I am mostly on Ebay, but have sold on Mercari, and have a few listed. Still getting used to this platform. Starting my daughter on Mercari, we're going to watch this video tonight together. The shipping is my struggle.
Thank you so much for the information....I use to buy things on Mercari and I was thinking to sell some good stuffs that I have ....but I was afraid about the shipping and handling but not anymore thanks to you!
Josefina Guzman, besides watching her video and reading your comment is making me a step closer to selling. Need to see what scale she is using. I buy a lot from Mercari too, 😂.
How do I list something that I have more than one Quantity? Because I don’t want to keep posting it up when it sell, I re post it because I have more than one. On eBay you can add like 10 Quantity so you don’t have to keep reposting? I’m wondering if I could do that too on Mercari
Hey there, I just started trying new platforms .hitting the subscription button. Love your dope HQ quality Content.. I'm Sucked In, Time To Spend A Decent Bit In My Zone Viewing Some Great Content That I Find Inside Your video Library. Hope To Stay A Loyal Fan Till The End. Can't wait to see more great videos you drop!
I have been thinking about selling, just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. So if you choose to mail from USPS, can you mail it from your home, if the item fits in your mailbox, or do you have to drop it off at the post office?
Thank you! I have a couple things that I need to get rid of and I don't want to throw them away, and it's nice to know that someone else will want to buy them from me. Thank you for the information!
I love your video to understand how to list on Mercari but I don’t understand the boxes and mailers I can use for the different shipping companies. I’d love it if you did a Mercari how to package items
Hi there, brand new to Mercari about a month, so I know how to create the bundles, but when I do the bundle, I quick go and de-activate all the ones I listed, is that how you do it, what if someone buys it while you're doing the bundle, is there an easier way, because you can't delete them, otherwise you can't use the picture, thanks in advance, how do you do it?
I believe until they're sold or you take them down. I recommend removing and relisting items that sit for a long time because it's harder for people to find old items.
I have priority mail envelopes for when I sell on poshmark. If I chose to use the Mercari label and USPS carrier, can I also mail it out from my mailbox?
If you have a Mercari label that says USPS yes you can totally mail it from your mailbox. You can also go to USPS.com and schedule a pickup if it doesn't fit in your mailbox. Do keep in mind that if your label doesn't say Priority Mail then you can't use one of those Priority Mail envelopes. I think Mercari will give you a first class label for items under 1lb so just watch out for that and use your own packaging :)
You make me feel very tempted and comfortable to get out there with the force of sellers on Mercari. I’ve been watching a couple of your videos over and over. Would you recommend getting a label printer as well, besides the scale?
Hello thank you very much for your video, I have a question today I uploaded some products to the platform, I'm just starting my resale business and I had problems with the platform, as it does not let me choose the shipping method only gives me the option of UPS and the cost is higher compared to other parcels. And another detail at the time of uploading my product appeared as if I had offered to take over the cost of the package and had to remove all my products because in less than 10 minutes I received an offer from a customer.
If you have the buyer pay for shipping is it a flat fee for the buyer? Does the program automatically let them know how much they have to pay? Also, do you have to pretty much weigh the item in the box for exact weight?
Great video! One question, normally on Mercari I just select the weight and it shows options so usually I select up as it is 9.99 for 2-5 pounds. But I've one package which is around 4 pounds but maybe will fit in a slightly bigger box eg. a tote. So do UPS check the size as well? Because with the smaller boxes as well, if I add the dimension and same weight, it gives me a bigger $ amount, whereas the same box with just weight works for 9.99, so am a bit confused. please suggest? Thanks
why do you like Mercari seems like a real pain to list they keep saying my address is unverifiable, and I Saved a listing draft which disappeared into thin air, so frustrating
I don't get it - I'm sorry. I'm using desktop and can click list but I'm not signed in. I can't find anything that reads, "sign in". I somehow got to a profile page but it doesn't recognize the username that I somehow (quite accidentally) created. Is there any Mercari phone number I can call? I'm just going in circles and didn't see during your video how you linked your listing to your profile. Heck, I can't even create a profile.
There's a "log in" button on the top right of the website if you're not logged in. If you are logged in, you'll see the orange "sell" button on the top right. If you scroll down to the bottom of their website there's a "Support" section where you can contact them.
@@HustleSlow thanks...tried it...it shows i have drafts but when i click on the drafts it only gives me options to save delete et but no edit or complete lol so i gave up. Mecari seems to not like my phone lol im having other issues too lol Ive worked around it all and have a few itema listed... sse what happens. Way more listing issues than ebay but in other ways its quick n easy. :)
I recommend knowing the exact weight so that you can select the right shipping method. If you don't know the weight you don't know what shipping option to pick. Unless you're going to ship the item yourself and cover shipping yourself, but it's better to know so you don't lose money if you underestimate.
@@HustleSlow the lady from usps told me it was expired. somthing like that. i couldnt ship ot nomore. the label said ship date 6/29/20. i though i could ship it before that
It doesn't give the shipping options like you show in your video. It does not do a suggested weight or give the option of which carrier to buyer can choose from
It won't let me add a listing, it keeps telling me to download the app, can you please do an update, I am using windows 10, I also checked on my iMac, the same thing. Tfs - xoxo Emmie
Thanks for watching! Do you sell on Mercari? Leave a comment below :)
Hustle & Slow Hi, great video so helpful for me. How do you upload a tracking number when item is sold if you don’t use Mercari’s shipping label???
I am mostly on Ebay, but have sold on Mercari, and have a few listed. Still getting used to this platform. Starting my daughter on Mercari, we're going to watch this video tonight together. The shipping is my struggle.
@@unclebubba131 Shipping isn't too bad once you know what you're doing :)

