Patience is a long gone human trait in this recent Era. The babies want their bottle now.

Ive only had one complaint so far, I preemptively gave the buyer a heads up there was delay because USPS didnât make my normal pickup due to snow. They then demanded that I give them overnight shipping which I refused, I had packaged it immediately even though I had 5 day handling time listed so the buy was still getting it in the right time frame but they pitched a fit.
âdemanded overnight shippingâ âŠ??? LMAO
That buyer would get a refund and instablock soooo fast from me.

My only complaint was some buyer kept demanding I leave him positive feedback. They sent like 3 messages but since I stopped selling after my last big push in late December, I turned off notifications on my phone app after I saw most orders display as delivered and waited a week to make the app stop bugging me. My eBay emails get filtered into their own folder.
eBayâs feedback system failed me as I went through and left most feedback but apparently this one never showed up (along with a bunch of others).
Kind of silly though, I can only leave positive so not sure why this guys panties were all knotted up about it⊠oh wellâŠ
Those are the types of customers that get their food with some extra human saliva added to it⊠

I have been selling a lot of books on Mecari lately and very happy, not sure if I am making as many sales as on eBay but they come in fairly regular, especially when I get the books I order in on time.

If you donât mind me asking, How much % does Mercari take?
Ten % plus a processing fee. Basically the same or around the same as eBay/PayPal fees ended up being.
Is the biggest difference for a seller on mercari that you donât get paid until itâs delivered? Or do you need the buyer to confirm theyâve received it to get paid?
Buyer needs to confirm it within 3 days of delivery or they leave feedback on your behalf and release the money.
SoâŠworse than eBay managed paymentsâŠtimeline wise.
Absolutely!
Not really that bad. They receive it and have three days to rate you. After 72 hours you are automatically rated 5 stars and the money goes into your account. If there is no rating after 24 hours there are no returns.
From there you can withdraw the money. My understanding is eBay still holds the money anyway
Only problem I had with Mercari is a buyer was having all his mail held at the post office. I messaged them that he has his mail on hold and that my payment should not be held up. They agreed and on the 72 hour mark the money hit my account.
I also have not withdrawn any money from my account. Itâs all sitting there. I will pull it out at the end of this month as I am using last months sales to fund this months purchases. My Mercari going forward will be doing the same thing.
Guess it depends on how you ship but Iâm averaging about 2 days from sale til it hits my account. So Mercari is a bit slower.
If you are immediately taking your money out from ebay and spending it before the buyerâs period to file a claim has expired, youâre always playing with fire anyway. It doesnât matter when eBay âletâsâ you have the money if they can contractually claw it back after that. Itâs just allocation of risk at that point.
Quick question, how does Mercari work and what do you need to set up an account? Personal info?
Thank you
