Are you sure it's not fake?
As for reporting, I've never had success in getting action on my reports on Mercari.
No I'm 99% sure it is fake, but I never reported it. I received, wasn't what I wanted, so threw in a drawer and moved on. Weeks later, I get an email from mercari that my transaction was cancelled.
Just concerned about the process since I've dipped my toes into the selling water...

Yup, it's fake.
I was concerned (after seeing evidence on several sites) that the keychain might have been wrongly reported and removed.
Please don't sell or donate it in the future.
So was there a part I missed, meaning did mercari contact the seller and she admit it was fake? It just seemed like I got a refund out of nowhere and never had to submit anything...
Yes, thanks for saying that. I will destroy the keychain so it doesn't end up anywhere but the landfill
That particular fake has been making the rounds. At least you took one out of circulation.
Mercari pet peeve: listing something as fair, scratches to hardware and only getting rated as "good, scratches to hardware, but so cute I'll keep it." So could the buyer actually have rejected the bag because of the disclosed scratches?
That is a recent change. It used to be only 4. Thanks for pointing it out. You can also create your listing on a desktop now. Nearly everything can be done on a desktop now, which makes it so much easier for me.
However, I get tons of likes but hardly any sales. I've never made a sale without a lot of talking back and forth with a buyer. It is much easier selling on other sites.
The Captcha on Mercari is such a pain in the neck - I finally decided to try listing a few things and gave up. I had to do the captcha to sign in then again to have a reset sent for password then again to try and reset - forget it. It wanted me to check off like all the boxes and just kept sending me like 5 of them - wound up listing back on ebay and tradesy. In the time I spent playing captcha I could have put my listings. I emailed them how annoying it was - got no response. I guess that says alot about how their customer service works. or doesn't.

I logged out and can't seem to log in either. Just keeps leading me in circles. I am able to get in if I go to my email, pull up a sold item and click on that link. Frustrating.
I haven't had a problem yet. I stay logged in all the time. So far, it hasn't logged me out, unlike ebay that makes me log in multiple times a day, and sometimes makes me log in after I have checked a bunch of items to edit, and then says the transaction can't be completed once I log in.
I haven't had this captcha issue on Mercari. I'm on there several times per day.( I sell on there but am planning on deleting my profile after this last transaction goes through )
Edited to add - that may have sounded a bit funny like I was doing something shady. I'm not, I list all my items accurately and never sell any fakes or knockoff stuff. I am just a bit over it all right now and don't feel like being bothered with it because I'm busy with other stuff so that's why I'm planning on deleting, not because I'm doing anything funny.

I've had some luck selling on mercari. My stuff sells for much lower than what I would get at a site such as ebay or tradesy but name brand items move fast and the percentage they take is lower. I also get the money faster. I'm afraid to sell really high end items (Ie Hermes bag ect) but have sold some more common brands with some success (longhamp, north face, louboutins).
