I've been on here for almost 2 years now. If you have been Shut down... do these steps to open a new account.
- Buy a New Phone (they go by your ESN #) Or use an iPad, iPod. Etc. - they block your esn # on your phone.
-make a google phone #, they recognize your phone # and will block you.
-buy a PO BOX (they block your address, even anyone in your household that's trying to use mercari)
-open a new checking account (doesn't matter what bank, just make a new one with a new account #)
And lastly...
-Make a new email account... DUH!
Do these steps and you'll be on the right track!
Mercari now lets you use your balance to make purchases, they used to before then they stopped, but now it's back!
When the app first started, it was free to post and didn't charge anything to sell... now obviously they need to make money, so, you'll have to pay a fee when your item sells. It's cool. Not to shabby. Fees are 10% of sold price. It has worked great for me after a year and a half. This is my 4th account Bc hey are VERY VERY STRICT on their rules and will shut you down and take your money and make it impossible to take your money (Credit) out if they blocked you from even signing in! So your screwed. REMEMBER: READ ALL THE RULES Before starting this app for your own benefit!
