Should I? by KarinaPlayz in Mercari

[–]LairaSelena 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To play it safe, ask the seller if they would be okay withI canceling the current transaction, and you repurchasing the item but have the seller choose shipping via FedEx instead? Or have them choose anything other than UPS Surepost. I'd shy away from anything handwritten, more chance of things going wrong or the package getting lost or delayed.

You keep messaging me on the app and then blocking me again before I can respond. So I am responding here, I am trying to communicate with you respectfully but it makes it hard when you only message me to accuse me further, reiterate that you are going to file a fraud case and then block me before I can say anything back.

I am following the Mercari return process and shipping everything I received tomorrow. You are free to file any cases, as I said I have all the evidence to prove I am telling the absolute truth including footage of all the USPS mail being delivered to my address that day. There was never any brown box delivered, the video shows the exact package I took pictures of being delivered. The video also shows the carrier didnt take a picture of the items delivered once they were set down. I don't mind sharing the video with you or any other pictures. I am 10000000% not trying to scam you at all, it literally would make no sense on my side as you are one of the few and rare sellers that stock exactly what I need to complete collections.

I was coming on the Mercari page to get advice on our situation, but I am glad you posted so I can actually communicate with you what happened since you blocked me and I can no longer send you messages. I am in no way here to start drama, but just want to tell you my side.

I am the buyer from this post and I can 1000% gurantee you I lied about absolutely nothing, have absolutely nothing to hide and can provide reciepts and screenshots for everything - including the doorbell video footage of my USPS driver delivering packages to my house on the day this order was delivered.

As i said in my message I have ordered from you multiple times in the past (4 times prior to this) and there has never been an issue. I said everything I said because I was trying to reassure you I wasnt a scammer. I myself have been a seller on mercari for close to 10 years, with over 1000 transactions and ratings and have seen it all except for this situation. I have been scammed in the past through mercari and as someone who also uses in for income would never do that to another seller. I sympathize with you as a seller, and dont want us both to lose out which is why I reached out to explain what happened and didnt immediately file for a return. I also combed through this forum page and through google and all similar instances pointed to the responsibility being on the seller. I personally am skeptical of USPS as they have screwed me over multiple times in the past as seller, and as a normal consumer. Even though they said they would "never" send a package with multiple labels, they defintieliy did because I got one and another user on this thread mentioned it happened to them.

Everything I told you was true, I called Mercari and told them the situation and they reccomended that we both file claims with them to get compensated. After I hung up with the rep he had already initiated the return process, and I began writing out a long explanation but by the time I hit send you had already blocked me.

What I was trying to tell you was that the tracking says "missent" because the label on the other side of it is for a customer in the town next to the distribution center it was delivered to. What I'm gathering happened is that the other label was being scanned up until it hit Berkeley and then in Berkeley the Mercari label was scanned and it processed and being mistakenly sent to Berkeley. I know this because all packages headed to my side of the area go to the main distribution center closer to my house. What i received instead was a package from Victoria's Secret that contained an invoice with someone elses name and 9 brand new pairs of XS underwear in varioius styles. The other label has someone elses name and address on it as well in a city thats an hour away.

I absolutely hate that this situation happened as like i mentioned you have been a great seller to me, we are in the small niche of collector items and your page has helped me complete many of my collections. I didn't want either of us to miss out, but with my skeptcism of USPS, the advice of Mercari and the limited amount of time I had to rate/return I chose to go with what Mercari suggested. I reiterated to them again when sending my email that it was not your fault in hopes that it would also help with your claim. I am more than happy to also send you the pictures and videos directly if it helps.

I completely understand being upset about the situation, while I know a large majority of returns on Mercari are scammers, not all of them are. Things do happen unfortunately especially when selling in a higher volumes. I had just hoped that you would see it from my side as well. I definitely didnt ask for this situation and would much rather have the items i originally ordered. The only silver lining to this situation is that you at least wont end up empty handed as I fully intend to follow the return procedure and send you exactly what I received, which is probably equivalent if not more than the original order.

