Re: Mercari asking for ID
While I might agree it is easy to make sales, if they end up just stealing your money at some point by a random restriction, that does reduce your total profits from start to finish on the account.
The last account I had committed no violations I'm aware of, had no problems, but after 5 or so sales it got restricted. Held $300 in my account. My email clearly says after shipments are completed I can request to have my funds released.
I send them countless emails and not one agent answers my question. They just say I'm suspended. I'm sure whoever is read my emails thought it was funny too. Cannot believe its a public company in Japan. They are no better than a thief because they don't even uphold their own policies. I don't see why Mercari will be relevant in 5 years.
Since 2023, all my accounts were randomly suspended with no previous violations. I think they just wait until my account gets money then do it, but have some intention early on, but don't pull the restriction until money is in the account. Which should be fraudulent and illegal if anyone could prove they're doing it.
At least on eBay I know what I was doing wrong. They don't just restrict for random reasons, not that I have found. Mercari has agents that will just restrict you off their random emotions, and steal your money. They've stolen over $3000+ from me. |
