Mercari: Buying & Selling App 4+

Okay so I’ve been using this app for YEARS. I have made a couple thousand dollars on everything I’ve sold. I mainly buy and resell clothing but some electronics too since I manage a phone store. When you sell something please be aware that you do not receive payment until the item is received by the buyer and they have inspected and given you a rating. After you receive a rating you then rate the buyer as well. The ratings are kind of nice but once in awhile you will run into a buyer who is just an a hole and gives you a 1 star because it took you an extra day to ship the item. (Yes it’s happened to me a couple times.) I blocked them and refuse to sell to them again. When buying stuff please look at the other persons profile. Read the reviews they have been given and how many listings they have. You can also see when the last time they posted an item was to determine if they are still active. If the buyer doesn’t rate you within a couple days then mercari team will automatically give you a 5 star with no comment. When selling please make sure to take good quality photos. And please make a detailed description of the item. Trust me, you don’t want the item showing up different than you described it.

Overall this is the best app I have used to sell and buy items. The only thing I wish they would improve is maybe a live agent to talk to instead of waiting days for an email about your issues.

I find that this selling and buying is really great great Friday lotta great stuff lotta great people but it’s very confusing because if you buy a product or something and you think if you purchased it and then it doesn’t show up for days on your page and then you’ve been charged for it but it never shows that you’ve purchased it it shows sold but not to yourself so I am very confuse there’s been a lot of debits taken out of my checking account but nothing showed up I was very surprised that something showed up I didn’tI was the buyer I was almost going to purchase it from another person so I get very confused about that part so my car is great but the way they run it I think it’s a little bit I don’t know I don’t want to say bad night it’s just confusing to me I still have over charges in my account and I’m not sure whatthsy are for ? You can’t get anyone from Mercari to communicate with you it’s always a question answered by question answered my question so the communication with my car he is not great it’s the people that you work with that are wonderful they are the ones that show me the ropes and I really appreciate it so I don’t even know how to get in touch with Makari I guess her email to say hey what are these charges because I had a credit and I didn’t even use it all but they took it all so we’ll see. I will finish up my transactions and I will not work with Mercari anymore and as soon as I get my banking squared away with them

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 “𝐄𝐔𝐑𝐌𝐘𝐀” 𝐅𝐨𝐫 $𝟓𝟎 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭. I had been selling on mercari a few years and loved it. I slowly stopped once i went back to work. Recently i started back up and sold over 2k in a couple weeks. I was thrilled and even tho you're only allowed to take out $600 a month i figured i just buy bday/xmas gifts on there with the rest of the credit giving the cite business since i had been happy with them. I ordered a dyson submarine vacuum before i had made all these sales so i used partial credit and the rest on my credit card. However I never received the item. USPS claimed item was left in/or around the mailbox. How on earth is a vaccumm going to fit in a mailbox? and why would they leave it around it if we live in a area where all mailboxes are at the corner of the street. We have a ring camera and it doesn't show anyone delivering. I contacted mercari with the issue and they said to contact the carrier, they were not responsible. I disputed the charge on my credit card because after all the money went to them. Now mercari has locked my account since i desputed the charge. Theres over 2k in credit and i had just shipped about 1k worth of stuff. I have tried contacting them and just get the runaround. I even contacted my credit card and try to undo the dispute which you can not. Im so stressed and mad at myself for trusting a site. Hoping someone else has answers for me! -GloomydayzinSF
