I know right. I’ve always had success on mercari…I preach it but people always push back saying it sucks lol. Idk…doesn’t for me. Glad you’re crushing on there too! 👊
the free shipping isn't a good idea, unless a person selects the filter "free shipping" Mercari doesn't show the items that offer free ship while searching for something. SO it makes it look like the item is more expensive.
Yeah but when buyers see the item details the free shipping label pops up and I myself always lean towards buying items with free shipping even if the final price is the same.
yep, agreed. Also I have never noticed a difference in sell through rate, AAAAND if they are on the west coast, I end up making next to nothing. Not worth the risk
This was the best introduction video to Mercari. Straight to the point! I feel so confident going in there now. Thank you so much for this video mane, new subscriber!
Before Covid I had great sales with the platform, but people list things way too low (ex. massive clothing lots for $4). After fees the platform isn't worth using because you are competing with that. In addition, items just don't get the views they used to. I've had better success with Etsy since I mostly deal in Mid-Century.
Mercari is dead to me. I used to sell a lot on Mercari and these days I get one or 2 sales a month. So I just let my items sit. MERC needs to do more with tools for sellers like other sites do. For ex. there are sites that will let you "bump" up your listings, or "update" that bumps it up. With Mercari I have delete listing and relist listing to get it to move up. They don't have a way to sell multiples. No way to "copy" or duplicate a listing. Other sites are moving way ahead of Mercari.
Great info. I sell better on mercari than I do on marketplace. The traffic is better it shows when your item has been viewed, which doesn't take long after you post. I'm making about $25 to $30 a month. Something is better than nothing.
I’ve been selling on Mercari 8 months now and I average $1500-$2000 a month. A lot of it has been trial and error, but my most effective strategy is to price high and then discount bit by bit. I haven’t offered free shipping yet, but I’m willing to test it for a few products. Hoping to get another 1k a month at least on Mercari and supplement with other platforms.
Love it sounds like you're on your way to scaling! What type of products are you selling? A bunch of different things or do you focus on one specific niche?
Pricing things high doesn’t work for me because Ive had my listings there forever because my items are to high. Once I lower and do offers then they will purchase.
So now have have switched it up again on free shipping, interesting. When I check solds in any category on the site the vast majority of the solds are not free shipping.
Something isn't right, I keep relisting and dropping the price, but nothing is selling. I dropped a price from $1k to $100 just see if it was because of the price and I guess not. App is too inconsistent
Thank you for help. I do well with customer service/communication. But I need to work on my pricing though. Question is Lego figures hot in Mercari market?
The 3 examples I gave in this vid are a good place to start. Then start testing a bunch of different things...and double down on what you start to see success with.
For me nothing is selling. Bras used to be a good sell. Housewares too, but not anymore. It's like Mercari is out of business or on a LONGGGG vacation IMO.
To really make your sales grow. Don't be a niche seller. Train yourself to search for a variety of items. Over time you will develope a since of what sells. When sourcing for items, search when the last time it sold and how much. Anything that hasn't sold within a month I usually leave. You don't want a large inventory of slow movers. Also when purchasing make sure you are at least getting over 100 rate of return from your sales. That will assure that you have a high profit margin.
Unfortunately, mercari doesn't allow sellers to price higher. If you do, you won't get views... Free shipping on mercari isn't good cause after mercari fees, sellers can lose profits...
Watch out! I've been selling there for more than 2 years. Mercari seems good but you get little control over selling your goods. Mercari will change your prices and accept orders on bundles offers that you did not accept in the first place. This then forces you to cancel orders and upsetting customers or accept the order with that price Mercari had changed it to. Try explaining that to a customer! The support has always been beyond awful. I don't think they really have support people. Any reply I've gotten acknowledges my problem then discusses something unrelated to solving the problem. Mostly the same scripted response. I could go on. Mercari has huge control issues while being very good at ignoring their sellers concerns.
Thanks! Mainly amazon and eBay and yeah you can dropship effectively here you just need to use reliable suppliers the right way and use images that don’t look too stock photo ish
I'm a seller on mercari and I have a quick question my friend how do you activate your coupons I get a lot of coupons but they expire because I don't know really how to activate them
Hey Bryan. I got my first 1 star rating on Mercari. The buyer says they found it cheaper on Amazon. I would like to try to get it removed. My only other concern is the sold listing only shows stock photos, and the buyer also states I copied the photos from Amazon. Most of my listings include other photos besides just stock photos, but I have some listings with only stock photos. Anyway, I do have other photos for this item. I use Mercari mainly on my laptop, and Mercari is glitchy. Sometimes, it changes my titles, changes my category and even deletes my description. I guess it also deletes photos. Do you think it is okay to write Mercari about removing the rating when the buyer says I copied Amazon’s photos and only stock images are showing on the sold listing? I thought I could ask Mercari to remove it since the buyer is directing buyers to shop on Amazon instead of Mercari, and I could also tell Mercari about the glitches and missing photos. I am the kind of person who prefers these ratings to be removed, but I don’t want to lose my account because the sold listing is only showing stock images. This is a private label type item with no brand name on the item, and I did create my own description. I appreciate any advice. Hope you are having a good week so far.
I would just block the buyer. Leave it and continue to sell. It’ll be buried in 4 more reviews when it moves down your reviews and people don’t typically click to page 2
You have any opinions on buyers with no followers/following and no reviews and have been on there since 2019 kinda worried they’re a scam and wonder if I should cancel the order on him
@@BryanGuerratv Thank you for the reply. Yes I realized that the shipping would be a problem for both Poshmark and Mercari. I already sell on Etsy and Amazon and have been looking to expand to other platforms with no luck so far.
@@0innovacreation0 You can certainly expand to other platforms...you just will need different products/approaches with the other platforms. The same products likely won't translate. Hope that helps!
You will be charged by Mercari, or you will have to buy a label outside mercari, either way, you will be paying for shipping if you offer free-shipping to a customer.
Because I dropship and I don’t want people to see my best products that sell over and over again …then they would get copied and my sales would go down
Mercari is a joke. Can’t believe any of this. Just verifying your account is a hassle and Mercari customer service is only some form letter responses. We do free shipping on Mercari....if a buyer claims they did not receive package, but you have a valid tracking number showing delivered, Mercari sides with buyer. Mercari only disputes buyer if you use Mercari shipping. Don’t waste your time on the clowns at Mercari folks

