    Great tips! I have all 4 badges! I had never heard that listing more makes your listings higher on others’ lists... I did notice the more I listed, I sold, :) so makes sense. Questions: when I change a price of something... been changing some to free shipping and lowering the overall price... do the likers get
    that notification under their “my likes”, or does it actually promote it? Also, how long do you wait to promote something or give a private sale? Like, I have a pretty desired item, have 10 likes within a few hours, but I could lower the price a little. Should I do that the same day, while their interest is up? I’m not in a hurry to sell it, but my likes are not increasing for about 5 hours. maybe wait and I might sell it for the listed price?
    Thanks again!

    • @cooperthereseller
      @cooperthereseller  Před 4 lety +2

      If you are using the promote button it should be sending an notification to those who have like the item! I do think it also promotes the Listing up the regular search algorithim a bit since its no longer stale. As for how often you want to promote the item, it is totally up to your personal preference! I usually wait about 30 days before I start promoting and lowering the price, but that's just me!

      @julieboese2547 Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for much for the helpful tips, Cooper! My favorite tip was customer service. Good service and positive communication has been working for me. I have been selling on Mercari now for a few months and am doing great. I'm looking to move a lot of my ready to ship party items from my Etsy party shop (my shop has tanked over on Etsy and I am tired of fighting their ever changing algorithm of the Etsy platform!) moving everything over to Mercari to sell it off- but my party supplies have not been selling very well. Any tips on selling the same item with lots of various designs and/or colors (I have a few hundred popcorn boxes all in bright colors in stripes, dots and chevrons) that I need to move. Willing to clearance them low too. Maybe list them in sets of 5 as smaller quantities? List in mixed colors and designs (rather than a set of 10 boxes in one color, one design)? Any tips on how to reach that 'mom planning a party' market? Currently I market on Instagram and on my blog. Thanks again. Great helpful videos.

    • @cooperthereseller
      @cooperthereseller  Před 5 lety

      No problem! Customer service is key! I'm not very familiar with the party supply niche, but I like your different ideas. I would give each of them a try and maybe try to do some bigger lots? Also would post to facebook marketplace/offerup/craigslist to get some extra local eyeballs. People are always looking for good deals on there even if they have nothing they are particularly looking for! :)

    Hey. Great advice. When you suggest deleting and resisting items that have been listed for a while, do you recommend that for items that have linkers on them as well? Thank you.

    • @cooperthereseller
      @cooperthereseller  Před 5 lety +4

      That's a good question, if the item has a lot of likes I would send them private offers a few times to see if they bite. If they never bite then I would delete and relist the item to try and get some new likes who will bite or buy straight up

    • @kylierenee4662
      @kylierenee4662 Před 5 lety +3

      also if you feel uneasy about deleting a listing, what i do is if i want to relist an item, ill just deactivate a previous listing of the same item. it makes me feel more secure that i can just reactivate that previous listing at any time!

    • @cooperthereseller
      @cooperthereseller  Před 5 lety +1

      @@kylierenee4662 true that is a good point! Be careful though if you ever have to go on vacation, you have to deactivate all listings and then reactivate them all at the same time and might be a pain to go back and deactivate the duplicates.

      Good question! This is usually very rare when an item sells on both platforms at the same time, but if it does happen you have to end up cancelling on one platform. No way around it unfortunately, and definitely send a message to the user saying why. I would always be honest with them. Also I would alternate which platforms you cancel duplicate sales on because they can negatively affect your account if you have too many cancelled orders on one site :) Just be sure to delete items off other platforms as soon as possible when they sell on another!

For me now is tryin be more power seller , im at stalemate an need figure out finding hot items to sell . Happy selling ..

      Nice, I learned this tip from a woman who blogs about Mercari. It's much better in most cases. I did get 1 $5 Shipping on a Funko Pop, but it was 13 oz going to California, which made sense because I'm in New York. Most items should be $3.65 to $4.80 shipping. *Also tip for you guys, when you buy inventory, use sites like Ebates, Retail me not and or buy stuff in bulk if where you buy from has deals so you have more margin to play with when you post. If an item is $10 and free shipping is at $35. Wait till you have some products you want to buy that reach the free shipping minimum, use a cashback site for 1%-3% back AND use any codes they have or deals when buying. It's super dope.

    Tried selling on Mercari. Got my first sale. Mercari tells you that you have until a certain day to ship the item. I had until tomorrow, and they cancelled the order today when I was preparing to ship it because they said I did not ship on time. Their email said I had until Wednesday August 21st (tomorrow) to ship the item. What BS. Don't trust Mercari. What happens if it was already shipped and they cancelled.

      Hello! I don't believe there is a save draft option on desktop at this time, there is a way to deactivate all your listings at once if you are going on vacation, on the app go to your listings, hit "select", "select all" and then deactivate :) then do the same thing and reactivate when you are back :)

      If you do not meet both of these requirements, you will not receive a Form 1099-K from mercari. This is the main tax for used from mercari, if you sell less than those thresholds it is your responsibility to track and do taxes on!

      There could be a lot of different reasons for this, it could be your SEO, how clean and bright your pictures are, are the items you are selling highly in demand? Is there a ton of competition? Are they long tail? Don't get discouraged! Do some research and figure out why those other people are selling like crazy and try to implement some of their strategies! :)

One strategy I used was looking for sold listings on Mercari that sold recently that has at least 4-6 likes and checking what the title was. Takes and description seems to play a role in SEO (duh) But people don't see the impact unless you mess around on Mercari. Before I list I search for the same item I'm selling to see what comes up. I notice my items not getting views are not really getting likes are not demand or a bit pricey. As I'm refining them, more views and likes are coming. it's pretty cool, I like it so far.
