We, the concerned sellers of Mercari, are calling for an immediate end to the abusive policy that prevents us from seeing buyers' reviews before leaving our own. This unjust practice undermines transparency and fairness in online transactions, putting sellers at a significant disadvantage. We urge Mercari to rectify this issue promptly and restore balance to their platform.

1. Lack of Transparency:
Mercari's current policy denies sellers access to crucial information about buyers' past experiences with other sellers. By withholding this vital feedback, Mercari hinders our ability to make informed decisions when accepting offers or negotiating prices. Sellers deserve transparency regarding potential buyers' reliability and behavior.

2. Unfair Advantage for Buyers:
Without access to buyer reviews, sellers are left vulnerable to unscrupulous individuals who may exploit their trust or engage in fraudulent activities. This lack of accountability creates an environment where bad actors can thrive while honest sellers suffer financial losses and reputational damage.

3. Inadequate Protection Against Scammers:
By not providing seller access to buyer reviews upfront, Mercari fails to adequately protect its user base against scammers and dishonest buyers who may engage in fraudulent practices such as false claims or unauthorized returns. Sellers should have the right to assess a buyer's credibility based on past interactions before engaging in any transaction.

4. Industry Standards:
Other reputable e-commerce platforms prioritize transparency by allowing both parties involved in a transaction (sellers and buyers) access to each other's reviews prior to making decisions or leaving feedback themselves. It is time for Mercari to align itself with industry standards that promote fairness and trust among users.

5. User Feedback & Support Requests Ignored:
Numerous complaints from frustrated sellers have been submitted through various channels including customer support requests; however, these concerns have largely been ignored by Mercari's management team thus far despite being brought up repeatedly over an extended period. It is crucial for Mercari to listen to its user base and address their legitimate concerns.

We, the undersigned sellers of Mercari, demand an end to this abusive policy that denies us access to buyer reviews before leaving our own. We call on Mercari's management team to prioritize transparency, fairness, and seller protection by implementing a system that allows sellers to view buyer reviews prior to leaving our own feedback.
