I ship on Mercari all the time and you can select an option to have a prepaid label created and you enter the weight and dimensions of box/envelope and it sets the rate. You can have that whether or not you or the buyer covers shipping. After someone makes a purchase you just get an email with a link to access the label. It's super easy and just like Poshmark :)
@MogiBeth4 жыл бұрын
Interesting! So do you weigh the items while listing? That's a step I don't want to add to the process yet since I still do the vast majority of my sales on Poshmark, but that could potentially change moving forward
@adrianatoledo92684 жыл бұрын
Mogi Beth Mercari does a pretty good job at guessing the best shipping method per item so it will prefill a shipping option based on the type of item you list. I’ve been selling on Mercari for a while so I have a pretty good idea of what the shipping weight should be (I always estimate a little higher). Its great for light weight items under 1 lb. You can also edit the shipping settings after a sale! So I will weigh the item when I’m packing to double check and if you need to change the item weight, it will generate a new label for you.

I have been doing the same, but I think since watching this video and seeing the part regarding Pirate Ship prices, that Pirate Ship may cost a bit less. I'm going to play around with it a bit this weekend and confirm that though.
@katarzynakubicz64264 жыл бұрын
Mogi Beth like others have said I just estimate the weight based on the previous purchases. Your method will be cheaper to ship shoes and heavier items since the prepaid label charges $9.90 I believe but the rest is the same. I just checked and it’s $3.5 for under 0.5 oz, $4.60 under 1lbs and $4.99 for exactly 1lbs and anything over 1lbs is $9.90. So the prepaid labels are a good way to go for the lighter stuff like tops and accessories :)
@beautifullifesageg.39514 жыл бұрын
Pirate Ship is significantly less money than Mercari for most items. I have come across a few situations when I had to pay more than $4.99 on Pirate Ship. But since the vast majority of the time it costs less, I don't mind when this happens. :)

Hi Mogi, congrats on being able to do what you love for a living! It's not easy but it can be satisfying! I started selling on Poshmark in 2018 and just recently (ok, once COVID came in to the picture) decided to be more focused with my online sales and one of those ways was to start listing on other platforms like Mercari! I already have a full time job, so this is a challenge to myself! The amount of time I am putting into it amounts to a part time job and I can't wait to see what results I get from the focused attention to sales! I will definitely start listing on Mercari now that you have uncovered the not so mysterious way to ship from this and the other platforms. I don't watch You Tube a lot but have found myself looking forward to your new videos and even get an alert now when you have a new one up. Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge! It is appreciated. Wishing you many sales this August!

I use ammonia with my laundry detergent and it helps with stains for sure, brightens all materials and works on getting rid of most odors. Clothes smell fresh. When using ammonia add approx 1/8 c to detergent and reduce detergent by 1/8 c per load. Ammonia is a detergent so if you use too much you'll have too many suds. Ammonia is great for spot cleaning too. If it is stubborn smell may take several washes. Hope that helps. Lois @alltimefaves Poshmark

Hi Mogi! I saw that for the wildfox sweater sale on ebay you listed it as shipping with priority and then you changed it to first class while you were shipping. Most buyers won't even notice this, but some buyers purchase the item expecting to have it shipped expedited with priority. If the package arrives later than the expected arrival date you may be at risk or a negative feedback. I've made the same mistake in the past and I always make sure that when I'm listing on ebay I always click ship with first class mail when I know it's under a pound.

As usual, great video! I've been on Mercari for a week and have had 10 sales! I'm grateful I started cross-listing from Poshmark, but my only issue is the label printing. I use a Rollo label printer and Mercari doesn't support the printer. I really don't want to have to literally cut and tape labels on packages due to the extra steps and paper waste. I'm trying a hack I found online to print the labels via Adobe Acrobat, but it's not foolproof and usually send two labels through the printer...one printed and one blank. Now I have about 15 unused single labels. ARGH!!!! How do you deal with this @mogibeth or @essentialendeavors ? Thanks in advance!!! ~Jen
@EssentialEndeavours4 жыл бұрын
Hey Jen! So if I want to go through using my Dymo for Mercari, I will download the label, rotate, use the snipping tool, and then paste into my Dymo software with the 4x6 label in the vertical position. It isn't super crisp for me, but it works and gets the job done :) but if I am in a hurry, I use my printer. I pre-load my printer with 8.5"x11" paper cut in half, its a wireless printer so as I am packaging I tell it to print and by the time I'm done I bring it over and trim the edges, tape, and done. It really takes the same amount of time as fiddling with it on my Dymo software, but either way - you can do it :) Maybe I will do a video on how to do it soon. Hope this helps in the meantime! Have a lovely weekend :)

