Should I report?
I bought an item the other day that I’ve had it in my likes since the end of last year. The reason I ended up buying it was because I got a notification saying the price was reduced. I ended up paying around $30 for it. 2 days later Mercari emailed me saying they reminded the seller to ship it. I guess that same day the seller messaged me, but I didn’t see it until yesterday morning when I went to check on the item to see if it shipped or not. They messaged me asking I could cancel the order since it was “relisted by accident”. I was annoyed, but continued to cancel the order anyways. I think I selected the reason “bought somewhere else” since there wasn’t an option related to “seller asked me to cancel”.
I got my refund back today, but what doesn’t make any sense is the item is back in my likes and still available for sale? It also shows it was originally posted a few years ago. Why ask me to cancel if you’re still going to keep it listed, and at the same price? I’m debating messaging them about it or reporting the listing as “no intent to sell”. Is there something I don’t know? Why do sellers do this?
I also just noticed now my account has a “This buyer canceled. This message is an automated posting by Mercari.” under my reviews, which is annoying because I feel like I didn’t have a choice during that moment. I was going to buy the item from another seller but now with this on my account I’m slightly worried.
