So I'm gonna show you the desktop version Now you can see here all of the same options are on the app. So the app is fantastic but again, I feel like everybody shows the app and Doing it on your desktop is super easy also And I know some people just prefer like sitting down at a computer and typing it out So you see the apps the same and I'm gonna show you the desktop So let's go ahead and pull up a screen share here And I'm gonna walk you through some of the different features I'm gonna show you how to once you have it listed how to promote it or Send offers so we're gonna talk about a lot of awesome features here Before we start I'm gonna take you here to my profile and I have sold I think nine well I have nine hundred and forty-two reviews that is selling and buying and again you guys I've been on Mercari since 2018 so it took me a while to get that many Items that I've actually sold so let's go to Right up here. So once you're in your profile, you're gonna see right here. It says list an item And I have my screen big here So I'm gonna take you right here and we are going to upload photos So it has pulled up my desktop and I already have my photos here So you guys what you're gonna want to do is you're gonna want to take clear Good photos of your items with lots of detail and I'm gonna show you whoops Exactly what I am talking about here So you can have 12 photos. So that is what I'm gonna include and I'm gonna do that and they are gonna upload to this page There they come Okay, so you can see I've got pictures of the back which tells which type of batteries these take and This also tells the brand and all of that good stuff. This is a toy that lights up So I showed it actually functioning so that people know that it works Okay, so I'm gonna put the title in it is shimmer and shine wish granting bracelets Toy lights and sounds and I'm gonna put dress up This it's kind of like for dress up now The first thing I always do is I copy this and I put it into my description and then I put see photos for measurements and condition now This is where you're gonna put any additional information if you're selling clothing I would put like armpit to armpit and I would put the actual measurement That's just what I do for clothing. I don't sell a whole lot of clothing anymore. I'm more like Hard goods and stuff like that. I just I'm kind of over clothing. I do from time to time Uh, let's hashtag it so I'm gonna put bracelets I'm gonna put toy and I'm gonna put dress up and you can use like shimmer and shine Really, you can pick whatever you want for your tags Alright, so the category I am gonna go to toys and the subcategory I'm gonna pick I think there's one that says dress up and pretend play and Then I'll dress up and pretend play Sometimes it will grab a category for you, but not all the time the brand is Mattel. So I'm gonna put that here It is in good used condition So you have poor fair good like new and new and it gives you a nice little definition So you guys can kind of read those and decide which one works best the color is optional This is multicolor. I do wish that they had that option of multicolor, but they do not so I'm just gonna leave it blank Your zip code should already be filled in So here's where it gets a little more I'm gonna give you a little more detail here So you have the option to do Mercari shipping Mercari local Mercari local and shipping and ship on your own Okay, so Mercari local is something that's new It says sell to buyers in your neighborhood the driver will pick it up and deliver the item perfect for bulky or fragile items buyer pays for delivery So you can see right here for Mercari local that starts at seven dollars and ninety nine cents and It's definitely an option. I have not tried this yet I typically pick ship on your own just because it's easier for me to I've been doing it long enough that I can kind of figure out my measurements and then that way if I'm off a little bit Then I can make the adjustments when I actually ship it So I just build the shipping costs into the price of my item now The bad thing about that is when you build the shipping costs into the price of your item You're paying more for fees because your fees are based on your selling price of the item So if you use Mercari shipping, so let's go here to Mercari shipping I Recommendation applied. I don't want to do the recommendation. So let me why is it not letting me there we go It wasn't popping up. Okay, so I'm gonna say the weight of this item is two pounds It may be like a pound and a half. I do believe that it's over a pound I think that I can get this in an eight by eight by six Now my recommendation to you is before you list the item Pre-package it and weigh it so that you know that your weight and dimensions are correct Okay, so then you're gonna select the carrier and for this I'm gonna choose USPS and I'm gonna click on that you can do FedEx smart post But then you're gonna have to take it into FedEx and then I am gonna hit save So it is gonna cost $12 for the buyer to have this item shipped directly to them Now shipping is a flat rate cost to all 50 states. So every buyer is paying the same shipping cost Now the other option is to do Mercari Shipping and local so you have the choice For the buyer has the choice for both. So if it's somebody local they can pick local The the benefits of using Mercari shipping I do want to go over this with you guys because there are some perks It's 30% off a retail rates. It is a flat fee to Everyone every state. I did mention that But you also get seller protection on all of your items up to $200 So all of the Mercari labels if you use them are covered up to $200 that is Fantastic because if you ship something first class typically, it's not gonna have insurance unless you add insurance So Mercari is covering you So that's great Definitely a perk of using their shipping now if you choose ship on your own then what you need to do is you need to Find a company to You could either go to the post office and they could do it for you, which is a little time consuming You can find a company to source that Shipping label from and then you just put the label on it from that company And then you add the tracking to Mercari if you choose Mercari