I use a desktop mostly too. I have mine set so I stay logged in. I think I only have to log in once a month or so, or when I make a sale. I hate captcha. I'm as dumb as a computer in that I often can't tell what character it is supposed to be.

Sold 5 items on mercari this week, only 1 on ebay. The item I sold on eBay I didn't even list on mercari since it was vehicle related.
I must not be the only one seeing slow ebay sales given they just put out an in-app coupon for 15% off.

I didn't get the ebay coupon. I'm not making sales anywhere. I've only made one sale on Mercari all year.
I don't think it's a targeted offer because my seller account never gets those. It's app only though

Maybe it's pushed out to East coast first then West coast 3 hours later? I just know it came at a good time because I need to order pool filters lol.
No email yet, but there is a notification at the top of my ebay page.
ETA: just got the email.

Make that mercari 7, eBay 1. I just pulled all my eBay listings. May try the "sell similar" feature later and re-work the titles. Crazy because the same items would actually have been cheaper to buy from eBay with the coupon code and zero hits! And my ebay feedback is 100% as a seller so no red flags and low flat rate shipping where I end up eating the difference if the buyer is on the West Coast.
The weirdest thing just happened. When I sell something on ebay, I inactivate the listing on Mercari. Then after awhile, when I know it isn't going to be returned, I go back to Mercari and delete the inactive listing. i just tried to do that but now when I click on my inactive listings, it says they have been sold. When I click on view order, it says the order was cancelled. Weird, right? If I wanted to reactivate these listings I can't.
That is weird. I just tested mine and it seems normal. Very odd.
I must be on a mercari roll lately because I just sold another bag. Still no sales on ebay. My parents are visiting soon and my mom is bringing a ton of bags for me to sell. Maybe the new inventory will bring the ebay sales back.
Mercari is very frustrating. I had inactive listings I wanted to delete too because they sold on Ebay but there is nothing that allows me to either delete, reactivate or even edit. It just says something about a transaction being cancelled when I click on the inactive listing. But there was no transaction so they are just sitting there, bugging me. Then customer service said they were going to update my tracking information - and they never did. It is still showing their tracking number in pre-shipment instead of my shipping number which should be saying in transit. On top of that - it is saying contact my buyer to see if it is has been delivered and tell them to rate me - but there is no way to contact my buyer or anyone else. No button to message anyone on the buyer's page or my page or when I click on the sold item. I tried going through the Chat button that that only shows 2 columns - buying and selling and says you have no messages. Of course not, I don't have any way to message anyone. I find customer service is responsive and polite enough but I think they are just saying things they figure I want to hear because nothing they said is translating to anything I can see. Maybe it is because it is a desktop but I won't be able to use this platform if it only works halfway since I can't use the app. Something tells me I will never see the money from my sale. Good thing I only sold one thing and I only listed low value items to start out with. We will see.
If you can get to the sales page, you should see that message box in the lower right corner. You have to click on it to bring it up. This is a screenshot from a completed sale on my desktop. I don't have any in progress at the moment.

Ok that is funny because I get no hits on bonanza! But I did sell another bag on mercari this am. It was one I sent an offer and the person countered. I declined so they sent what I originally offered. Still crickets on ebay though.
