Fraud alerts (stop shipping)
After the payment approval, and due to the relationship with banks and
cards, we may receive an alert that the order is a fraud and to avoid a
financial expense, you shouldn´t send the merchandise to the buyer.
In this case,
or order is marked with the tag "fraud_risk_detected" and
we send a notification with the topic "orders_v2" with the ID of this order.
Once identified, the order must be canceled. Case the seller has already
been sent products, it will be necessary to check or send it through the
Mercado Libre or Mercado Pago sites.
Total_amount_with_shipping calculation
With the response that you get in the GET /orders/:id request and the request to GET /shipments/:shipping_id resource, both with the header x-format-new: true, you have to do the next calculation:
| total_amount_with_shipping = total_amount + taxes.amount + lead_time.cost |
|---|
*With the same item currency.
The total_amount and taxes.amount are obtained by the /orders resource, and the lead_time.cost resource is obtained from the /shipments.

What will happen to a sale based on its delivery?
Without Mercado Envíos: The seller will be notified by e-mail or phone.
- If the item has already been delivered and there is evidence of that, the seller is covered in the event of a chargeback. This means that the sales money will not be deducted.
- If the item has not been delivered yet, the seller should refund the money.
- Learn how to make a refund via API in Refunds and cancellations.
- For more information, we suggest reading the documentation of “Seller Protection Program Requirements”.
With Mercado Envíos: If the label has not been printed yet, the sale will be cancelled and a notification will be sent to the seller. Otherwise, if the item has already been shipped, Mercado Libre will notify the shipping company to return the item.
Search orders
You can use the /search functionality of the /orders resource to make searches with filters. Note that /search does not perform any action if it is not followed by a filter.
You will be able to see those orders canceled manually, that is, with status manually_cancelled and those that have an item removed, using the search as buyer. If you search as a seller, you will continue to filter such (canceled) orders.