Fragrance sells well there, almost instantly, if you sell it below price.
Yup poshmark too
I have been surprised at how much success I’m having on Mercari vs EBay and Poshmark. Mainly for clothing and shoes.
I know right. I’ve always had success on mercari…I preach it but people always push back saying it sucks lol. Idk…doesn’t for me. Glad you’re crushing on there too! 👊

You are correct, these TH-camrs are comical at best.

@@BryanGuerratvCan someone resell on Mercari full-time to net at least $,80,000 annually?
Before Covid I had great sales with the platform, but people list things way too low (ex. massive clothing lots for $4). After fees the platform isn't worth using because you are competing with that. In addition, items just don't get the views they used to. I've had better success with Etsy since I mostly deal in Mid-Century.
Stick with the platforms that work for you 🙌👊
What's your Mercari profile link
Mercari doesn't "Promote" on google sites. I imagine they're going to follow EB and start offering "paid ads". Betcha.
Mercari is dead to me. I used to sell a lot on Mercari and these days I get one or 2 sales a month. So I just let my items sit. MERC needs to do more with tools for sellers like other sites do.

They don't have a way to sell multiples. No way to "copy" or duplicate a listing.
Other sites are moving way ahead of Mercari.
I agree it’s being surpassed. I’m still selling decently here, but I don’t see it ever becoming anything to match Amazon, eBay, etc… even poshmark
Great info. I sell better on mercari than I do on marketplace. The traffic is better it shows when your item has been viewed, which doesn't take long after you post. I'm making about $25 to $30 a month. Something is better than nothing.

FAN OF YOUR WORK 💯
Appreciate it!
Pricing things high doesn’t work for me because Ive had my listings there forever because my items are to high. Once I lower and do offers then they will purchase.
List high, accumulate interest and likes, and make offers to simulate urgency, deals, and get sales 👍
Thanks for the tips bro! Hope you and I continue to succeed on Mercari 🎉
Thanks, appreciate it!
Thanks for the insight as I was coming to the realization that mecari is a broke buyers app! I will try these tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
No it's definitely not. I've had some higher price sales on there.
So now have have switched it up again on free shipping, interesting. When I check solds in any category on the site the vast majority of the solds are not free shipping.
Yeah constantly test and see what’s working better for you 👍
Something isn't right, I keep relisting and dropping the price, but nothing is selling. I dropped a price from $1k to $100 just see if it was because of the price and I guess not. App is too inconsistent
Try to list more products and try different products. Might just be the products you have up.
I've listed 3 toy items lately and have sold them all within a week
Love it congrats!
Thanks for the tips and great video! Do you think sellers giving you 5 stars for buying is also a good look, or do you think that hardly matters?
Yeah it helps 👍
There's always a cookie window begging for my personal information so they can sell it😅
Always lol
Free shipping?
I would need to pay $13 out of my pocket to ship a 2 lbs jean.
How do you handle your shipping labels?
Depends what my supplier is (I use the mercari shipping or my own depending) since I dropship
When is the best time to promote to likers?
When you have a few at least
Thank you.
Glad to help!

Home decor category worked for me

You can turn smart pricing off
you can turn that off you know...
uh you just don’t know how to use the app lol you’re screwing yourself over
Yeah I don't use the smart pricing 😂
lol TURN OFF smart pricing.
Thanks Bryan, what of eBay what’s your take?
Thanks! eBay is good for beginners yeah 👍
Great content as usual! What kind suppliers (Retail, Wholesale) are you using for Mecari? Are you able to dropship without a problem? Thx!
Thanks! Mainly amazon and eBay and yeah you can dropship effectively here you just need to use reliable suppliers the right way and use images that don’t look too stock photo ish
@@BryanGuerratv what about tracking? Are you using tracktack to generate one from your city?
@@tonyrando7608 For amazon I order to myself first and use a mercari label. For ebay I use the ebay tracking number unless I need a track taco one.

List them everywhere with list perfectly
I'm a seller on mercari and I have a quick question my friend how do you activate your coupons I get a lot of coupons but they expire because I don't know really how to activate them
