Mercari Headaches

I had someone ask about bundling a couple Nightwings today (on eBay). I wonder if it was the same person.

This has to be one of you guys messing with me.

Totally reasonable ask. I price things on Mercari higher than on eBay because of the coupons and credits they give out. So this guy saying he can find it on eBay cheaper is totally a normal request.

Then silence.

Then this

So he decided he wanted to get this book instead. But is only willing to pay $7 shipped.

I respond

$10 shipped.

You see I just went ahead and blocked him instead of dealing with him further.

I assume you use only Mercari shipping, as it’s guaranteed (you don’t pay for returns or losses/damage)?

If so, how would you even make $7 shipped work (as Mercari is $6.99)? Accept a best offer of a penny?

BTW, I change the weight to 12 oz, so shipping is $6.39
as I don’t get anything more of they pay $6.99 or $6.39
.might as well help the buyer save 60 cents.

Yeah. I use Mercari shipping only.

Guy really is an idiot. I explained all that to him and he still wanted the book for $10 shipped. Which after Mercari fees of 13% is $8.70 minus cost of $4.99 is $3.71. Minus Gemini is $2.71 minus bag and board is $2.48. Then shipping of $6.99 is -$4.51 And let’s ignore the fact the book sells for $14.99 plus shipping regularly.

Forgot sales tax of .24 cents making it -$4.75

Would be more cost effective to burn the book.

This has happened to me so many times. Someone puts an offer on a book and then blocks me. Makes no sense. I can’t send him a message and ask what’s up because I am blocked.

#90

Probably changed their mind after sending their offer. This is likely the only way to “void an offer”.

#91

Could reach out and say it. Like hey I made this offer but I changed my mind. It’s funny because the screenshot comes from me declining the offer. I can’t decline it.

#92

What? Communication? What’s that
.

#93

I had someone change their mind
they just asked for me to decline it. And so did. No issue.

Sold later for full asking. And then another after that.
