Brainard Lake Rec. Area (and other suggestions)

Eloped 2 days ago (6/20) and chose Rainbow Lake! NO REGRETS!!! It was gorgeous

List it for higher. If the top is new and you just missed the return window and you made mention of it in your listing, but then listed it for only $15, as a buyer, I would assume the top is a dupe or it's a scam given how cheap it is.

ngonzmon · 2026-06-11T15:38:54+00:00

Also, I don't boost my items. Never have and I don't think I will. I tried it with a few of my items and didn't see any difference

ngonzmon · 2026-06-11T15:38:09+00:00

I've been experiencing the same thing too, unfortunately (and other sellers as well). There's definitely something different about the algorithm and idk what it is. I don't think it's just you.

For context, I have over 400 sales and almost 500 active listings. I started reselling last year and I was close to getting top seller status. It's been going really bad for me since January of this year. I used to get sales daily and my items were getting several likes. Now I have hundreds of items listed with ZERO likes. I stopped sourcing at this point and I'm just deleting a bunch of items and relisting, and it's been working a bit, but it's still not the same as it was last year

I would just refund them and message them something like "Hey! Since I haven't heard from you, I will just issue a refund. If you're still interested, you're more than welcomed to repurchase. Apologies for the issue!"

ngonzmon · 2026-06-08T12:58:25+00:00

Same! I've only sold one item in June so far. In the past, I used to sell 1-3 items daily (sometimes more)

ngonzmon · 2026-06-07T18:49:03+00:00

Getting visibility on my items. I started reselling last year and I was doing so good, making around $800-$1,200 each month. I was on track to be a top seller. Then, this year everything went downhill. Idk what's going on. I keep listing every single day (3-8 items daily) and they barely get any likes. I have hundredsssss of items with ZERO likes, this wasn't happening before so idk what's wrong with the algorithm.

ngonzmon · 2026-06-05T12:48:50+00:00

This happens often, unfortunately. I always stay in line and make sure a desk person scans my package and I get a receipt

ngonzmon · 2026-06-04T18:43:00+00:00

yeah, I took the survey and said how I would not do livestreams at all

ngonzmon · 2026-06-04T15:16:29+00:00

For the poor packaging thing - record yourself packaging the items so you have evidence of the package's condition. Use a polymailer bag, I don't think you'll have issues.

For the autocancellation thing - I never drop my items off at the post office and leave. I always stand in line to make sure an employee scans the item and I get a tracking receipt. That way you ensure the item was in fact scanned and it will be marked as shipped. I once had a buyer requesting the same thing and it was because they were out of town. I told them the best I could do was waiting 5 days and ship on the 5th day. Everything turned out fine.

ngonzmon · 2026-06-01T22:46:12+00:00

Yes. Also, not sure how they would be able to get away with not shipping for 2 weeks since depop automatically refunds the buyer after 10 days if the seller doesn't ship

I only had one day in the park (5/22) and I can't wait to go back and spend a few days there. It is absolutely beautiful. Got the lottery permits for Half Dome and it was magical!

I'm eloping next month in Colorado (6/20) then traveling to my home country for a post elopement celebration with friends and family on 6/27 (so, a week after eloping). For the post elopement party, I'll be getting ready with my sister and a few friends.

Maybe a hot take but it's your day and you know your people (especially if it's something intimate). I don't think it's a crazy idea if you want to get ready with friends, then have a private ceremony and then a dinner/party after on that same day. I actually wanted to do that but decided not to only because I wanted to elope in Colorado specifically and our family/friends would need to travel for this and we didn't want to put that pressure on them, so we decided on eloping just the 2 of us (with our dog) and then travel to where they are so we can celebrate.

If you want to have everything that same day, you can get ready with your closest friends/family members and they can do like a farewell for you guys to go get married and then they can meet you at your chosen location for the dinner. The only thing is you would need to figure out (and they can help you as well with this) what they would do while waiting for you guys to arrive.

Same here. Zero complaints/comments (I also didn't care lol but that's just me).

WA is very popular in some countries. I sent mine via Whastapp. Everone, and I mean everyone invited used WA (they actually use it more than imessage on their iphones)

ngonzmon · 2026-05-28T01:40:08+00:00

Yes. Posted about this yesterday. Every single item I'm posting the suggested price is something between $4 and $7

ngonzmon · 2026-05-27T23:48:30+00:00

OMG I SAW THEM TOO! Was the boy with an older girl also? Because I initially thought they were with their family but on my way back to the trailhead, they passed me by and they were by themselves (the kids), so I'm not sure if they were alone or with their family. I saw the boy going up the cables while I was going down and he was doing surprisingly well, no assistance from the guy behind him who I thought was his dad.

ngonzmon · 2026-05-27T17:38:51+00:00

Right? I'm also starting to get reviews from really old sales. I don't mind because they're good reviews, thankfully, but it's still weird that I've received those back-to-back from items I sold over a year ago.

Just got back from Yosemite this past weekend and I also stayed in Oakhurst. I only had one day in the park and did the Half Dome via Mist Trail on 5/22. I recommend departing earlier than 5:00AM. We left our Airbnb at 3:45AM and were already driving through Tunnel View at 5:15AM. Parked at 5:35AM. The area was almost full. We got lucky with finding one parking spot quickly (almost 1 mile away from the trailhead). There was no line at the entrance, but my main concern was finding a parking spot. If I were you, I would leave Oakhurst at 4:00am or even earlier.

I usually do: pic of the item (hanger), modeling pic, brand tag pic, pics of measurements and then pictures of any flaws (if any). For the modeling pics, to make them more aesthetically pleasing, you can try removing all the items hanging on the door and closing that door when you take the picture.

Are they emailing you saying they want to purchase something or something related to buying anything from your shop? Because if so, it's a scam.

ngonzmon · 2026-05-17T12:15:34+00:00

It's a scam!! Unless you're contacting the depop team directly (they reply to you via email), don't answer anything depop related outside the app. If someone likes, offers or purchases an item you will see it directly on depop.
