They will charge Mercari for the additional shipping.
Not of my PO rejects it for being under weightā¦theyāve donāt that beforeā¦sent me home or had me pay the additional amount (if stamps covers it).
I havenāt had a book returned for postage being under weight.
I have before. And Iāve been turned away at the po when dropping it off too.
I get a lot of these. Says someone purchased somethingā¦only to find itās been ādeletedā and nothing purchased.
I have never gotten those.
I get them every few days. Seems like someone unauthorized tries to buy my books, but Mercari steps in before I even have a chance to look? Itās really weird.
When talking about the Mercari Like feature, here is the stuff I get
Guy liked the books and sent me this
Donāt think this will turn into a sale
He should have asked each of them for 3 dollars so he could buy the book!

Iāll get spam messages on Mercari about how they want me to text them at some number for more photos or to buy off-platform. I always report that.
Guy on Mercari sends me an offer $20 under asking. I was considering it. The next day he sent me a message saying his offer was higher than recent sales, that I should check, etcā¦ I didnāt even respond to his claim. Just accepted the offer to move the book. Just sent him a message saying the book would be shipped out later that day.
He just started a return using fake photos to claim the comic is not as described. Iāve never had a return request on Mercari, so I donāt know how itāll go. When I try to add notes to the return request stating that the photos the buyer uploaded arenāt of the comic I sent them, they never save. Iāve tried since yesterday. Their phone number just says high call volume and disconnects you after a few minutes.
I emailed Mercari my notes. Def feel like Iām being scammed hereā¦ one of the things I worry about with Mercari is seller protection.

I always ask for pics of the packaging too. Dings like that usually align with the package with same type of damage in general area.

In the return request he claims to have shredded the label and discarded the packaging although he did write that none of it is needed because the packaging was not damaged and that it was shipped securely.
Thereās the proof thenā¦ If the package isnāt damaged and the comic was secure and not loose inside, then how did it look like it took a hit from the pics you had in the listing? I hate people who scam othersā¦
Yeah if the package isnāt damaged and it was securely sent, it wasnāt damaged and he is pulling the old switcheroo
The only other thing that could have happened is the dumbass dropped it to cause the damage after removing and now just wants his money back from his own mistake. Iām sure that happens quite often with some returns.
If they drop it, we call it the oldā¦ dropper-roo? 
Mercari isnāt going to do much research into the problemā¦you donāt have a say if the buyer wants to return it.
However, when you get the book back there will be an option to identify that the item you received was not the same item. I think thatās when you will provide the evidence and push back. At least that was how it worked for me. I had a buyer return an item that I accepted a low offer on as ānot as describedāā¦.didnāt elaborate on anythingā¦and I had no say in the argumentā¦I had several photos of the defects and acknowledged them in the description of what he bough, so no clue what āwasnāt as describedā. Itās like āwtf?ā
But I checked it over when I got it back and it was all the same booksā¦same condition. And there was no option to push back as being scammedā¦it was clearly buyers remorseā¦.
Some people are just jerks
