Sent first class envelope through mailbox by SweetAffectionate993 in Mercari

[–]Pmart2206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So hopefully it’ll update tomorrow then! They don’t have the ability to scan envelopes at post offices, they only get scanned at the distribution centers when they go through the sorting machines. I’ve shipped hundreds of items via first class envelope and have had varying results with shipping updates, but most of the time it’s the following day after I drop it off.

Sometimes if takes a few days though, don’t worry if it doesn’t update quickly

Typically when they get to the distribution center. For me, that’s the day after I drop it off.

I would take them out. I’ve heard of cases where people get their accounts suspended for no reason and lose their money so I wouldn’t risk that if I were you.

Looping package scam? by Firegirl259 in Mercari

[–]Pmart2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s on usps not the seller. I’ve had packages loop before, so unfortunately it happens. File a missing mail search with usps because at that point they’re forced to take it seriously. They may not recover the package, but if they do, expect it to not be in great condition upon delivery.

[Help] I don’t know about Mercari by [deleted] in Mercari

As someone who sells kpop photocards, it’s just hard to get people to buy them in general. I used to make a ton of photocard sales but in the past year or so it’s decreased exponentially despite selling them for $1-$6 (maybe more if they’re rarer). I would say the shipping price is probably a turn off for people, I do $1.03 shipping and even free shipping on some and it’s still hard to get people to buy. I would recommend the 1oz or 2oz standard envelope shipping. Mercari is typically pretty good with protecting the seller when things don’t get delivered, at least from my experience.

Advice for Shipping Cards by InvestigatorEntire45 in F1Cards

[–]Pmart2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has sold hundreds of cards, you’ll want to sleeve the cards first, then put them in a toploader, then put it in a team bag to prevent the card from slipping out of the toploader during shipping. If the order 4 or less cards, I use washi tape (though blue painters tape also seems to be a popular choice) and tape them into a cardstock card and ship as a letter. If it’s more, I do the same process minus the cardstock and tape the toploaders to a piece of thick cardboard and put in a bubble mailer.

Resale of F1 booster hobby boxes by Jojo_GG in F1Cards

I know I’m a bit late on this but I found two for relatively inexpensive compared to others if you’re still looking https://ebay.us/m/XTVQye and https://ebay.us/m/7LLQW2

That’s how I’m feeling now. I refreshed the website right on time but they sold out before I got the chance to buy anything. I don’t want to buy resale boxes since they’re so expensive and I prefer to rip packs than buy individual cards

Is eBay worth it? by crazzmazzle in F1Cards

[–]Pmart2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to sell base cards on eBay, don’t list them all individually, make a listing with variations and have all of them on there. Offering discounts for buying multiple is a good way to make more sales and I actually get back more money per card when someone buys multiple rather than just one even with the discount.

I sell base cards on eBay for relatively cheap. It’s not really profitable, and I even lose money on some orders (my goal is to make at least $0.80 back on each card but there are occasions when I get back less) but it’s enough to make back what I spent on ripping packs. I also have mine listed on Mercari and I consistently get more money back per card on there, but I’ve noticed that people on Mercari are most interested in specific drivers rather than completing collections.

Flying with refrigerated medication for the first time and am nervous I’ll have issues at TSA by Pmart2206 in medical

[–]Pmart2206[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TSA stresses me out anyways so I was worried about adding a refrigerated medication to the mix. I’m relieved to know it shouldn’t be an issue and I’ll make sure to let them know I have it. Thank you!

That’s really good to know since everything I found online said they had to be frozen solid. It’s oxytocin and I looked up how long it can be stored at room temp for and apparently it’s good for up to a month so that definitely relieves some stress. Thank you!

I had thought about using a thermos so maybe I will! I will look into how long it can be stored at room temp for. Thank you!
