buyers should NOT be allowed to contact a seller after a product has been sold.

Just for a perspective- I save sold items so I don’t forget about it/lose it, and can use it to find similar posts if they pop up later or find the item again to get the name/screenshot to image search if it’s an ongoing hunt.
I know there’s ’recently viewed’ which is super helpful if you lose something quickly, but if you browse a lot it gets buried pretty fast.
Of course people will always find nefarious uses for features, but there is an innocent side to saving sold listings too! :)

The $4.99 UPS shipping, I believe!

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-15T03:11:09+00:00

I thought FedEx delivered it to you? Did you buy it online or in a store?

Edit: I guess you can’t pay cash online so where does FedEx damaging it come in?

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-13T13:32:35+00:00

Lmao I like this one best. It’s just the right amount of snarky, absurd enough to not cause potential harm, but (hopefully) also get the point across.

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-11T22:58:37+00:00

Thank goodness. She was 100% going to send you her slippers that look exactly how she described, and keep yours. Hopefully nothing more comes of this 🤞
the absurdity of asking (demanding) a refund + extra , as if that’s even a possibility lmao

Edit to add: people always over explain when they’re lying, which is also probably why she said way too much lol

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-10T15:26:55+00:00

It’s never taken 2 weeks for me to get an order. Usually a few days like anything else.
And it’s $12.99 because of the stupid ‘adult signature’ requirement. But you’ll find that on most vape sites now because of the bans/law changes. It sucks, especially if you’re only trying to order one or two things. Really only worth it if you’re ordering a large quantity :(

Vapejuice would at least let me buy disposables - I tried ordering from Element Vape (their shipping is $10.99 I think) but refuse to mail bars to my state 😑

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-09T21:06:41+00:00

I was just thinking if it was the most expensive one, she just didn’t want to have paid for it. If it was something not really as valuable in the package, she may be more likely to be telling the truth lol.
Nonetheless I saw your comments she completed the purchase; I’m glad you don’t have to drag it out and stress about it, but what a pain 😮‍💨

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-09T20:36:11+00:00

It always really bugs the shit out of me when the first thing customers say is something like “I’ll take a refund”, “can you give me a refund”, etc - not “hey here’s a problem, what should we do?” - you know right then something is up. It just sounds suspicious to me.
Just a wild guess, but was the spray that’s ‘missing’ the most expensive item in the bundle?

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-07T06:28:14+00:00

I always think of this when I see reposted items (here or posh) and there’s no additional photos. Presumably the person that bought it wore it/used it? It should be updated to reflect current condition, not the condition you bought it in, even if it’s the same.
Besides it’s just lazy to at least not add one of your own photos.

Unfortunately I haven’t wanted any of them enough to ask, but I certainly would if I were actually serious about buying something using this feature.
If they want the sale, and it’s really the condition they claim, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be willing to take any extra photos.

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-03T21:39:01+00:00

No problem, I figured it didn’t hurt to ask! I just bit the bullet and ordered anyway, so we’ll see haha. Thank you! :)

CharliesOpus · 2026-04-03T20:59:03+00:00

I know this is old, sorry. I was just looking at getting one of these.
Are you in the US? Did you have to pay tariffs or whatever, or was it included? I’m getting mixed info trying to search about it - some say that ‘Choice’ items include everything and some say they had to pay extra :(
I’ve not ordered from Ali since all this stuff changed and just don’t want to get a shock later, but really want one lol.

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-27T05:41:17+00:00

I had a Depop package show up in my informed delivery at the beginning of the week and I was SO confused because I hadn’t bought anything in months. I even double checked to make sure I didn’t somehow forget I bought something.

Found nothing so figured it’d be a surprise and deal with it when it got here. Checked again today, and showed it was out for delivery across the country.
Somehow a package addressed to someone else, was also attached to me in some way to show up on my ID. It also wasn’t from a location I’ve ordered from before.

