All refunds will be processed via the credit card company used at the time of purchase.

Since refunds are processed via credit card companies, Mercari cannot provide a specific refund date.
After Mercari completes the refund process, it may take additional time for the refund to be reflected on your balance, depending on your card company’s billing cycle and cutoff date.

For more information, please check your credit card statement.

If you purchased multiple items using the cart feature and only one or some of the items are cancelled, you will be refunded for the price of the cancelled item(s) and a portion of the shipping fee related to those item(s).
