What is Mercari's return policy?

Asked 2 years ago
Mercari's return policy is designed to ensure a smooth transaction experience for both buyers and sellers. Generally, Mercari encourages buyers to read item descriptions carefully and view all provided images before completing a purchase. This can help minimize the need for returns. However, there are situations where a return may be necessary. If a buyer receives an item that is not as described in the listing, they may initiate a return within three days of receiving the item. The buyer must provide evidence that supports the claim, such as photos showing the discrepancy. This could include items that are damaged, significantly different from what was described, or missing key components that were part of the listing. If the return is approved, the buyer will receive a prepaid shipping label to return the item. It is important to note that Mercari's policy is not applicable to all types of transactions; for example, items that fall under the categories of "as-is" or are marked as final sale may not be eligible for returns. The seller's terms and conditions can also influence the return process. If a seller provides an accurate item description and the item is delivered as promised, they are generally not required to accept a return. For the most accurate and detailed information on Mercari's return policy, it is advisable to consult the official website or the help section of the Mercari app, as policies can evolve and may vary based on specific circumstances.