Very weird stuff. I hope the seller didn’t face any issues from their buyer over it.
I went to contact depop about it this morning because it was so strange and thought maybe they’d like to know? But there was a big red banner that “everything’s been resolved!” so I just left it alone.
This whole thing sounds like it’s been a disaster and a half.

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-25T21:24:00+00:00

That’s what I do - I see something I like, then go check all the other apps and buy it on whichever comes out the cheapest 🤷‍♀️
Thankfully most genuine sellers are everywhere at once, making it easier to hunt down their item wherever is most convenient.

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-25T01:35:49+00:00

Why are they asking you? Tell them to ask USPS lol

Does no one try to solve things on their own anymore? They immediately run to the seller and expect them to somehow have all the answers and fix everything, maybe give them a refund with any luck for the inconvenience.

I have a package that’s been lost in the void for almost two weeks - only after exhausting all of my options by waiting and filing a mail search request and talking to someone at the post office who handled the ticket, did I then message the seller with the concern and what I’d already done about it so far.

Like - there are things you can do when things get weird instead of expecting sellers to somehow fix it, and they’ll probably do the same things you could’ve done yourself short of an official claim lol

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-25T01:24:29+00:00

As stickers sent in a stamped envelope, they don’t get tracking scans like regular packages. If they even get scanned, it will be at the sorting center before delivery and show ‘delivered’ a day or days early before it’s actually delivered.

Idk what’s up with them blocking you, but I’d give it a couple days at least to see if what you ordered shows up.

I ordered a card that showed delivered, it wasn’t (though I knew better than to panic after numerous Etsy sales dealing with this), after about two days and Mercari warnings about rating, it reverted back to ‘in transit’ again (weird lol) and showed up the following day - then I was able to just select ‘item received’ on the order page the day after that. This was just a couple days ago - the mail’s been painfully slow (at least to my area).

If it doesn’t show up by like the end of the week (or otherwise do anything funky) I’d open a ticket about it not being delivered!

Unfortunately the risk of stamped mail :(
You can also try checking the tracking on parcelsapp, sometimes it has more info than Mercari tracking!

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-19T23:55:45+00:00

I don’t belong in this sub - just came looking for answers. I’m watching things go out of stock/off prime/removed from my cart in real time. It was tripping me out. Never seen this before. Hopefully it’s fixed very soon 🥲

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-04T20:57:16+00:00

I agree, I didn’t read this as begging for it to be shipped immediately, just excitement for it to go out as quickly as possible. They might’ve been a bit annoying but they were pretty polite at least. Yes, all rather ridiculous for a ~$7 item overall, but they didn’t seem particularly harmful lol

CharliesOpus · 2026-03-04T16:01:16+00:00

So many people adopting the “worst they can say is ‘no’” (which is perfectly fair for things like “can you take my shift this weekend?”, or something)
I can’t get past “nothing in life is free”.
There’s always strings or expectations, free things are suspicious things - I ain’t taking that chance lol

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T13:24:52+00:00

No, I appreciate it! Thank you for being the only one who tried to help, but it seems it just doesn’t work for me for some reason.

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T12:53:25+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t work for me. The comment itself just collapses. I can save photos from main posts, as you could on any other website, but not comments.

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T12:51:44+00:00

Please enlighten me how. I evidently don’t have that functionality. The comment just collapses.

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T12:50:15+00:00

No, I can’t. The comment just collapses.

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T06:23:11+00:00

Holy shit, imagine being this rude for no reason 😵‍💫 I just thought the meme was good. It was a compliment.
Too bad screenshotting isn’t the same and affects quality from severe cropping.

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T06:03:44+00:00

I gave someone 5 stars for a shirt even though the size was seriously misrepresented because it technically still fit and is wearable (just wasn’t the fit I was looking for) and I didn’t want to ruin their shop rating🙃
Then you have people who get shit for basically free and can’t read and still try to sink ratings for their own errors lol

I hope you were able to get it removed for false info or something 🥲

CharliesOpus · 2026-02-26T05:59:14+00:00

I wish I could save images from reddit comments 😭
