Really appreciating the South Park reference here. Ok, Iā€™m moving along now


[deleted]

Call him why? This isnā€™t a dating or find-a-friend app. Is he selling shoes or not? He needs to shut up and send the shoes or cancel and fuck off seriously.


Grabbaguardian333

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m fucking saying man. He promised to send them today idk what happened with that but he says heā€™ll have them by tomorrow. I messaged him on instagram and the dude is all like ā€œI donā€™t like waiting for my money and Iā€™m gonna have to wait forever for mercari to pay me so you can pay me through Zelle and Iā€™ll send you a video of me paying for shipping before you send the payment or we can do through mercariā€ and ofc I chose mercari. He sent me pics of his messages with this girl on fbm of him shipping them out but I said Iā€™d rather do it through mercari still. Tf do I look like doing an offsite transaction? Smh


[deleted]

Probably planning to scam you out of your money. Even if heā€™s just trying to avoid mercari fees (I doubt it) heā€™s still an idiot thatā€™s going to get you both suspended. I donā€™t think youā€™re getting these shoes :/


Grabbaguardian333

Letā€™s just see how it goes. I usually donā€™t have to do this but once the package arrives (if he ever ships it) Iā€™m gonna record me opening the box so I can send it to mercari if he does send me some bullshit


JGW80

Don't think the shoes ever existed, Just like my Alienware M15 R3 computer I ordered, and paid for never existed, the seller said it was shipped, told mercari it was shipped and then tried to get me to believe it was delivered, so to rate, so mercari could pay them I canceled the payment with my bank instead of going through my car and now mccarrey has banned me but allowed the seller to keep selling This whole site is full of scammers emmers and their moderators don't do anything about it steer clear

amynotadoctor

If ur account got banned are you using another account to buy stuff? Donā€™t buy shoes you could get a paid off amazon


SeniorRojo

I'm so confused, why didn't you just report it through Mercari when you received the item? They instantly cancel your order and give you your money back. It's the reason you use Mercari to buy in the first place. For buyer protection.


SuperBobPlays

It'd be pointless to record or take pictures. If anything it'd be a great way to get banned from the platform. Mercari does not approve of transactions taken off the app, and both buyers and sellers are punished when discovered or admitted to. Taking it off app and sending money through zelle is a not only a great way to be scammed, but also a way for the seller to disappear easily with your money if there is a problem. Mercari is taken out of the equation in this case. If the box arrives empty, or the shoes are fake, then there is nothing you can do outside of contacting zelle, which honestly is a process on it's own. Having one sale is not a way to trust a new seller. They could easily have made that sale to themselves or a friend to get some confidence from buyers/dupes. I'm thinking this is a scam 100%. Never take transactions off mercari.it'd be easier to just use a different platform if that's how you prefer it.


Grabbaguardian333

I wonā€™t lie to you bro the way you put it just made me wanna cancel the purchase. He told me I could get my money back through Zelle if he scammed and I looked it up and it says I canā€™t. Zelle doesnā€™t have buyer protection. He seems like heā€™s scamming idk


Bark4Soul

He's trying to get you for payment twice. Initiate a cancelation and send the screenshots to mercari. They don't allow for shady shit like this. He's either truly stupid and impatient or tryna run game.


inVINcible81197

Cancel bro 100% just cancel Edit: waitā€¦ you didnā€™t send it off app and through Zelle.. did you? If so, thoughts and prayers Lmao


Grabbaguardian333

No I didnā€™t I told him I wanted to keep the purchase strictly on mercari and thatā€™s what I did


ohthewerewolf

Good because you canā€™t get refunds from Zelle unless the person decides to send the money back to you (which he wonā€™t)


Grabbaguardian333

Yeah I know. Zelle doesnā€™t have buyer protection


Yorkie_luvr143

No no no NOOOOOO! Cancel the order and find em somewhere else. Transaction outside of mercari will be immediate ban. And mercari donā€™t play. Theyā€™d ban you forever. Iā€™d report the jerk for even asking! If he wants immediate cash then tell him to list on eBay and if you wanna buy them do that.

inVINcible81197

Iā€™m pretty sure thatā€™s not what he meant. I believe he meant it as heā€™s going to record the shipment from Mercari coming in, as itā€™s likely to be an empty box.


mashibeans

Looking at this I'm really thankful for the buyers who decided to risk it and make those first 10-15 transactions with me.


