We have been a customer of Merkandi for more than 5 years and are extremely satisfied with the platform and the service.
As Food Stock, we work daily in the international wholesale and stocklot business, and Merkandi has been a valuable partner for us for many years. We have made numerous new business contacts, found interesting suppliers and discovered many new opportunities through the platform.
The team is professional, reliable and always helpful whenever support is needed. We especially appreciate that Merkandi continuously develops the platform and connects wholesalers, distributors and stocklot traders from many different countries.
After more than 5 years, we can clearly say that we are very happy customers — and we definitely plan to remain customers for many more years.
Highly recommended from the entire Food Stock team!

I've been using Merkandi for almost a year now and have mixed feelings. The app is quite user-friendly and intuitive. As for the trading side, during that time, I've only concluded three transactions out of about 50 listed offers. Perhaps my offers aren't very attractive, but perhaps Merkandi should take steps to make the portal more popular among European companies—perhaps lowering subscription prices? However, I'm not giving up and have extended my subscription for another year.

Edit to Merkandi reply :
Dear The Merkandi Team
Thanking you for your prompt reply.
All the fees, zero responsability. Leave the e-market of Merkandi to its devices. Try the membership for 14 days? wait a minute ...but as a paid member if you want to see the sellers contact details and actually use the platform for what you paid for, you have to waive your right to claim a refund.
Thank you for proving my point. By taking zero responsibility for the seller tactics happening on Merkandi. Claiming sellers "don't have time" to update listings doesn't explain an out-of-stock listing staying active for a month while the seller tries to upsell me via WhatsApp. Mind you the listing in qiestion is still there even now 13th Aug while the seller has made other new listings but fails to remove the old cheaper one.
Digging into my private messages to point out I bought from someone else doesn't change the fact that the platform incentivizes listings to trap buyers into non-refundable subscription fees.
Kind Regards,
Deez
previous review:
I tried using Merkandi for three weeks after seeing a lot of used and returned products advertised at a good resellable price. The specific lot looked great and had been advertised for two weeks before I finally decided to sign up.
Here is where the trap starts: once you pay the subscription fee, you still cannot see the seller's contact details. To access them, I was forced to agree to a condition stating I would waive my right to a refund and lose my subscription fee. I accepted because I was serious about buying the lot.
I reached out to the seller via email and WhatsApp. They took days to reply, only to tell me they were on holiday and that I needed to wait two weeks to do business. I patiently waited. When they finally returned and I tried to complete the order, they suddenly claimed the product was "out of stock." Conveniently, they offered me a similar product that was twice as expensive (ebay price).
When I checked the Merkandi marketplace, the original "out of stock" lot was still active. I asked the seller why, and they made an excuse about not updating their stock. Yet, here we are 4 weeks later, and that exact same lot is STILL listed. It was clearly a bait-and-switch tactic used to clickbait buyers into paying for a Merkandi subscription.
Obviously, this is a platform built to protect sellers, not buyers. Most of the positive reviews seem to be either paid advertising or written by sellers liquidating stock. If you are a buyer, do yourself a favor: read the bad reviews first and see what this platform is really like before throwing away your right to a refund.

Membership is great,and all the transfers i got were excellent.

I registered on Merkandi expecting a transparent service, but immediately realized it did not meet my expectations. I requested a cancellation and refund almost right away, without having properly used or consumed their service.
Customer support completely refused to issue a refund, hiding behind the claim that this is strictly a "B2B transaction" to bypass basic consumer rights and cancellation policies.
I registered as an individual, yet they treat every sign-up as a business to avoid issuing refunds. This is an unfair and anti-consumer practice.
I have already initiated a chargeback/dispute with my payment provider and reported this situation to consumer protection authorities.
Warning to potential buyers: Be extremely careful before paying. Once they have your money, their support will refuse to help or refund you regardless of the circumstances.

The platform is well structured and useful for companies looking for wholesale opportunities across Europe. The product categories are easy to browse, the account features are clear, and it provides a professional environment for B2B trading. I appreciate the possibility to connect with suppliers and buyers in one place, which can save time and make wholesale business development more efficient.

I am sharing my personal experience with this platform.
I registered on 17.03.2026 and paid for access using my personal bank account as a private individual. On 18.03.2026, within one day of the purchase, I submitted a request to withdraw from the contract in line with EU Directive 2011/83/EU.
Based on my experience, the company refused to issue a refund. In their response, they stated that my account was treated as a business account due to the registration details provided.
From my perspective, this classification does not reflect the nature of my purchase, as it was not made in the course of any professional or business activity.
I was also informed that I had waived my right of withdrawal via a pop-up shown after payment. To the best of my knowledge and understanding, this does not meet the requirement for prior and explicit consent under EU consumer protection rules.
Despite several attempts to resolve the matter directly, we were unable to reach a solution.
This review reflects my personal experience and understanding of the situation. I recommend that others carefully review the terms and conditions and ensure they fully understand the implications before making a purchase.
I am open to updating this review if the issue is resolved.
