Well I don't have anything in my email because I never bought or sold on the site. Did you try contacting them to tell them? I wish they'd just eliminate that stupid thing. It really serves no purpose.

Well I don't like staying logged in to any site since they can then trace every internet move you make and if they're hacked - they get all that data and know exactly who you are. Ebay has given me trouble too - oops that's not right when I know the password is right and now they keep giving me that box to confirm my Id - they sent an email saying I haven't confirmed in over a year - idiots. Because there is no reason to keep confirming if I'm using the account. Meanwhile I reported a buyer who pays using one name but the ebay account is under a different name and they do nothing about that or about the dozens of asian profiles all selling the same stuff and drop shipping from the same company. I don't have time to play these games so I stop listing and buying for a time and eventually the box goes away. You can't simply confirm either because the confirm by email doesn't work and I give a fake phone number because their terms of use says they give it out to everyone who uses ebay and I don't want thousands of robocallers.
Done with Mercari. I just finally got around to list about 10 items maybe a month ago - and already they sent sent me a message calling the items "inactive" and deactivating them! Seriously? They claim once you spend the time listing them - they stay listed until they sell or I decide to take them down. People even had liked some of the items. I can't you can not trust this website and I am glad nothing "flew off the shelf" because I probably would have also had trouble getting paid since they clearly lie about their listings policy. Just warning people not to spend a lot of time listing things there. At least the other websites are more transparent about their listings policies. These people seem to do whatever they want whenever they want and their email is a "noreply" address too.

Are you not able to go into the listing and reactivate? I've not had this problem, but I promote my listings frequently.
I responded to this post on another thread. My experience with Mercari has been positive. The only issue I've encountered is that their system doesn't always detect tracking when the item has been shipped, but it always updates once the item has been delivered. Then they contact the buyer to rate you. If the buyer doesn't rate you in a few days, Mercari releases the money automatically. The time between when the package is delivered to the money hitting my bank account is usually less than 5 days, sometimes only 2 days. It is cheaper than ebay because there are unlimited free listings and no paypal fee.
I also wish there was a way to organize listings. Maybe there is and I haven't found it.
Yes we're conversing there - LOL - thanks, I wasn't sure where to post my rant so I posted it in both Mercari forums I found. Thanks.
Well, the email said that I could but I haven't bothered to see what that entailed. I don't really want to play this game with them. Its supposed to be that the listings stay until I take them down or they sell. If they want to play games - they can play by themselves. I'm disappointed though because with Ebay moving to self payment processing, I know I'll have to stop selling there and I thought Mercari would be a good alternative to it. I guess I thought wrong. Maybe I'll look into community selling pages on Facebook next.
Awhile ago, I got a message from Mercari that there is a way to send offers with a discounted price to 10 people who have favorited your item. I did it once. Now I want to do it again, but I can't remember how to do it. Does anyone know how?
The promote button and then choose select vs all and it will send to your likers.
Thanks! I forgot you can't see that button on a desktop. I have to open the app!
Oh wow! I haven't used Tradesy before. I did make my first sale on Poshmark a while back, which seemed pretty easy. Was just a pair of jeans I bought DH that were way too big. Not sure I'd buy from there though considering their apathy towards fakes.
