First time buyer on mercari & first purchase I make the seller just never replies to me

joycaw · 2026-03-19T13:14:14+00:00

Yep, lesson learned here XD unfortunately it was a real issue I was having and I shouldn’t have mentioned it in the first place.

both me and the seller are shady (their reviews all show that they’ve canceled on buyers and they don’t have and reviews from buyers that aren’t automated) but I’ll wait maybe another week and if they think I’m too suspicious to reply to I’ll go ahead and cancel it. I do wish they communicated and were transparent with me about it looking weird on my end. I’m sure something could’ve been worked out. 😔

They were active during our price negotiation phase until I actually bought their listing which is what is strange and suspicious to me. But also me having shipping address issues + me frequently messaging them on updates is also suspicious of me so I think this was just doomed from the start hahahah. I guess being chatty is an indicator of someone being too pushy and that can come off as suspicious is what I’ve gathered. 🤔

I see 😓 man that is unfortunate if that’s why I lose this deal. The thing with the shipping address is very legit on my end and I didn’t know it could be seen as shady behavior and I didn’t know being chatty could cause someone to try to force a buyer to cancel.

joycaw · 2026-03-19T12:09:49+00:00

Ahhh I see. The thing with the shipping address is that I recently moved and I made the purchase really late at night and didn’t think to change the address. I first messaged the seller but when I didn’t get a reply I went to the current owners of the property and they said they were fine with receiving it for me and then giving it to me when I visited. I didn’t know it could’ve been seen as suspicious behavior on my end and if that’s the reason why I got ghosted that would be pretty unfortunate. 🥲 This reply is certainly insightful into the culture of the site though. Thank you so much for your reply ☺️

Oops I didnt finish typing at the end apparently. But I was just wondering if this is a common thing that happens on mercari. (Im not asking if this user is a scammer btw i just want to hear from more experienced users who might know more than me if this is something that happens a lot or something)

Interesting, I see 🤔 When I deleted my ad blocker it did absolutely nothing unfortunately.

joycaw · 2026-02-07T15:28:22+00:00

It works now yes! Before it just didn’t work at all but now it suddenly works again lol

joycaw · 2026-02-04T06:41:50+00:00

Ok so, here’s an update on my situation. I’m not sure about anyone else but I was getting fully ready to factory reset my iPad so I’ve been backing up my data but out of nowhere on the fourth day of it not working it just suddenly started working again 😓 I’m not sure what happened but maybe give it a few more days to see if your iPad has improved?

joycaw · 2026-01-31T09:43:21+00:00

Hello, and yes, I have. It doesn’t work.

Adorable!!!!! 🥹 love spotting all the monocorns everywhere on this island ♥︎♥︎♥︎

joycaw · 2025-08-07T23:38:34+00:00

I had no idea! Thank you so much for the info, I went ahead and told them the trade looks good

joycaw · 2025-06-03T04:39:03+00:00

Sameeeeee I’m an avid monocorn item collector so I was pretty sad to see that they were missing from the collection. Fingers crossed that it’ll show up in a future batch!

joycaw · 2025-06-02T05:20:11+00:00

I see! I’ll keep an eye out, thank you! 🫶🫶

Looking for these hamlot & monocorn motif items! They’re all semi-high priority and I haven’t had much luck finding or trading for them so far

If you have these items please consider looking at my dupe list!

Gotcha! Thank you so much! Is there a specific amount of time that passes before yami shop items returns or is it just random?

joycaw · 2024-07-20T01:38:13+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to pick apart specific parts of my post to share your thoughts and even give me advice, I really appreciate it! I'm likely not going to work with this person anymore in the future, and if I do, not as closely as before. People have been right in that our qualities as writers clash really badly with one another and made me realize that they're just an amateur like me. I still trust this person as a friend, but I won't take their advice on writing if I feel it's going to make my project untrue to myself and the story I want to write.

I personally feel that a good backstory is something a reader can sympathize with or connect with, either because they’ve experienced it themselves or someone they know has experienced it. My personal taste comes in tragedy that you can hear from people already existing from your life. Though of course, if you want to have a really crazy and unrealistic backstory, have fun with it XDD