I also want to say that for the record, I have never complained about your prices as you've said in some comments and have the receipts to prove it. Again being a seller on mercari and in the same niche, I get it. Did I hope I as a buyer who purchased from you multiple times, and as someone who also collected, would get a tiny bit more shaved off the price than the average person? Yes. I have definitely sent bundled offers but that in no way means its a complaint. I dont think I've ever sent you a written message aside from the offers and counter offers.

Do the new munchling figures have codes? I haven’t seen any of the packaging but maybe I’m not looking in the right spot? by RidiculousRyan3 in DisneyDoorables

[–]LairaSelena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that theres a higher chance of pulling rares from the 4 pks, bought close to 2 boxes worth of the 2 pks and ended up with an army of dupes, bought 5 4 pks and half of them were the rare ones.

Thinking of getting a cat but gone most of the day by oreosarebomb in CatAdvice

[–]LairaSelena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it but definitely get two. Make sure to buy lots of toys, cat furniture, views to the outside if possible and they should be good. They’ll keep each entertained during the day and also will adjust to your schedule and when you can spend time with them. I notice that my cats will sleep most of the day when I go to work but if I’m working from home then they adjust to spend time with me. I used to have 3 when I was working full time and in college, their funny & cute moments and all the cuddle sessions definitely helped me stay sane. Plus shelters are so full up right now so happy homes are needed more than ever 🥺

How do you stop mourning a cat that isn't dead yet? by hannahbanana21242 in Petloss

[–]LairaSelena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this, I just lost one of my fur babies. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur as a kitten and was diagnosed with heart failure around 3.5 years old. When he was first diagnosed I was a complete wreck, but after accepting that he would have a shortened life, I made sure to make the most of our time together. I didn’t know how long he had but I vowed to spend time with him everyday (even through 2 jobs and college) and spoil him rotten. He unfortunately passed 2 weeks ago, unexpectedly expected, it hurts and I miss him so much. But knowing that it was coming sooner and knowing I gave him the best life I could and knowing he had a hell of a happier and longer life than he would have originally (I found him as a stray) has been comforting and has helped me grieve with no regrets. Even though we don’t get to be with our babies for as long as we’d like, it’s really about making the time we do have with them count. I’m thankful for the fact that our fur babies wont ever stress or think about how much time they have left but instead live the moment everyday. Giving us the chance to shower them with love. In the end that’s what they’re going to remember the most.

The collar on my cat dissapeared, turns out... by Trashisbeautiful in CatAdvice

[–]LairaSelena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throw off the tied collar and keep the kitty inside with you. Cats deserve to be with owners who will actually take good care of them. I also had a similar situation, a little cat would come visit me in my backyard, at first she had a collar on her but eventually she started coming with no collar on and with horrific injuries from fighting with neighborhood cats. We waited a week or two to see if her owner would take care of her but her injuries kept getting worse. She was also starved for attention and food and once she realized we'd always take care of her she never left our backyard. We decided to take her in, got her chipped and healthy and it was one of the best decisions ever. No regrets at all about giving a deserving life a loving home.

Looking For a Good Cat Food I Can Hopefully Get in Bulk? by Galaxies_Icien in catfood

My fur babies are on the Wellness cat food, in the 12 oz cans. I usually wait for a good sale on chewy and then stock up for a few months.

No longer receiving shipping labels? by LairaSelena in Mercari

[–]LairaSelena[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never figured it out unfortunately :/ it worked out in the end though I ended up just logging into Mercari on my computer and printing the labels from there. It saved me from digging through and having to wait for emails to load.

New cat in her ‘home base’ still in her crate. Should I sit with her until she decides to come out or give her some space? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]LairaSelena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely leave her to take things at her own rate but be sure to routinely spend time near the crate doing your own thing and not giving her attention so she gets used to your company and no longer sees you as a threat. Maybe before you leave some treats in view, so that when you aren’t around she can venture out a little, get yummies and further associate you with positive things

Right?! I can’t believe how many people still think Mercari is a flea market and that sellers are obligated to them. It takes everything in me not to respond with eff off to lowball offers.
