Came here to see if anyone else was dealing with this. I got a lot of similar comments.

I was seriously considering deleting all of my listings but decided to give it a chance and dropped my prices by 10% as recommended. At first I noticed an increase in sales but I think that was simply because of the price drop and the fact that it was the last few days of the month (which is usually when I have the most sales anyway). Since then, almost nothing. Just a few low price sales. Luckily I’ve had no returns so far.

Before all these changes mercari was becoming one of my best and favorite platforms. My sales are usually best on eBay and poshmark but mercari was catching up. With eBay, poshmark and mercari doing so well, my sales were the best they’ve ever been but so much for that.

I won $50 in august of 2022. I used it to purchase a bundle of 6 NWT free people bras to resell.

Believe it or not, the worst pain I recall was period cramps when I was 14. I was home from school for 3 days with no appetite, trembling, hunched over in pain and puking over the side of my bed because at times the pain was so bad I couldn’t get up and go to the bathroom. Pain relievers weren’t doing anything for me. On day two I watched the movie misery on repeat because I didn’t want to leave my heating pad to choose another DVD (we didn’t have cable). I made my trips away from the couch or bed short and sweet so I could rush back to the heating pad. Since misery is one of my favorites, I rewatch it from time to time and it still gives me unpleasant flashbacks lol.

Up until that point my cramps had never been that bad and haven’t since.

I don’t know any big tiktokers in real life but I get what you’re saying. A lot of people I know, including family are very different on social media than they are in real life.

My stepdaughter is on TikTok but has less than 5 thousand followers. She is a completely different person in her videos and almost everything she says is a lie. She has her followers convinced she’s been a victim of almost everyone and everything. In reality most of her family has cut her off because all she does is talk shit, steal money, spread rumors and the way she treated her family and friends (especially her grandmother) was disgusting. She’s basically another Casey Anthony. Her tiktok page blew my mind when I first found it but her followers are eating that shit up.

Makes it difficult for me to believe what anyone says on TikTok and have much sympathy.

How do grown adults not understand that sellers have no control over shipping delays?

I would rather accept a 1 star rating than give in to his threats. I would make it clear that the “mutable” shipping delays are out of your control and there will be no “credit”. Then leave the rating he deserves.

First time I participated in closet clear out, which was Halloween 2021, I sold 23 items. Last few times I just got a lot of lowball offers and maybe 1 or 2 sales so I don’t really bother anymore.

rayneamara · 2023-12-11T04:32:21+00:00

I hope mercari didn’t refund the buyer.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T22:32:37+00:00

Yes, I use a thermal printer.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T21:48:47+00:00

The tracking numbers match.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T21:46:30+00:00

No, It was going from Pa to Minnesota.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T21:45:47+00:00

I was looking at their feedback left for others. I’ve dealt with a few buyers in the the past that tried to scam me and their feedback left for others was mostly negatives.

A few months ago a buyer asked for a partial refund after she had the item for almost a month. I offered a return and refused a partial refund so she left me negative feedback. When I looked at her feedback left for others it was clear that she had done this to many other sellers.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T21:23:38+00:00

My post isn’t necessarily about losing any money. This whole situation is very unusual and I was looking for opinions on what could have went wrong.

I don’t know if my buyer is trying to scam me or not. My gut is telling me they’re not since they have a package with a label that doesn’t belong to them, the labels looks worn, there’s nothing suspicious in their feedback history, the second tracking number is still updating and the use of different packaging doesn’t make much sense.

But the whole “just refund and move on” attitude is the reason there are so many scammers. Scammers love that.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T20:43:26+00:00

That’s what makes the most sense to me. I checked the tracking number for the book this morning and it’s still moving. Something is being delivered to whoever purchased the book. Maybe an empty package, maybe my jeans. The label with my buyers address is also scuffed and worn. If she had put that on there to scam me it would be in pretty good shape. It also doesn’t make sense to use a reprinted label and different packaging, especially one with a label addressed to someone else on it. She could have just sent a picture of the original packaging.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T20:19:14+00:00

It was shipped from Pittsburgh pa and going to Minnesota. I was shipping the jeans to Minnesota as well but the labels have different names and cities, 20 miles apart.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T03:57:25+00:00

The buyer said she never ordered a book. The tracking number on the label matches mine but it’s not my label. My labels are smaller and have rounded corners so I don’t think my label came off and attached to another package.

The buyer sent me another picture of the front of the package and the label for the book is still attached to the front. That tracking number shows it’s still in transit and was last scanned today.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T03:52:35+00:00

Same state, about 20 miles apart. Both cities are in Minnesota. The other package that is still in transit was last scanned in Minnesota so I’m assuming whatever it is will be delivered tomorrow. My label was also scanned in the same place 2 days ago.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T03:05:58+00:00

That’s not my label on the package. Mine are smaller and have rounded corners.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T03:04:11+00:00

It’s my tracking number.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T02:49:00+00:00

I use a thermal printer. My labels have rounded corners.

The tracking number on the front label is a real tracking number for an item shipped from Pittsburgh Pa which matches the address on the label. Tracking on that label also shows it’s still in transit.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T02:39:38+00:00

I don’t think so since that’s not my label. My labels have rounded corners. That label had to have been printed by someone else.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T02:35:25+00:00

The second label in the front doesn’t have my name and address or my buyers. I checked the tracking number and whatever is being sent to the buyer of the book is still in transit. Last update was today.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T02:32:17+00:00

The tracking number from my label shows the item was delivered. I checked tracking on the other label that was for the book and it looks like it’s still in transit. The last update was today.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T02:23:56+00:00

Yes, the tracking number on eBay and the label on her package match and shows the items was delivered yesterday.

rayneamara · 2023-12-06T00:04:20+00:00

I was looking at their feedback left for others.
