    On March 22 2024 I purchased an ************* through Mercari for my child under 13. On March 28 2024, I received notification item was delivered in mailbox which is obviously impossible. When we look in the mailbox we find a small package that my son opens up. It has the same tracking number and name of Seller as the email confirmation. When he opens it we found *** cards sent to a minor. I immediately contacted Mercari who not until yesterday March 31 is when they requested a return label for sexual items sent to a minor and advised once reviewed they will process the refund. I am furious disgusted and I definitely got scammed by the seller and Mercari whom I still can't believe after providing photos still requested the item to be returned.

    They allow fake descriptions on items. Buyer beware and buy at your own risk.
