Customer service is terrible and if you leave a negative review, they'll release the money and give you an annoying runaround. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE AS POSSIBLE. FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. BUYER BEWARE.
First off zero customer service! I guess that's what you get from foreigners. They like to bend over Americans then take zero responsibility! Stay far away from this company!
Would recommend highly, they were honest with me, I had ordered a product through an individual through them, didn't receive the product, this company returned my money, thank you
I have around 1500$ on my account but just recently Mercari is holding my funds and I don't know what to do. They say for unusual activity don't understand
They do not even deserve one star -- item may look cheap but if the item when received is not working ro as indicated... forget about asking for a refund it will not happen.

I purchased two mugs as a gift for a friend. The seller sent them in a box with no packing material. One of the mugs broke in transit. On Mercari's website, they tell you to contact the seller if there is an issue with a purchase/delivery. I contacted the seller and she said it was totally her fault and that she would file a claim for a refund. After a few days, I contacted the seller again and she said she had reached out to Mercari's support team and was told they were looking into the matter. She said she would contact them again. I could not find support contact information on the website, so I googled it and emailed Mercari the information and pictures. I was told that even though, as directed by them, I contacted the seller first, because I didn't contact them also within 72 hrs., I was ineligible for a refund. Instead they offered me a 10% discount on a future purchase on an item priced at $20 or more. I feel I am entitled to a refund of at least 1/2 the total cost ($31.45) including shipping, as only one mug was broken and unusable. I have filed a disputed charge claim with my credit card company.
My complaint is not with the sellers it is with Mercari itself. As a seller with over 100 sales and a 5 star rating, I find it irritating when I have a question for them and there is NO WAY to direct a question without going through a lot of BS. They also have shipping charges that KEEP going higher and higher. They higher the shipping goes the LESS I sell because people can't afford the high cost of shipping. Signed Unhappy Seller
Mercaris customer service is pathetic. I shipped an item with tracking. Its shows delivered but the buyer claims she didnt receive it. Basically if your a seller all the buyer has to do is claim it wasnt received even though tracking shows otherwise. Still waiting for Mercari to pay me for the item. At first theyll respond with wait 5 days but once the 5 days is up & you respond to Mercari for a response customer service seems to disappear. Pathetic selling app BEWARE. Soon or later you get screwed on this app. Your better off on eBay even though you pay higher fees at least you have a customer service number. MERCARI IS A TOTAL SCAM, stay away
Ive been buying and selling on this app for over a year now. Im currently having an issue with a buyer who is trying to scam me out of my money but Mercari seems to give zero $#*!s. Ive gotten one response in the app in the past few days. Ive tried calling, messaging in the app, emailing, Twitter, Facebook, EVERYTHING! I was told on Twitter that theyd be with me shortly, and that was yesterday morning! On the email they sent back, they confirmed the item was delivered yet said they expected the item would be delivered soon and if I wanted to refund the buyer I could! WTF?! Why the hell would that even be an option if I did my part yet theyre just scamming me?! These people are near damn impossible to get ahold of and it seems like theyre siding with the buyer which is unfair considering her one review is poor and explains what Im going through right now too! Id sue them if I could. Stay far, far away... and get your $#*! together Mercari.
We're sorry to hear you're having an issue with a transaction and have been waiting for a resolution. In cases where a package is confirmed delivered but the buyer claims it was not received, we follow USPS's policy and wait 5 days for it to be delivered. During this time we recommend your buyer reaches out to USPS to help them locate the package. If they have not located the package after the 5th day, Mercari will complete the transaction, and release your funds, as you have fulfilled your obligation of sending the item. I'm sorry for the confusion and frustration this transaction has caused. Please reach out to us at contact@mercari.com if the package has not been located after the 5th day. Thanks!^DE
I would put ******* if I could
They are horrible, don't know what they doing
Poshmark is thousand times better than this stupid app who closes account without any reason or verification of an issue
Also requires new bank accounts after an account has been closed to legit reason
They HoLd payment illegally, users need to start taking action against this stupid app
Not happy with my mercari experience getting views was nice but NO sales. Plus today it didn't show all my items I listed... Ill take my business elsewhere
Believe everything you read about them. They are just horrible all the way around from the sellers to the company itself. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
Absolutely no customer service! Non-friendly user app! Outrageous demands on return policy. ( so that it is impossible to prove your reason for return)
WARNING! Do not download App!
My shoes disintegrated after one use. The app wouldn't help process a return/refund with liability since I'd already "processed and rated the item".
As a marketplace, do better.
I have been buying and selling on Mercari for roughly a year and a half. I switched over my listings from Poshmark due to their excessive commissions and, at the time, inability to offer buyers free shipping. I haven't looked back since, as Mercari facilitates transactions smoothly and payment for sales is quick and easy. One thing I bought got lost in the mail and Mercari was quick to refund me. Things sell really fast on here too, which I love. I've had items sell within 5 minutes of listing them. Mercari frequently offers coupons as a way to drive sales, and this works great for both buyers and sellers, as sellers still get their asking price and buyer gets to save some coin. As a buyer, I have no complaints. As a seller, my only complaint is the recent revocation of the ability for sellers in the state of California to apply their balance towards payment of goods on Mercari. CA sellers are now forced to withdraw their balance due to "compliance"(Mercari's Twitter explanation). Mercari would have gotten 5 stars from me if not for that.
The worse platform to sell or buy items. The customer service is poor. Underpaid unhappy employees that can not even understand a statement. Scam
Item sold as new. Sent to wrong address. By the time I received it the return and rating window was closed. Parts damaged and worn. Some parts missing. Do not use this site.
The worst app and the worst costumer service
Every time i bought or i sold i have Issues
Millions of people sell counterfeit items i was one if them i bought this items with out knowing and i try te sell back and they block my account
They should change their name from mercari to blocking app because they block u for all the small reasons on planet earth they have the worst customer service ever which takes approx 2 years to respond to ur issues. And they should be given an award for "the garbage app" POSHMARK IS WAY BETTER! Don't deal in mercari! The one who runs this app is a complete "IDIOT " and a PARANOID nutcase

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