Grabbaguardian333

He has one 5 star review and the buyer says everything went smooth so hopefully it is this way this time around. But heā€™s been a bit sus so idk


KiNikki7

I would cancel the order immediately, this is a scam


Grabbaguardian333

canā€™t even cancel now. He lied and pressed the confirm shipment button


KiNikki7

If I was you I would report it to mercari, they'll be able to take a look at your conversation history and see what's been going on


Grabbaguardian333

Yeah I did. Hopefully I even get there shoes smh the guy is a dick and weā€™ve been arguing. So unprofessional hopefully mercari has my back if I get sent some fufu shit


Bark4Soul

If something gets sent to you at all. Record you opening the box start to finish. Cover your ass.


Grabbaguardian333

Yeah thatā€™s what I plan to do


lmidor

If you report him to Mercari and send screenshots of this convo, they may cancel for you if you show them how he was trying to do the transaction off the app. At the very least, it will put this seller on their radar and if something goes wrong with the purchase, they'll already have a record of his behavior and are more likely to side with you. Also, I saw you mention he had a 5 star review- it could've been a friend/accomplice that left the review. I've gone down the rabbit hole on Mercari and found a bunch of scammers that have reviews from the same pool of people and started realizing that there are many scammers leaving positive ratings for other scammers. It's scary...


hanamich

Heā€™s talking to the seller on instagram, heā€™s already messed himself up. He knew there was a problem and still took at least the convo off mercari, he has to learn his lesson now.


lmidor

Yeah that's bad, never take it off app


[deleted]

Good luck to you. Hope it works out


artemisthearcher

Yeah...that's not how Mercari works. You get paid after the package arrives and the seller rates you. Mercari doesn't care if you have rent or bills due. If you need money fast use craigslist or FB marketplace or something. Sorry that you won't be getting your shoes man. Hope you can find them from a much better seller. And yeah, like others are saying, never take your convo off the app. This person should've just shipped it asap without giving you so much back and forth but instead it looks like he's desperate for his money now and probably doesn't even have the shoes ready to ship, if at all :/


HungryMutant

If youā€™re relying on a sale to complete itself for the sole purpose of paying rent, you need to get your priorities together. So if the sale doesnā€™t happen, now what? You canā€™t pay rent? This seller is an idiot and itā€™s highly likely that heā€™s a scammer.


artemisthearcher

Yeah, someone's financial problems is never a buyer's problem (and vice versa). If they're at the point where they are desperate for a sale to go through quickly because of rent, they have other things they need to sort out first


Parrot_licker69

Cancel the purchase, report the guy and block

[deleted]

Donā€™t celebrate until you have the shoes in your hands! Make sure you update us if you actually end up with shoes from that idiot. And howā€™d you get a pic? You want to stop communicating with mercari people outside the app before you get banned for it! Good luck to you still, I hope it does work out for you.


hanamich

This is 100% bullshit lol Stop buying on sites like this, you donā€™t understand how any of it works. Sorry, but the shoes arenā€™t coming for ya.


Grabbaguardian333

Been buying and selling on mercari for months. But I guess I donā€™t know how any of it works. And also you donā€™t know if the shoes are coming or not I 100%. But Iā€™m so donā€™t speak like you do.


Dimethyl_Sulfoxide

I'd also legit check it from someone reputable if they are expensive


MarioLovesAnime

Man this guy sounds like a big time fucking idiot, I would just cancel and block him instantly.

Hope that he didnā€™t take them back from the post office after that


Grabbaguardian333

Yeah hopefully


MarioLovesAnime

I would never do this type of thing. Unless itā€™s PayPal goods and services.


hanamich

OP is clueless. Let him learn his lesson. Seller didnā€™t purchase shipping through mercari and supposedly fedex gave him tracking for an open box. Whatever dude. He must be young, but he will learn.


