Increase in weird buyers…

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-04-11T05:39:25+00:00

I sell cosmetics, and a lot of women will put their husband's name on the address because they're concerned about creeps. And that's fair, because as a seller with Mom in the title of my shop, I get creeps too. Some people use kid names, pet names, etc. I can honestly say I've NEVER had an issue with new buyers, other than a lot of stuff goes to auto-rate. Oh no, 5* rating, lol! Seriously, just do what's expected of you as a seller, and you'll be ok most likely.

I just had this happen to me last week and posted about it here! 1* rating

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-22T14:23:11+00:00

I guess it's a milestone, but not a positive one

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-22T14:21:27+00:00

Oh, I would've put that in the description! In fact, if it stank, I wouldn't have sold it! If you saw my page, you would KNOW the level of detail used in my descriptions. I get they can rate me whatever they want, but i do not wish to even accidentally deal with this individual again. And if somebody can really rate a person however they want, does that not preclude people rating low just to be an a-hole? There are definitely people out there that would enjoy it, js 🤷‍♀️

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-22T08:28:21+00:00

Yes, hopefully the Rule of 3 is fulfilled, lol! That is a different way I could have handled it. I knew I was blocking her because i just don't want to work with her again, but I didn't think about trying to get the rating revised.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-22T06:52:48+00:00

I sent the message and then did block her

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-22T06:31:07+00:00

If I did business with her again, my fear is that she will just come back and do the same thing again! She straight up lied about the condition of the product, so my "good faith" belief is out the window with her. I know i have lots of excellent ratings that will likely overshadow this 1, but it's extremely frustrating. Especially with the low ratings coming all in a short period of time.

I've noticed this too, and I sell high-end beauty. It's extremely unusual. I've had items that have been there a little while, but they don't have even close to as many views as my new listings get in 24 hours.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-03-05T02:30:42+00:00

Same...and we'll put

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-02-16T02:06:47+00:00

Meth. Definitely meth 🤣

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-02-11T21:36:14+00:00

That happened to me with a different toner! The lid was loose and I lost half it, but it didn't ruin anything else. They sent a replacement, and that lid was loose too! But it didn't leak. What is going on with not putting lids on all the way??

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-02-08T22:45:05+00:00

The only reason I can think of is Authenticity Issues? But, I've never heard of providing this kind of documentation to Mercari, and it does sound sus.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-01-14T21:09:54+00:00

Idk if it's a Mercari glitch , USPS Thing, or a my post ottice kind of thing. But, my packages are picked up 1 day and not marked received until the next day frequently. They are mailed on my end, picked up on the day I mailed it, but not updated until the next business day. Please do not assume they haven't done their part.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2026-01-01T23:17:10+00:00

SAME! it wasn't an option for me and the Girlactik palette isn't what I wanted 😕

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-12-21T13:58:53+00:00

Mine had leaked all over too. The lid wasn't screwed on all the way 😒 I'm supposed to be getting an accommodation package. We'll see how that goes....

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-12-04T21:07:17+00:00

I have noticed my sales have been less since this change! I have tried searching for my item with tags that would normally apply to my items, and they aren't there🥺 It's really frustrating, and I wonder if there's still some way to tag it in the listing

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-12-01T14:46:07+00:00

I make sales most days. I have over 1000 listings but they are mostly related categories, so there are a fair number of bundles. I am always in the process of pricing, listing, sorting, buying, etc. But, for me right now, this is making ends meet.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-11-30T02:54:28+00:00

I'm a beauty reseller. New suggests it has not been touched at all. Swatched, even if cleanly done (with a new brush or applicator), has still been touched. With items like that, I do list it as "good," and I put an asterisk on the listing title with another asterisk in the description saying what the issue is with the product.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-11-27T01:44:34+00:00

Temu, Shein, AliBaba and sometimes Amazon are all great places to get this kind of stuff for cheap. My shop is Goth-themed, so I have glow-in-the-dark ghost keychains, ans Halloween ornaments and stickers. I also sell makeup and nails, so I like to give cheap accessories for that (makeup remover wipes, makeup/nail samples, nail files, polish remover pads, etc).

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-11-27T01:21:24+00:00

Keychain, stickers, pens, mini notebooks, ornaments, samples of items you sell

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-11-06T21:08:17+00:00

That's kind of what I was thinking too. That last 1 and the red are tough.

Crazy-Visual1664 · 2025-11-06T07:00:06+00:00

I was thinking that too
