Hi Starr! I hope you had a Merry Christmas! This is where I sell, and I’ve been loving the new rate announcements! Even the UPS SurePost that happened a while ago has really helped! I almost always charge shipping and want to give the best rate I can! Liked and shared, thanks for sharing!
How does one measure a polymailer? Let's say I have an item that weighs a pound-and-half, I put it in a 9x12 envelope and it puffs up to 2". When I set up my Mercari listing it wants to know the dimensions. Do I put 9x12x2? Or what if I smash it in there and it's only 9x9? I'm sure this is dumb question but one I second guess myself on. Love your content. Thanks!
I just made my first sale on Mercari and since Mercari isn't set up for thermal printing, I printed out the shipping label from my paper 8x11 printer. Id like to know can I tape over the bar code with clear packing tape? and what is the best way to tape shipping label on the package?
Tape the top and bottom onto the package but don't cover up the barcode with the tape. Also, you CAN print thermal labels on Mercari. Just choose the correct printer, set to 4X6 label and make sure you pick "fit to paper" under scale.
Hi, just new to Mercari. I made a mistake I put 3 lbs on Ups ground shipping but actual weight including box is 4.2 lb. Should I just cancel or go ahead and just shipped it?
How much is it to ship 4 lbs on mercari? I listed baseball cards 4 and 8 lbs it was the exact same price. I had to put the dimensions 12x12x12. Do u have to put the dimensions
It's a good idea to put dimensions. None of the items we sell are over 2lbs so I don't know off hand how much it is to ship those weights. Have you looked into Pirate Ship? You can buy labels there and upload tracking to Mercari. Build the price into the cost on Mercari and offer "free" shipping and get the labels cheap on Pirate Ship.
We build shipping into the cost and price items a little higher on Mercari so we can offer the buyers "free" shipping and buy the labels on Pirate Ship. It's very affordable and keeps buyers happy.
This is so much nicer! I especially hated having to charge that $7.40 for 9oz plush.
Agree!

I love when rates go DOWN instead of the other way.

Measure the length, width, and height!

Cancel and have the buyer repurchase after you correct the weight.

Still High. Higher than ebay.
