I started to buy things from Mercari about 5 years ago. Mostly clothes and accessories. At that time they seemed much cheaper than other resale websites. Yes, you could get bad, dirty junk smelling musty, covered in fabric refresher. It was pennies. Oh, well.These days it is the same badly photographed dirty junk, but much more expensive. You are paying for the privilege to see and handle the old smelly purse, wrong size shoes and clothes, used eye shadows, weird colors. You are paying for your disappointment. The customer service is non-existing. You get bullied by some sellers. Returns are not worth it, especially if you hold a full time job.So, what happened to me today to write this? Another 50 dollar mistake. Item labelled as good. Arrived worn out, dirty and smelly. Item destroyed. Account closed. Thank you for reading this.
