{"coverage_note":"Five discrepancy categories were checked for mercadolibre.com: (1) pricing discrepancies \u2014 no evidence found of hidden fees or checkout price divergence from listed prices; (2) availability discrepancies \u2014 no platform-level ghost inventory or bait-and-switch issues documented, though third-party seller fraud exists on all large marketplaces; (3) identity/merchant-of-record ambiguity \u2014 Mercado Libre's marketplace structure and dispute mediation role are disclosed in published terms and developer documentation, with no regulatory findings of systematic buyer deception about the legal counterparty; (4) policy discrepancies \u2014 individual consumer complaints (e.g., identity verification blocking refunds) were found on Trustpilot but no regulatory enforcement or class-action findings confirming a systemic gap between stated and enforced cancellation or return policies; (5) undisclosed transactional constraints \u2014 published marketplace terms for Mexico and Brazil openly describe payment method restrictions, and no independently verified mid-transaction capability failures were documented. All five categories returned no finding meeting the inclusion bar. No search scans were blocked or missing, though results in the availability category were partially dominated by unrelated marketplace fraud content, limiting depth of coverage there.","human_handoff_required_for":[],"record_verification":{"last_checked_agentic_scan":"2026-06-30","last_checked_human_verified":null},"vendor_id":"mercadolibre","verified_discrepancies":[]}
