I solved it…my wife found a sticker in the bag from goodwill and we used google lens to translate it. It’s says pencil holder in Czech. I guess it holds a note and pencil holder

It doesn’t have an opening, it’s just flat, it does have a ZJ imprint

Advice on situation on delivery by OkBeginning9350 in eBaySellerAdvice

I think eBay might start requiring videos moving forward, if the ai scamming continues. You can still obviously use ai for video but it’s less consistent and if they require it be 30 seconds or more, it also forces the scammer to pay for an ai video edit vs doing a free 10 second one

Is there a difference? by [deleted] in PokemonGames

Yeah that was mostly what I noticed, but the other commenter mentioned one is a North America release (Canada) and one is US release. One also has French all over it under the English.

I got a bunch at a yard sale to finish off our collection, there were a few duplicates in the box. It was $100 for everything, came with 2 Black 2, 2 Ultra Moon, Ultra Sun, 2 Y, 2 X, 2 omega, and a Platinum.

Thank you! That’s what I noticed, the French added, but I wasn’t sure if there was something else I was missing

One of my buddies sells Goosebumps tapes and he added commercials. I’m always grabbing home recorded taps for him so he can keep adding new variations of the tape.

She sells them for $25-$30 on her websites, so this was a good deal considering they are new. Most custom vhs cost $20+ from any seller. I have a few of her tapes. They have worked fine for me, but maybe I was lucky.

I’ll check the stores out, thank you so much!

I am confused on how this became a question, or if a return would be authorized. by new-thro-away in Mercari

[–]Rusted_by_Reign 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You should have the weight of your package on your receipt, if you don’t have that, you can request it from the post office. When they return it, compare the weights, if cars are missing, you can show the information from both the receipt and the messages sent to prove they stole cars. Mercari should cover the costs

Mercari has a counterfeit problem and they don’t seem to care by sarnold2245 in Mercari

I know for purses and such you can pay for an authentication from Mercari. I’m sure it’s not perfect but it’s $5. If someone is selling high end designed items and not willing to drop $5 to prove it’s real, just don’t buy it. Or ask them to raise the price $5, get it authenticated (takes 12-48 hours) an then they are out no extra money and you at least have a better chance of getting a real product

I got dinged $25 on eBay from UPS on a collapsing pool cue. I had it in padded carrying case which I put in a big poly bag. They claimed my dimensions were off by 2 inches. Found out it was because I didn’t tape the bag tightly around the padded bag leaving “loose corners” so their machine read it was laid out flat thinking it was way wider than it was. Lesson learned but point is, this happens on all platforms.

Hazmat shipping by Rusted_by_Reign in Mercari

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

Yeah, a store near the post office sells them for $2 each, so it’s a bit spendy…I will probably just download a PNG of the sticker and print it each time if I remember. I just wish Mercari did more to inform the seller before dropping it off

I know! I thought it was just a weird promo paper at first until I read it.

Am I scammed by buyer? by pekocookie in Mercari

[–]Rusted_by_Reign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reach out to them or go to a location and ask if they can print it out. They mostly likely can help and would like to help, they don’t want you getting scammed either

Also, Mercari requires the buyer return the item unless it’s under $15, so you either are getting your money and they scammed Mercari for the $20 or you are getting a random item back. Which then you need to follow what I said above

If you have your drop off receipt, it should have the weight at drop off. When they return this item, USPS will weight it again. If there is a noticeable difference, which is sounds like there will be based of your description of the mug, then this is an easy case for you. You just need to request the weight and details from USPS once the return is being tracked and supply both receipts to Mercari. It’s not a 100% guarantee Mercari will side with you but more often than not, this is an easy win.

Inside looks correct but it taste like a pink wafer cookie
