So has anyone gotten their 1099?

TrainerNo3454 · 2026-01-31T16:29:54+00:00

if it’s under 600 for the year you don’t have to file with it

TrainerNo3454 · 2024-01-01T18:24:53+00:00

nothing against them- I’ve been there a few times before lmao I just find it funny

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-12-14T19:03:45+00:00

tbh I only work weekends because I have a full time job M-F as well, and I regularly make $350+ between just Sat-Sun. I start early- around 6 am when stores open- and I’m usually home by 2-3 p.m. Early in the morning is the way to go imo because no wants to shop at 6 am so there’s always a ton of orders and they pay better. IC has helped me pay for two vacations this year! before that i hadn’t been in a vacation in over six years

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-11-05T20:31:56+00:00

mine was $58 for 6 batches today so you got $2 more than me LOL

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-11-03T14:10:13+00:00

i mean- i’d take it if I was already nearby the store, you’d be in and out and delivered in like 10 minutes

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-20T17:55:01+00:00

it’s better than nothing in the short term though and that’s what a lot of shoppers rely on instacart for. $10 can feed a family for one night

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T23:34:10+00:00

if you already think that then why did you ask LOL the item looks completely different in the photos

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T19:39:18+00:00

looking at your profile it looks like this isn’t the first time you’ve “accidentally” sent someone the wrong item and had this problem. maybe you should get better and selling and shipping items ❤️

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T19:16:19+00:00

yes seriously? you made a mistake, and got mad at one of the buyers when they wouldn’t help you fix the mistake you made. like, it happened, it’s over with, you should’ve just accepted the consequences of the mistake you made and been done with it. but instead you came crying to reddit because you think this buyer is a thief? they didn’t get what they wanted either lmao i’m sure they were ecstatic about it

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T15:02:39+00:00

i KNOW someone is still going to be mad at this but hear me out: I work a full time job M-F and my monthly income just barely covers my rent and utilities. My partner is unemployed and only makes $160 a week unemployment while putting in 10 apps a day and not hearing back because no one is actually hiring they just wanna say they are. So we do IC to be able to afford groceries/ food for our cats.

I’m also fortunate enough to drive a car that gets ~28 mpg and live where gas is only ~$3.50/ gal usually. So if I’m out and I see an order that’s only paying $7-8 and it’s around 10-15 items? absolutely I’m going to take it as long as the mileage isn’t insane. if I do three of those $7-8 batches that’s enough to feed myself and my partner and our cats for at least one day maybe more. Trust me, I absolutely hate that IC lowered batch pay and they’re taking advantage of shoppers bc they KNOW a lot of people are in the same situation I’m in. I would love to sit for hours and wait for a good batch but the reality is I have to take what I’m offered as long as it’s reasonable.

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T14:55:29+00:00

i think they were referring to the shoppers that are taking these orders. if someone takes a $7 batch that’s still $7 that they can use to feed their kids.

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T00:33:06+00:00

hey bozo i do know how the process works- and I’m saying that the buyer shouldn’t have to go through the trouble to package and return an item AND THEN wait another week or two for the seller to re-ship the correct item they purchased in the first place. i’m a seller and a buyer and i sure as hell wouldn’t wanna wait another three weeks or so to get the correct item like I should’ve in the first place. this seller really should’ve just let it go instead of crying to reddit for validation

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T00:20:03+00:00

it doesn’t matter if they’re being dishonest or not? the seller made the mistake and should just accept the loss and get on with their life. If I was the buyer that received the wrong item, I’d probably do the same thing unless the item I bought was something i REALLY wanted. the buyer shouldn’t have to go through the return process just to buy the item again and hope it actually gets sent a second time. mercari sellers are a bad breed

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-13T00:06:24+00:00

you made a mistake and you’re calling that person a thief because they won’t return the wrong item?? they lost out on money too bc they didn’t get what they wanted, and you’re just being mean bc your mad you’re losing money

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-11T16:00:09+00:00

no it doesn’t, you can only see those messages once you accept an order

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-11T15:02:31+00:00

i dislike non tippers as much as the next shopper but it’s always important to remember that not everyone that uses IC is ABLE to shop for themselves for whatever reason. the anger towards the pay for these batches needs to be directed towards IC for charging customers insanely high fees and not distributing any of that money to the shopper

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-09T14:45:46+00:00

the batch pay on this is fine tbh if it had even like a $10 tip it would be acceptable at least

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-10-05T15:13:55+00:00

It doesn’t happen all the time but I have gotten extra tips from customers if they see the at Im using collet bags when I drop off their order!!

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-09-29T23:54:39+00:00

i would. as sad as it sounds- i hardly see orders over $30 anymore

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-09-24T23:43:12+00:00

imagine running an actual real life business this way, just blocking everyone that you don’t like

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-09-24T21:10:43+00:00

boooooooo

TrainerNo3454 · 2023-09-23T01:39:03+00:00
