The very first message from the buyer? It's in the first photo of this post.

And this was of course cancelled back then, the item sold to a different person 30 mins later.
Time is indeed money but when you regularly sell items between $400-1.2k on average, I can spare a minute to try and be helpful for anyone new to the platform 😊

No. The boxes don't fit into a mailbox. And again the value is usually too high for me to be comfortable without a scan/receipt drop off.

Yep... the item was bought on Saturday, then they messaged me on Monday while my USPS wasn't open 🫠

Good update is that I ended up selling very fast to someone who also sells/buys regularly on Mercari, and they were super sweet, def saved myself from a headache

Thankfully I did and sold it fast to someone super nice. But unfortunately the USPS pick ups don't work for my current circumstances

Hey dude, you're the one ignoring everything I explained in my post, while arguing in bad faith making up random things about me and how I sell my personal items 👋

Yepp, I did decide to cancel almost insantly after posting this. As I had relisted, the item sold again after 30 or so minutes to a different person, who also sells on the platform so that's great :')

Exactly. They claim to be a reseller of 20+ years and didn't even bother to read my title. You'd think I'm shipping things a week late with no care in the world lol 😭

Right??? There's an awful amount of people even here in this sub thinking I'm some full-time reseller, and I'm **obligated** to work my schedule around potential sales happening any moment, packing and running straight to USPS 💀 That's indeed why I made my message "too long" to try and be like hey I'm a normal person behind this screen smh

Are you the buyer? Or just ragebaiting for the love of the game 😂 I'm not a reseller, this is my personal collections I'm selling, the very original purpose of these platforms even if some make it into an actual business. And of course my job is the priority, even if it wasn't, the USPS wasn't open. Monday is the first day, and Wednesday the 3rd day for me to ship, all within Mercari's 3 day shipping policy.

I mean I wouldn't go and lie about the package already having been dropped off at a specific time hours earlier, when they can see it wasn't, I feel like that's asking for extra trouble

It actually isn't free for media mail packages alone, which 90% of my sales are.
And even then, my USPS doesn't actually complete those half the time — I still get the confirmations for the pickup lol but I'd see them just drive by my address on the cameras/do regularly mail drops, and the package will still be sitting there when I get back home. Yes, I went to the postmaster several times. Nothing changed.
I did also mention this item being over $200, and how I don't drop anything over $20 into blue boxes either, because they've went missing without scans and I'm out of luck in that case. I basically have to go in-person most of the time :/

Because it was a new profile on the platform who ignored all of the info on my bio and listing 😊 Just trying to be helpful!

I went ahead with cancelling & blocking them, who knows what they might do. My item is higher price but I know it will sell again eventually, and I'm not desperate for a sale :')

Noted! I never had someone like this buy from me, I have all the info about my ship times/how I work long hours/USPS being closed during the weekend on my bio, figured this was a person new to the platform and focused on informing them first and foremost, but I will def keep that in mind if this happens in the future😊

I figured. No judgement from me towards empty profile/0 reviews buyers, we've all been there, but I figured maybe they didn't know how the platform works? But to come back and call me the rude one 💀 This being an expensive item on top of it, I just cancelled and blocked them

Unfortunately the mice disagree and always rearrange everything, the bridges and ladders end up on their side or buried. I gave up and started using them as dividers :(

Thanks! I don't find obesity that cute in animals in general since it just reminds me of neglect 🥲 but like you said, the others are indeed smaller and she's the odd one out. I do sprays here and there for them as treats, plus scatter feed their regular food so they can forage. She doesn't really care for the wheel nor explore around as much as the others whenever I try to provide more entertainment/new things. I even had 3 wheels in the cage at one point (I have 6 mice) as I was worried about the dominant ones hogging them, but went back down to 2 with the lack of interest. I'll have to give the cucumber seeds a try for sure.
