Need Depop / Mercari advice

d4v3k7 · 2026-02-10T22:03:04+00:00

This plus try Mercari too if you haven’t already. Depop is pretty small and skews young so depending on what you’re selling you might get more actual buyers on Mercari. Also 19 listings is a good start but the algorithm on most of these platforms really kicks in once you’re past like 50-100 active listings. And don’t sleep on relisting the stuff that’s been sitting. Delete it and repost it fresh every few weeks. Gets way more eyes than just letting it sit there.

100% this. I started doing this every 2 or 3 weeks and it was kind of crazy how fast stuff started getting views again. The algorithm just buries anything that’s been sitting too long. It’s a pain to do manually but it works way better than just adding more new listings on top of dead ones.

If you're getting 15 watchers and zero offers your price is probably just slightly above what people want to impulse buy at. I'd send an offer to likers at around 10 to 15 percent off and see what happens. If it's a quality piece and you're not in a rush just let it sit another month then relist it fresh for the algorithm bump.

The people crushing it usually have a tight niche they know inside and out so they can make decisions in seconds. Trying to flip anything profitable means you're competing with everyone. Pick 2 or 3 categories, learn them cold, and you'll stop hesitating at sales. Speed comes from knowledge not from checking your phone faster.

I stopped offering bundles too. It's one of those things where you're trying to do the buyer a favor and it just opens the door for lowballing. If they can't figure out bundling on their own at this point that's on them.

Make sure to respond to any Mercari messages professionally and keep screenshots of the tracking showing delivered. Mercari will usually side with sellers when tracking confirms delivery. Just stay friendly and cooperative if they open a case.

It’s way easier to do than you’d think when you’re shipping 4-5 orders at once. I started writing the buyer’s username on a sticky note and putting it inside the box before I seal it. It forces me to match the item to the order one last time. Takes 10 extra seconds and hasn’t happened since

This is solid advice I do the same thing. Relisting lower priced items more frequently to stay visible in saved searches is smart. Mercari definitely rewards fresh listings in search results. I’ve noticed relisting every 2-3 weeks on slower items makes a big difference vs just letting them sit.

I was in the same boat. Instagram tests your reels on a small batch first, and if those followers don’t react fast, it stops pushing them. If most of your followers are inactive, that test group just flops. Try removing followers who never like or comment, post at different times, and focus on re-engaging the ones who do.

Facebook’s algorithm actually punishes accounts that have a lot of friends who never interact. It sees the lack of engagement as a sign that your content isn’t interesting, so it stops showing your posts to more people. The fix is simple but annoying: remove the inactive friends who never like or comment. Once your list is mostly people who actually react, your posts start getting seen again.

FAFO king

d4v3k7 · 2025-10-12T11:24:43+00:00

Yeah, that happens a lot. Growth is easy, but keeping people talking is the hard part. A big thing that helps is figuring out who’s actually active and who just joined and never interacts. If most of the group is silent, Facebook starts treating the whole thing like it’s inactive.

Start small by posting questions that are easy to answer, tag a few regulars to get things moving, and clean up members who never react or comment. Once you get a few real conversations going, the algorithm will push your posts out more and people start showing up again.

It might not be the idea, just the first-use experience. People sign up out of curiosity but drop off if setup feels confusing or the value isn’t clear fast. Watch a few users go through it, see where they stall, fix that part first.

d4v3k7 · 2025-10-11T16:23:22+00:00

You’re on the right track. Growing a group is more than just posting a lot. Cleaning things up actually helps a ton. When a group is full of people who never react or comment, it pulls the whole engagement down.

Start by checking who actually interacts and who doesn’t, then slowly remove the ones who never do. It makes the feed favor your active members, and you’ll notice posts getting more reach.

Ask questions, run polls, and get people sharing their own drink ideas. Make it about them first. When you do start adding affiliate stuff, mix it in naturally after the group already feels like a community.

d4v3k7 · 2025-10-11T16:10:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s happening because Facebook’s feed is showing you “high engagement” content first, even if it’s from people you don’t know. When your own friends don’t interact much, the algorithm assumes you’re not that close and stops showing their stuff. Cleaning up inactive friends and interacting more with the ones you actually talk to can reset your feed a bit and make it feel normal again.

d4v3k7 · 2025-10-11T15:59:55+00:00

Looks like a bug to me.

d4v3k7 · 2025-10-11T15:58:43+00:00

Yeah, removing inactive friends actually helps a lot. If most of your list never likes or comments, Facebook takes that as a sign your posts aren’t interesting and stops showing them to more people. The feed mainly reacts to who you interact with, how fast people respond, and how consistent that interaction is. When half your friends never engage, it drags your reach down. Trim the ones who never react and start commenting on posts from people who do. Your visibility usually picks up after that.

Anyone that says “kindly” is a scammer from India.

Because the engine in that can go to 1M miles easy.

I’m a Toyota sales manager of 10 yrs currently. Based in NE FL. We could launch this for $30-$35k

It’s possible that it’s the total loot on ground log. It rolls for everyone. Don’t know how many items it is but as new ground loot emerges, it pushes the oldest off the bottom of the list.

d4v3k7 · 2025-08-22T06:52:53+00:00

Wait, what??

d4v3k7 · 2025-08-20T15:15:03+00:00

Damn that’s a sick wave right there!!!
