Mercari App Review: Pros and Cons of Buying and Selling Online

Mercari App Review: Pros and Cons of Buying and Selling Online

30 reviews between May 21, 2023 and May 24, 2023.

Mercari is a buying and selling app that is easier to navigate than eBay or Poshmark. The fees are too high and sellers have to wait for buyers to rate them before getting paid. The search function is not effective and the app crashes frequently. The removal of the local tab was a disappointment, and some find the app user-unfriendly. However, sellers can make a good profit from the app and customer service resolves issues quickly.

  • Too slow blanks out

    I really enjoy Mercari . I used to go on eBay a lot but Mercari is so much easier to navigate through and find whatever you need or have in curiosity that day doesnā€™t disappoint. Its more of a surprising feel but anyways one thing this app is super slow at moments I have no problems with my other apps except this one . Blanks out I donā€™t know if itā€™s due to masses in traffic or what but other than that Iā€™m enjoying it but please fix your issue then you got a 5 from me thank you (4/5*)

  • Thankyou

    Was very grateful for your speedy response because neither the buyer nor myself knew how to delete the sale because of that miscalculation on the shipping I wanted to be fair with the buyer and told her I thought it would be a bit much so appreciate your help thank you

  • Recommendation

    You guy really need to work on a faster way to get the seller paid is redecillas that after being a trusted seller I still have to wait for the buyer to rate me and more than half the time the donā€™t rate so I gotta wait the 3 days it takes for them to receive their package and then wait till the rate me and if they donā€™t I have to wait another 3 days thatā€™s just crazy please work on that

    • Love it, just be aware :)

      Iā€™ve used Mercari for years and done 90 transactions. Way easier than eBay or Poshmark. Shipping is reasonable however, I have been overcharged twice before(customer service does nothing.) If you spend over $600USD the IRS will need your information. So careful spending!

    • Couldn’t imagine you allow to sell used cosmetics

      I bought 3 lipsticks (set). When I opened them, I noticed that they all were tried. I had to go back and read the description, and it said that they were swooped once. Who in the right mind would sell, or buy cosmetics that was tried even once?! Very disappointing!

      A buyer damaged an item before returning it. Because I did not notice within 24 hours Mercari will not take any action to fix the problem. This is a damage resulting in hundreds of dollars in revenue lost.

      Itā€™s night & day from what Mercari use to be. After their 10% fee, outrageous shipping price hikes & now a processing fee, youā€™re left with less than half of what you sell items for. Big ol F U Mercari.

      This is a horrendous app. I gave up selling and buying on here due to its user unfriendly interface. I canā€™t even just browse locally anymore. Mercari you seriously need to take some tips from other marketing businesses. Sorry but I canā€™t give a business that really has not got it together anything but 0 stars. Was forced to give it 1 though. This is a first for me.

      They removed my listing without even asking me for prove and had the audacity to say that if it would have sold I would have not gotten my money and they would not have to deal with the seller. I wrote customer service with my receipt and prove the item is real and legit but no one ever wrote me back and itā€™s going on days.