Josefina Guzman, besides watching her video and reading your comment is making me a step closer to selling. Need to see what scale she is using. I buy a lot from Mercari too, 😂.
What about the dimensions? When u did the shipping for aero garden did u have to do the dimensions of the box?
What envelopes or bag's can I use for cd's or clothing? Thank you.

You can't on Mercari, unfortunately. You just have to keep relisting it once it sells.

Yes you can and they pick it up
From your porch
how are you choosing two shipping options? I can only choose one.
Thank you! I have a couple things that I need to get rid of and I don't want to throw them away, and it's nice to know that someone else will want to buy them from me. Thank you for the information!
You're very welcome! :)

I'll add that to my list :)

Hi do would you use a P.O. Box address instead of your home address, when it comes to shipping?
I think using your home address is fine, but if you're more comfortable with a PO box that works too :)
How long to listings stay up on Mercari? Is it similar to Poshmark? No relisting?
I believe until they're sold or you take them down. I recommend removing and relisting items that sit for a long time because it's harder for people to find old items.

It's definitely helpful, but any printer will work at first!

How do you get the money if you dont add a credit or debit card?
You connect your bank account for direct deposit.
If you have the buyer pay for shipping is it a flat fee for the buyer? Does the program automatically let them know how much they have to pay? Also, do you have to pretty much weigh the item in the box for exact weight?
If I cannot drop it off will fedex pick it up if the buyer pays for shipping?
I believe you can schedule a pick up with FedEx, but I think it might have a fee associated with it.

Yes there are higher rates for bigger boxes so I coupons the size is important if you can
why do you like Mercari seems like a real pain to list they keep saying my address is unverifiable, and I Saved a listing draft which disappeared into thin air, so frustrating
That does seem frustrating. Maybe contact Mercari and see if they can help. I haven't experienced those problems personally. Sorry!
is the shipping similar to eBay shipping?
It's easier!

Where do i find my drafts on the app? Lol they seem to not exist :)
When you click on the little camera icon to sell, it'll pop up with a bar at the top that says you have drafts. You just click on that :)
@@HustleSlow thanks...tried it...it shows i have drafts but when i click on the drafts it only gives me options to save delete et but no edit or complete lol so i gave up. Mecari seems to not like my phone lol im having other issues too lol
Ive worked around it all and have a few itema listed... sse what happens.
Way more listing issues than ebay but in other ways its quick n easy.
:)
@@hookmeupken2190 Oh no! I'm not sure how to fix that, sorry you're having trouble.
@@HustleSlow Thanks, no prob. I downloaded the app on two different phones..it seems to not like either of them lol. Maybe I need a new phone! ha ha
Do you have to know the exact weight of the item before listing or can you guess at it
I recommend knowing the exact weight so that you can select the right shipping method. If you don't know the weight you don't know what shipping option to pick. Unless you're going to ship the item yourself and cover shipping yourself, but it's better to know so you don't lose money if you underestimate.
if you are selling more expensive items do you have to do the trust and verification? Beacuse they are not letting me list my things
I would contact Mercari to see why.
i printed mercari label last night. and this morning i try to ship package but i couldnt. why? do i have to ship same day i print? but it says 3 dayss
why couldnt you?
@@HustleSlow the lady from usps told me it was expired. somthing like that. i couldnt ship ot nomore. the label said ship date 6/29/20. i though i could ship it before that
@@eeeveee9176 That's odd, I've never ever had that issue. I would try again.
It doesn't give the shipping options like you show in your video. It does not do a suggested weight or give the option of which carrier to buyer can choose from
I think Mercari recently updated after I made the video. I'll have to check it out and make a new video.
It's not working on laptop, windows 10
It won't let me add a listing, it keeps telling me to download the app, can you please do an update, I am using windows 10, I also checked on my iMac, the same thing. Tfs - xoxo Emmie
That’s odd I haven’t had that issue. I would contact mercari.
