Mercari allows sellers to cancel transactions weeks after waiting ion delivery with no negative reviews possible to the seller. They do nothing. This particular seller cancels half of their transactions yet have 5 star ratings.
Avoid Mercari. Had nothing but problems with my initial purchase. Customer service is lacking and gave repeat and repeat issue. Received product that was ordered and it was significantly damaged. Item was a WWII statue and arrived broken and in numerous pieces beyond repair. Took pictures with minutes of delivery and opening the box, Mercari denies damage and indicates I have no proof it arrived that way. Seriously? I order a lot thing just to break them…not. Stay away! Look at the reviews about Mercari. I did and still ordered. Now I'm paying for it!
I purchased a video game console from a seller on Mercari and I received an empty box. Don't to business with Mercari the seller's are scam artists. Can't add a photo of invoice because this site wont let me download it.
Mercari is the number 1 selling app they have helped me make over 2 thousand dollars in 2 weeks selling all of my old junk and collectibles i never used anymore sitting in my closet. Why not let it sit on mercari to get SOLD instead?
Mercari has helped me increase my customer base as an online seller. I have had positive experiences on the platform as a seller and buyer with no issues. The buyer needs to educate themselves with the tracking and rating program which is easily explained on Mercari's help pages. Hopefully this company will rival eBay in years to come by continually improving.
I joined Mercari a week ago and placed two orders. The company then closed my account and cancelled my orders without explaining why. When I contacted them via email I got a generic and somewhat rude reply. I definitely do NOT recommend this company to anyone as you will never get in touch with a real person, the phone number leads nowhere and you end up more and more frustrated! Or like me very confused at what went wrong!
I have been buying online for 2 decades, and was one of the earliest members in Mercari. Their customer service was great until recently.
I had sellers made mistakes twice, and CS refused to honor a return. The second time I was sent a different size than the seller listed, and CS reason was they do not take returns for sizing/fit (which is not the case here).
Be careful anyone who buys from Mercari. Their CS phone number is a fake. Whatever you press, you get to live support not available, contact us online. You will never talk to a human being, or get to contest a CS decision even when they are unreasonable.
Collage is SS of seller's description on top, and the label on item I received at bottom
They do not follow their 3 day policy and close out support tickets when the issue is not resolved. I've had nothing but issues with support, and am now being told I cannot be reimbursed, from someone refusing to communicate on a delivered package, because I provided stock photos. Which means they allow scammers. Half the time the pictures come out poor or they are not supported by the app. Good in theory but poorly orchestrated. I gave them opportunities to fix each issue as they arise and they just close out tickets.
This company is so dirty! We bought a toy for our child for Christmas, and it didn't work. When we opened it, we could see that the battery compartment and been meddled with. But since it was a gift, we didn't open it within the 72 hour window to make sure it was all functional. The sellers are dishonest and Mercari doesn't do anything to penalize the behavior. I will never be shopping here again. $50 out the window, and all they said is, "We understand that our Policy regarding completed transactions isn't what you expected but we appreciate your understanding.
I know this transaction didn't go as planned but I hope your next experience is one of the best."
What a bunch of garbage! There will be no "next experience."
I purchased a projector in which the seller deemed that is worked great. Received without the power cord. Seller claimed she would send it. Never arrived. Ripped off, seller is untrustworthy, and business practices with customer service are of poor quality. They do not care about the customer and will blow you off. Money wasted including shipping.
Worst customer service ever!
1- I get the boots late
2- there's an automatic review without my knowledge
3- the boots have NOTHING to do with the picture. Nothing!
I email them about it and all they do is give me a 10% coupon on my next order of 20$ + as if I will use this app ever again.
I purchased China dishes from the Mercari site. What I received some pieces that were still intact, but many broken pieces. Mercari was completely non-responsive at first. Then emailed me on the need for front and back photos of damaged pieces. I had no issue trying to put pieces together in order to take photos, but wanted to know if I would be responsible for return shipping costs. I also wanted to know if I needed to purchase more packing material because if I returned items the same way I received them, more would get damaged. I was already into the purchase $200 and didn't want to spend more with no promise of a return. I could not get answers to these reasonable questions! Their site could accept the number of photos they requested. When all of these was mostly resolved, Mercari closed the claim without action. I have not heard why. Below are several of the 30 photos Mercari had me take for no reason. Again...BUYER BEWARE!
I would give it 5 stars, but they added seller fees on top of paying taxes. A $9 item would earn you $3. Seems so unfair.
But other than that, my items sell fast and I have made quite a bit selling on here.
These sellers for whatever reason refuse to ship items people buy and then repeatedly lie about it. They do this with impunity because a buyer can't leave a review. There is absolutely no way to judge beforehand if a seller is a big fat liar. I've had numerous cases of non shipping sellers who refuse to cancel a sale.
I purchased shoes that turned out to be counterfeit. I did not become aware until 2 weeks later. They refused to take them back because they said they had a 15 day deadline for refunds That seller is using different accounts and selling the same type of counterfeit designer shoes over and over with the same pictures. Mercari usually lets them get by perhaps due to their 10 percent commission.
If I could give Mercari.com less than 1 star, I would give it negative 5 stars. They allow sellers to post inaccurate and incomplete descriptions and sell unusable items. Their review process is a joke. They have no secondary review if you ask to return an item, and their seller review is not reflective of your experience with the seller. I run a non-profit education and was ordering equipment for our camp to help teach youth STEM competencies. I spent $900 on an item that was unusable. When I asked to return the item for even a partial refund, they told me flat out no, that they require photo evidence...even though I provided photo evidence, screenshots, and complete descriptions of the item. They told me they don't change their mind once it is made up (see screenshot below). This is not a reputable business. I am not only not going back ever again, I will also be ensuring none of my community of young scientists falls for the same scam.
AVOID THEM! Mercari offers virtually no support for their customers. They're impossible to reach. I was sent an older iPad than the one advertised and when I asked for a return (the next day!), I had to wait several days for them to respond. They said it was too late. Meanwhile, they're allowing sellers to market fraudulent products on their site. They don't care, as long as they get their cut. There are so many other good sites to buy and sell products. Avoid Mercari if you value your sanity and your pocketbook.
IRobot has no idea what Customer Service is & they don't care!
The machine is great, but if you need help - you better call a friend! The manuals are written for people who already know how to use this machine and service. The machine isn't so hard after you figure out the terminology iRobot uses. IRobot is very skilled at avoiding it's customer's questions. Use a different company and/or service - iRobot will take your money, but they do not care if you are able to use the machine or service options. Their software is some of the most UN-User Friendly I have ever encountered.
There are great sellers on site and its crazy cause buyers are rude, expect your items to be in expensive bags when its second hand! Its really not a good place to do business. It is good however for a buyer if you find the right seller
Don't ever buy anything off this site, the sellers are so unreliable it is ridiculous. I ordered something 3 weeks ago, and still haven't received it. Tried to open a case with Mercari, no one will talk to me. There in No formal way to even state you haven't received your items. The person I bought it from, said they would refund me, but then don't know how to. Site is a complete Joke..
Answer: Please contact the Federal Trade Commision and Internet Crime Complaint Center. (IC3). It is illegal to keep anyones money! The IRS would like to know where all this money is also? Whos paying taxes on it? FTC will get your money! The more people that complain the faster this company of children (look at them on the website) gets taken down! The faster we all get paid!
Answer: DID YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK?
Answer: Good question. Poshmark charges a ridiculous $6.99 shipping fee for everything, regardless of weight. Only thing is, you cannot mail anything for less than $2.66 but I see your point