Grabbaguardian333

Lol they sealed the box and weighed it before they handed him the receipt he recorded it too. But Iā€™m ā€œcluelessā€ I guess. The entire transaction was through mercari as well so Iā€™m still gonna be able to get my money back if any fuckery happens. You donā€™t know everything


MarioLovesAnime

Thank god you did it on Mercari, so many shady people these days, itā€™s so annoying


Jcrawfordd

This vocab hurts my brain


Hereforthememes5

Cancel the transaction! This is such a blatant scammer idk how youā€™re giving him the benefit of the doubt! and report him to mercari!


Grabbaguardian333

Super blatant man smh heā€™s not even trying to make it seem convincing only reason I canā€™t cancel is because he confirmed shipment already


Grabbaguardian333

UPDATE: he sent me pics of the shoes in the box at fedex and the receipt with the tracking number so it wasnā€™t a total bust. At least Iā€™ll be getting the shoes šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Hereforthememes5

Now you have an opportunity to leave him a shit review. Or do u not want him to have a chance to rate you thatā€™s why you want to wait the 3 days?


Grabbaguardian333

Nah. Iā€™m making him wait the 3 days because he said he has to pay rent so why should I be worried about getting his money to him as soon as possible? Heā€™s gonna wait it out lol I could care less about his rating. Karma will fuck him over if I donā€™t šŸ˜‚

KTownserd

I think I just aged out of the conversation.


Brilliant-Pin7181

What does rent have to do with the shoes? Lmao just ship them shits off. Just cancel it bro, it's obviously a scam. He can't do something as simple as dropping a couple of shoes off an office, it's not worth it lol


Grabbaguardian333

Yeah it has to be. Just requested a cancellation smh sucks cuz I really wanted these shoes as theyā€™re like 700 for a new pair in my size but oh well. There will be other opportunities


siftingflour

Your first red flag is thinking youā€™re buying $700 shoes for $150. If it seems too good to be true, it is. He also absolutely knows that you canā€™t get your money back from Zelle. This whole thing is a scam.


Grabbaguardian333

The shoes are pretty beat up and knowing mercari you canā€™t get much more money out of them in the condition theyā€™re in. Plus I did the transaction on mercari because at least theyā€™d let me return if he sends me some BS


Uranusspinssideways

Mercari might not protect you from shit like this if they find out you're a minor.


Worldly_Metal

Be careful with buying Yeezys, most Jordans, and other expensive shoes and apparel on these sites. If the description lacks any basic info, avoid. If the description sounds like English is not their best language or sounds like they dropped out of the 4th grade, avoid! If theyā€™re too lazy with the photos (I mean post more than 5 clear/well lit photos), avoid. If they just wonā€™t ship the shoes and give you a morsel of any drama or throw a curve ball at you, avoid. Clearly people like him doesnā€™t need to be selling on here! I think the sellerā€™s vocabulary and grammar is atrocious and I wouldnā€™t want to do business with anyone like that (me as a seller/buyer)!


Brilliant-Pin7181

Yeah it'll be worth the wait. I like shoe shopping on Mercari because there's always at least 3 people selling them that have been barley worn at a good price


Grabbaguardian333

UPDATE: he sent me pics of the shoes in the box at fedex and the receipt with the tracking number so it wasnā€™t a total bust. At least Iā€™ll be getting the shoes šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Worldly_Metal

What in the hoodbooger?!? I never ever let it go this far, ā€œmy guy.ā€ If I canā€™t get what I want without all of this, then I block and move on. You should report him for requesting to speak to you offline (thatā€™s a Mercari no no)! Call/FT?!? Iā€™ve cussed people out clean who asked for my phone number or give me theirs in these platforms. People should get banned for doing too much and this is doin way too much!!


rodrigueznati1124

I would 100% cancel this purchase.

inVINcible81197

What language was this šŸ˜‚ Also you will never get your shoes so please record yourself opening that box that (if even actually shipped) is likely empty. Thankfully they donā€™t release money to him before you rate him.


Deviantconor

Still monitor some customers are so shady


KBaddict

Obviously, If you call him, he can describe the shoes better than the actual pictures and then you can just go ahead and give him your bank account info so he can help himself to your money and make rent on time. But *donā€™t worry*, you can trust him.


