How do returns with review by Mercado Libre work

When a buyer returns a product to our warehouse for any reason, we make the respective review and verify its condition in the following way:

 

  • If the product is unopened, has the security seal, and is in excellent condition, it is automatically restocked!

  • If it has been opened and the product is not suitable for sale, we will have it ready for you to pick it up.

  • If it does not comply with the return policies or does not match what the buyer described in the complaint, we will refund you the money from the order.

You can see the result of the product review in the order detail.

Which returns are reviewed by Mercado Libre

All returns of the following products that have been sold at Full have Mercado Libre's review: 

 

  • Cell phones, notebooks, netbooks, tablets and smartwatches.
  • TVs and monitors.
  • Computer accessories, speakers and earphones.
  • Sneakers, boots, sandals, bags and clothing.
  • Fryers, mixers, blenders and coffee machines.
  • Appliances.
  • Household items, furniture and garden.
  • Tools.
  • Jewelry and watches. 
  • Beauty and toiletries.

 

If an order with more than one unit of the same product is returned, it will go directly to you for your review as long as you have a local return address set up in your account, otherwise, you will have to create a pick-up.

*As of March 2022, it will be mandatory for cell phones that the IMEI code is fully visible on the product's packaging to restock them. We strongly recommend not to cover it with labels or accessories when preparing the inbound.

How Mercado Libre reviews the returns

Basic visual and functional checks are performed to verify that:

  • The buyer returned the correct product.
  • The buyer sent all the accessories received.
  • The buyer sent the product in the same conditions described in the complaint.
  • The product does not have marks of misuse.
  • The product turns on correctly and it’s not blocked.

There are cases in which Mercado Libre will not be able to cover you and will refund the buyer:

  • If the product was opened and is in good condition.
  • If it does not work or does not have marks of misuse.
  • In some cases when the device is blocked.
  • If we verify that the product has the problems that the buyer described in the complaint.

In all these cases it will be ready for you to pick it up at our warehouse, with the option that suits you best.

How to pick up the products that cannot be restocked

  1. Go to Listings, and click on the Full Stock Management tab. Then click on the Stock not up for sale section. You will be able to access it at any time.
  2. Choose the product you want to pick up and click on Pick-up products. You will find the returned units that you have to pick up as Not for sale.
  3. Set the quantities.

After picking up the returned products, how do I identify to which order each product belongs?

  1. Look for the order ID on the returned package. All returns have this code. You will find it on the label that Mercado Libre attached to the package.
  2. In the Order section, enter the order ID in the search box and press enter.



  3. Done! You will have detailed information on the order to which the return belongs, the date on which the review was made, and its result.
