Safety Guidelines

We strive to provide a safe, secure, and fun marketplace for buyers and sellers.
If a transaction goes sour, someone is attempting to deceive others, or if you
notice any Prohibited Items or Prohibited Conduct, just send us a message via
the in-app Help Center and we’d be happy to help.


ONLINE SAFETY:

 * Don’t share your personal contact information, such as phone number or email
   address with anyone. We can’t help with interactions outside of the Mercari
   App or website
 * Communicate with your buyer or seller through our in App messaging feature,
   to ensure there is a record of it.
 * Use a credit card instead of a debit card for online purchases. Credit cards
   often have better security features and purchase protection, and your credit
   provider is more likely to offer reimbursements for fraudulent purchases.
 * Come up with a great password and change it frequently. Passwords that are
   non-dictionary phrases and include numbers and special characters are the
   strongest. Do not use the same password for more than one account or repeat
   passwords.
 * Never share your Mercari account or password with anyone, including
   third-party websites. We will never ask you for your password.
 * Do not click on emailed links and login to your Mercari account from clicking
   a link. The most secure way to log into your Mercari account is by going
   directly to Mercari.com and logging in from there, or accessing through the
   App.
 * Make sure to download our official App from the Apple App Store or the Google
   Play App Store, where the developer of the App is Mercari Inc. Developers
   other than Mercari Inc are not verified.
 * If you allow your children to use your account, closely monitor their
   purchases and interactions with sellers.
 * Before buying online, read the listing and look at the photo(s) carefully.
   Read the reviews left for the seller. Ask the seller any questions before you
   make payment.
 * Report any questionable or prohibited items through the Report link in the
   item listing page.


FINANCIAL SAFETY:

 * Never give out your personal financial (payment) information or contact
   information to another user, especially if they are asking for it outside of
   our App or site.
 * To protect you from becoming a victim of fraud, transactions must be done
   through the App or site. We do not support or protect transactions where
   payment is transmitted outside of the App or our site.
 * Avoid transferring money to someone you do not know, for scenarios that seems
   “too good to be true” or to help resolve an “urgent” situation supposedly
   involving a friend or loved one. This may involve a request to rate an item
   you have not yet received.
 * Routinely check your financial statements for questionable activity. Contact
   Mercari immediately if you see any unauthorized charges.
 * Thoroughly inspect the item upon delivery. Buyers have 3 days from delivery
   to request a return. Once the 3 days have passed or the buyer has rated the
   transaction, all sales are final.
   * Test the item prior to rating your seller, especially for expensive items
     or electronics.
   * Some phone carriers are able to check if a phone has been identified as
     stolen.
   * Luxury brands often have trademark information available online to verify
     authenticity or use Mercari Authenticate if possible.

 * If you suspect that you may be a victim of fraud or other criminal activity,
   please call us at (888)325-2168 or report your suspicions to law enforcement.
