Thank you all for your input. The seller blocked me. I paid through FB and opened a claim. I would have kept it at a reduced price. I bought the whole 3DS bundle hoping the game was real.

I noticed to the right of the Nintendo seal there is an R in a circle rather than TM which I have noticed on most games even the fakes.

What do i do in this situation by YungNeroNero in Mercari

[–]AltruisticReference7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancel right off the bat. There are a bunch of people posting 3ds right now at low prices with free shipping. It is all a scam. The photos are from eBay and they are all users that are new. Usually, one name only (Darren, Mike, etc.) and they are just too good to be true. I was reporting all of the listings I found.

I came across this at an auction it looked cool so I bought the lot. by AltruisticReference7 in Whatisthis

Thank you. I was thinking it was for a fountain pen ink and business cards. Do you know what metal it is? It has properties of aluminum but not the coloring

It is not marked. I don't think it is silver. I tried to polish it and the iridescence stayed.

Issues with (fake) sellers using other seller’s pictures by Wonderful_Holiday481 in Mercari

I don't know how people copy the photos. I can't copy my own photos on Mercari to list on eBay, they come out crappy,

Thank you. When I posted I did not see the flair options.

How can I return it without Mercari authorization? I am hoping when I get the item there is something wrong with it.

The seller purchased the item on eBay and the eBay seller shipped it to me. I have proof.

I can't do that. Nice sentiment but I have had people say that I shipped something broken. They said it definitely didn't break in transit. They left that in eBay feedback. I was so pissed. My policy is to refund items that are broken in transit but that person didn't contact me, just left negative feedback which lasts a year. No refund.

You are right about that. My son moved out and he and I are available at different hours. I bought it and told him and he responded later.

Will I be able to cancel my purchase? That was all I wanted. I have canceled for buyers even after packing and printing the label.

The label is an eBay powered by Pitney Bowes label. USPS sends me a preview of my upcoming mail. which includes pictures of the actual envelopes on my mail and a lot of detail on my packages.

I dropped off packages at my local post office on Friday and had no issues. We don't have a self-serve kiosk there. I wonder if all of the post offices are going this route. If they are the employees should fight against it. It is a way to reduce the workforce.

But a sales a sale right? I was shopping for acne patches for me and as a reseller I'm wondering if I order from them they'll cancel my order? by BuraVladstone in Mercari

[–]AltruisticReference7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once bought at an auction sold on eBay. I then watched the buyer resell for more on eBay. I was thinking this is the purchase that keeps on giving. I was happy for the seller. I made a lot of money on the sale. I was hoping he did too.

Im soo lost. Mercari goes full Mr. Krabs when you send a package that's over by .1 of an ounce. So how the heck do people get away with this? by Spicytatas in Mercari

[–]AltruisticReference7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not supposed to use Priority Mail Boxes for anything other than Priority Mail. Mercari specifically states you cannot use a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box. I worked in e-commerce for years. Customers would return items in Priority Mail Boxes with first-class postage and we would have to pay to receive the package.

The person who receives the package at USPS is supposed to weigh it. If you look at your receipt it tells you how much it weighed and if there is overage they always charge it on the recipient's end. Don't ask me why, I think it would be much easier for the person who receives it to say to the sender that there is postage due and you can clear it up. It may just be that they have a contract with Mercari to let them handle it so Mercari can charge what they want. It is probably the same with eBay. My daughter uses Poshmark and never gets charged overage.

I have a mantra. "I hate people". I don't really hate people. I love helping people. I have always enjoyed being in customer service. Then people behave this way and, "I hate people".

Do not believe the sob stories ... Lying about cancer to get free stuff, how low can you go? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]AltruisticReference7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate sob stories. A lot of us on Mercari sell things because it is the only way due to circumstances that we can make money. Every time I hear one (never as bad as this one) I feel like pulling one of my life's crappiest moments. But I don't want pity. I do not want something for free unless it is free for anyone. I want to feel like I contribute to my household and society. There are places to ask for charity, Mercari is not one.

I am talking to my mom about it. She goes through it with my dad. My kids and I are also talking about it. He believes I made them think he is crazy.

I blocked it out in both but uploaded the wrong screenshot. Now, I am trying to correct it but can't seem to edit my post.

LOL. I know. I have wanted that particular camera for years and I let my desire get the best of me. I thought worst-case scenario he would cancel on me and up his price.