shipping that label is going to show up in your email So if you're a new seller, I recommend doing Mercari shipping because everything is more cut and dry and it's just Simpler you're not having to go to an outside site to purchase your label, but What's great is they give you options. So that is how the shipping works Now then you set your price. So I'm gonna put $28 on this now I do have the option to do smart pricing so basically you set it and forget it and Mercari drops the price for you This is another thing that I typically do not utilize and maybe I should But if I were to put a floor price on this I would do $23 that means that Mercari is only gonna drop it until it hits $23 and then they are gonna stop but again, I don't use this feature So I am gonna turn that off and then you just hit list and your item is now listed Okay, so what does it look like? Here is what it looks like shimmer and shine. It's got my title It has my description. It's got my tags. Everything is right there for everyone to see I like free shipping I like for my listing to show free shipping because I feel like that brings in Buyers that only want free shipping because there are some people that search for free shipping and they won't pay shipping So that is one of the reasons I choose that option But again, if you're a new seller, I highly recommend using the labels just to keep it simple Do you guys want to do another item? Let's do one more just to make sure that You totally got it and I'll just do it a little quicker so you guys can actually see how quick It is to list an item and it's just as quick on the app So this is a piece of jewelry now Ladies, I know you've got jewelry in your jewelry boxes. Go grab it if you're not wearing it get it listed Oops, I accidentally Pulled one of the other photos. Okay, so I'm gonna put my title as vintage Whoops Pressure's on I can't spell vintage Christmas tree brooch Gold tone rhinestone pen Okay, again, this is just what I do. I copy my title and Then I put see photos for Condition and Measurements now if this item had a defect that I would disclose it here But this item doesn't have any defects. It looks good I do have the actual caliper that I'm using to measure the item That just is a really easy tool to get and it's super cheap for jewelry I really like to use it to show size Okay, so we are gonna put vintage brooch and Christmas here and then the category Suggested categories. I'm gonna pick brooch vintage jewelry. It doesn't have a brand. So I'm just gonna hit no brand And then I'm gonna say it is in good condition I'm gonna go ahead and put gold here just because It is gold tone There it is Okay, I Let how about this one? Let's do mercury shipping because it's a lightweight item So I'm gonna show you It might be six ounces It's probably less than that, but I do usually try to package it safely So I'll put it in a box or something like that. So that will increase the weight So I'm gonna select the carrier. So it's gonna be four dollars and 80 cents for this item So I am gonna save it and On the other one I did ship on your own But for this one, I'm gonna show you how to do it this way now Vintage jewelry is it's tricky. It's tricky to price. It's hard to hard to know how to price things I know on the app it will Give you a suggested price. I'm not seeing that on the desktop. So that is another advantage of using the app If there are comparables it will suggest a price for you now I recommend that you still look things up and try to figure out sold prices For like items because sometimes that suggested price is a little bit off Sometimes it's higher than I expect and sometimes it's lower than I expect So definitely still do your research and don't just use that. That is more of a helper, but it's not foolproof Okay, so I'm gonna put $50 on this I'm gonna turn off smart pricing Actually, you know what? Let's leave it on for this one and I'm gonna put my floor price at $42 and I am gonna hit list Okay, so now I have listed two items this one it's gonna show a delivery fee So I may lose a potential buyer that wants free shipping on this item And I might not you just never know if somebody really wants the item. This is a vintage hard to find item I couldn't find anything else that looked anything like it and So I'm just gonna see how it goes. I can always change that to free shipping at a later time I can also adjust the price by doing price drops. All right, so let's go over here and Let's look at Some of the items that I have listed now I have the option to promote the listing so what does that mean if I click promote on this item it is Going to change it's gonna mark down the price to 80 and then it's gonna kind of Make it rank higher in search to likers So let me show you one of those Okay, so these are iron-on transfers. So I'm gonna hit offer to like her and I am gonna offer I'm gonna do $40 and try and move this so name your price $40 So that is gonna go out to anybody that was watching this item And you can also send offers on your phone So now it's gonna show me the selling fee for this is gonna be four dollars the processing fee is a dollar 46 So I'm gonna earn thirty four dollars and fifty four cents if this item sells So do I want to do that after seeing those numbers? Am I happy with making that offer to those buyers? So this row right here are the people that like your item and those are the ones that you can send offers to okay, bumps it up higher in the search and Gets more eyes on your item and potentially a lower price may draw in a different customer Okay, so Let's talk about What you can sell on Mercari So here are some of my solds. You can pretty much sell anything on Mercari That is what is so fantastic Again search every area of your house call your neighbors call your friends ask them for stuff and just list it you guys make that money So you'll list it you sell it you ship it and you earn money.

You're gonna put it on your package You're gonna ship the item. So that item is gonna ship to the buyer The buyer is gonna have three days to rate you if they do not rate you after three days Mercari is gonna rate you you're gonna get an alert that you've been rated and then you have to rate the buyer Which is basically leaving feedback.