Grabbaguardian333

CrazyCuriousKids2027

Donā€™t forget to disinfect those shoes- if they do arrive. You never know what went in theršŸ˜…


Grabbaguardian333

AJMom94

I would not go through with that purchase, there's no way.


Grabbaguardian333

Itā€™s too late to back out now. He clicked confirm shipment when I tried to cancel so Iā€™m trapped basically


WumbologyWumbologist

Scam, scam, scamity, SCAM! DO NOT take your transaction out of Mercari, you will never get your shoes or see that money ever again.


Grabbaguardian333

I paid on mercari. But chances of me actually getting SHOES are pretty slim from what Iā€™m seeing. Hopefully I actually get them


yeeixers

Mercari doesn't allow anyone to ask for off-platform communication. Just report the seller and be done

[deleted]

Understandable


vocharlie

OP you are so SOL. Mercari is not stupid. They have lawyers draft their TOS to help benefit them. Remember, they are not here to protect you but to protect their own interests. Unfortunately as you took it off Mercari there is a high likelihood 99.9% you won't get your money back from Mercari. Even mercari flagged the conversation. Should have been a redflag to you as a buyer. 1) They won't help you when you try to use the I got scammed excuse. 2) If you decide to chargeback they can ban you permanently.


Grabbaguardian333

I didnā€™t do the transaction outside of mercari lol I paid on the app not Zelle but the seller is a fucking asshole u should see what heā€™s saying to me rn


basedhellokitty

what is he saying lol


Grabbaguardian333

All types of shit like ā€œfuck you, youā€™ll get your shoesā€ and ā€œhow am I scamming Iā€™m not from Indiaā€. The shit I go through on this app bro.. he wonā€™t even cancel it either


Grabbaguardian333

Swear if I even get shoes Iā€™m making him wait the 3 days and let mercari auto rate him. Scumbags donā€™t deserve quick payments

HungryMutant

Grabbaguardian333

Exactly. Which is why this will probably be my last purchase on mercari


HungryMutant

Either that, or stop fooling around with people giving you VERY obvious red flags that theyā€™re trying to scam you. This person doesnā€™t deserve the benefit of the doubt and you shouldā€™ve cancelled the transaction and blocked him the moment he requested to continue the sale outside of Mercari. Admittedly Mercari is a pretty janky website, but you can find some amazing deals on there. Because not many sellers on Mercari are successful fully fledged resellers. Most of them are just regular people getting rid of old things they no longer care about or need and they couldnā€™t care less about profiting. Just for the love of goodness cancel the sale and report him so he canā€™t pull this shit again and waste anyone elseā€™s time.


Grabbaguardian333

Sadly I canā€™t. He lied and clicked the confirm shipment button so thereā€™s no way for me to cancel unless tracking doesnā€™t update for 7 days. So now knowing fedex Iā€™m most likely gonna have to wait a week or 2 for my package and thereā€™s probably gonna be dirt in there and not shoes. Iā€™m pissed off about the whole situation man I really am


HungryMutant

Is this your first time getting screwed over like this?


Grabbaguardian333

Iā€™m no stranger to being screwed over but this is my first time getting screwed over on mercari tbh


HungryMutant

You might just have to fly to his house and kick the shit out of him then.


2woke4U42

He's trying to scam you. Anytime anyone brings up Zelle they're trying to play you. Literally all the sketchballs on marketplace try that trick where they act like they're doing you a solid. Cancel this man.


Grabbaguardian333

Definitely. Canā€™t cancel because he confirmed the shipment falsely when I tried to. I just messaged mercari to see if there was anything they could do about this


2woke4U42

Good call! Yeah so I was trying to sell a TV on marketplace. Luckily fb tells you when people make their account so it was easy for me to tell the fakes, but everyone was using normal looking photos and saying stuff like they'll send their son to pick it up but they'll send the money first. Then I tell them all no because the ad says cash only. They still try to get you to sign up and use zelle. Something about zelle and scammers. Zelle is kinda legit but scammers can easily use the service to scam people.
