & scamming by some customers against the sellers Products & inventory circumventing any of their so called return policies,& will do anything to get their money while throwing sellers under the bus in the process not caring that sellers are left at at the lost of money & resell abilities as long as they get their cut .

I am Boycotting & shouting from the roof on Public, Social Media, reported to BBA & utube where they advertise about this unacceptable illegal business Practices. I am Fed Up with this company & it's time to take action against them6

What a mess

I was banned from Mercari because my ex fiancé did something very stupid without my knowledge, and took the box of things I had intended to sell to somebody else, and put his apartment number on them. And now I am banned, and Ive tried to appeal, but they refuse to budge.

how was I supposed to know that my abusive, narcissistic, egotistical, and selfish, not to mention, physically abusive ex fiancé was going to do that. I have tried unsuccessfully to get Mercari to listen to me on numerous occasions, and they basically say they stand behind their decision. They wont even let me explain.

so Im not sure what to do. I am totally blind, and its not an easy process to start an appeal, especially when there is no valid customer service phone number.

Mercari - Problem with payout
Updated by user Dec 11, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The restored my account and I was able to get my money.

Original review Nov 26, 2024
I had an account with Mercari and sales were great! Then, suddenly, one day my account was limited.

They said it was for 'prohibited conduct,' but didn't tell me what the prohibited conduct was and I didn't have any idea. I wasn't selling anything dangerous; my prices were more than fair, and I wasn't breaking any other rules. Anyhow, with a limited account, I cannot request payout. Mercari owes me $1,441.09.

I have mailed them two letters asking them to pay me and have written to them in the app many times. All I've gotten is an email saying they've looped in their payments and billing department.

It has been two weeks already and there hasn't been any other response. I don't know what else to do; I want my money!
