    How we check Mercado Libre

    No evidence of problems with Mercado Libre. Our last recorded check found it behaving normally. That does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

    Every check runs a four-tier cascade and stops at the first tier that gives a clear answer: Mercado Libre's official status feed, then a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP network ping, and finally reports from visitors. The Verification tier box above tells you which one produced the verdict you are looking at. When enough separate people report a problem for it to be well outside what Mercado Libre normally sees, that counts as evidence too, which is how a partial fault can show here before an operator's own status page catches up.

    Mercado Libre (mercadolibre.com) is re-checked continuously, and this page picks up any change on its own, with no refresh needed.

    Common Mercado Libre problems users report

    • Cannot complete a purchase or proceed past the shopping cart
    • Product listings and search results are not loading or showing outdated inventory
    • Account login fails or session keeps getting disconnected
    • Payment processing is rejected or times out during transaction

    What to do when Mercado Libre is not working

    First check the banner above. If it shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Mercado Libre's side and waiting is usually the only option. If it shows nothing wrong, Check your internet connection and try accessing Mercado Libre from a different browser. If you're selling, verify your Mercado Libre shop settings and product listings are still active. For payment issues, confirm your registered payment method in Mercado Pago (Mercado Libre's payments service) hasn't been declined. If you were in the middle of a purchase, clear your browser cache and try again, or use the Mercado Libre mobile app to complete your transaction.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Mercado Libre down right now?

    No. Our checks are finding no problems with Mercado Libre right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Mercado Libre continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

    What usually goes wrong with Mercado Libre?

    The problems visitors report most often on this page are checkout or payment, can't log in, website / app down, orders or tracking, search not working, can't connect and 5xx error pages. Those are the options the report button offers for Mercado Libre, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

    Why is Mercado Libre not loading for me when this page says it is fine?

    Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Mercado Libre specifically, Mercado Libre's regional infrastructure is split across Latin American data centers, and payment processing routes through separate acquiring networks that can fail independently from the main marketplace platform. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

    How do I tell whether it is Mercado Libre or my own connection?

    For Mercado Libre, try loading the homepage and searching for a common product from a different device and network, then attempt to add an item to your cart without completing purchase. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

    What should I do while Mercado Libre is down?

    If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Mercado Libre's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly retry checkout as this can create duplicate payment attempts or frozen orders, and do not attempt account password resets as these may fail silently and lock you out longer. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

    How does status.buzz check Mercado Libre?

    Continuously, around the clock. Mercado Libre does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe mercadolibre.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Mercado Libre says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

    Is status.buzz affiliated with Mercado Libre?

    No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Mercado Libre or mercadolibre.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Mercado Libre's own support, not us.