Hey Krista! Just thought I would chime in. I personally use Mercari prepaid labels (whether I am offering free shipping or not) due to their awesome policies if something gets lost or damaged which has actually been kinda frequent with everyone all over the country ordering online. They insure each prepaid label up to $200!!! So if you sold something, it got lost - file a claim with mercari (even though their system tracks if an item doesn't update and doesn't get delivered) and they will refund you and your buyer! :) I recently purchased a Dymo 4XL a month ago, it's pretty handy, but a printer still gets the job done well. You can still use pirate ship whether you have a label printer or not. Mercari is kind of a pain as you can't instantly print a 4x6 label as you can with Posh and Ebay - I personally have to go in and finesse it a bit for the proper orientation to print right. Sometimes I don't have the time so I will just send it over to the printer, cut and tape it on! For reference, I got my DYMO 4XL for about $200 and 10 rolls of amazon labels for an extra $50. It is super convenient but not necessary. Hope this helps :) Take care and hope you have a great weekend!

I am sure they will fit jeans too just haven't tried. The USPS padded flat rates are 9.5"x12.5" so if you used those they're fairly similar, just without the bubbles. Hope this helps! Take care :)

GREAT question! And I actually don't have the answer because I haven't had a Mercari return yet. The website isn't clear on this issue, it says: "For orders using a Mercari prepaid label, the cost of return is covered. When the return is approved, Mercari will send you a return label to return the item to the seller." Not sure what happens when you don't use a prepaid label. If anyone else has experience with this, let me know here!!
@EssentialEndeavours4 жыл бұрын
@@MogiBeth Not sure regarding a return - I've never had a return in the 3-4 years I have been on the platform because they don't really do them, you can't return for fit or if you don't like it...if something happens, they usually just refund both the seller and buyer (item damaged or lost, stuff out of your control). However, if you use a Mercari prepaid label and your item gets lost in the mail or does not arrive on time, both you and the buyer (or you and the seller) get refunded your money as its out of your control and Mercari insures up to $200 for each prepaid label. So...if the item is over that, I think they will just go up to $200..not positive on that though. I am sure you could file the a claim using pirate ship since most labels have $50 of insurance I believe? Not sure - but if you didn't, you would be SOL if the item gets lost and that money is gone. Because of that, I always always always use Mercari labels (whether I am offering free shipping or not). I've been on that platform for awhile and just recently had 4 instances (from sourcing on the platform) of things getting lost (due to the craziness of the world) and both the seller and I got refunded and they cancelled the orders. Their customer service is just lovely. However, you cannot contact the shipping provider...Mercari must do so as they are the "middle man." Hope this helps in some way :)

Hi Lois! Thought I could throw in some advice for ya! Ebay uses Paypal - so to purchase your shipping labels yes you would need a PayPal account. You would need to go into your setting on PayPal and setup where you want you reoccuring payments from Ebay Shipping Inc to come from (for example a check acct or credit card). Then you just hit pay and it automatically does it for you!!! Also, a tip with the shoe boxes - try stuffing with packing paper so they don't get crushed easily! :) But either way, USPS supplies are free to use so whatever works works, right? Hope this helps :) take care!

@@EssentialEndeavours Thanks so much! I have a PayPal account but haven't used in years. Been very hesitant to move to other platforms outside of Poshmark due to all the fees and rules. Also, heard Posh is the place for fashion which is what I sell, and ebay + Mercari items sell for less - Tradesy is hit or miss. Interested in your thoughts?

Hello! Just made a sale, (baby clothing) 3lbs. (Priority mail label) do you know if I can ship in a normal polymailer? Or does it have to be a priority mail box/envelope?

"Posh Mark" shipping prices repel me from purchasing. Plus a lot of items are just priced way too high for what I'm willing to spend.

I so want to cross list to Tradesy but the listing and shipping still freaks me out. Poshmark makes it so easy so listing and shipping on Tradesy is way different and a tad confusing. I can’t find a video on KZbin that’s showing these items so if you or anyone here knows of one, please comment!

eBay is NOT 10%. More often 18% if you don’t do promoted listings....because of Paypal fees....and now your adding the cost of free shipping. So you’re probably over 20% when you sell off of Poshmark...:and have the added hassle of finding the best box and or BUYING shipping supplies. eBay also leaves you high and dry to handle everything on your own if there’s issues. Still valuable but people think eBay and Mercari 10% is attractive and it’s NOT and is so misleading and false.
