How to cross list (import) Depop listings to Mercari
Crosslisting from Depop to Mercari means putting the same item up for sale on both marketplaces, so more buyers see it. Done by hand, it means downloading photos and retyping every field. With OctoResell it takes three clicks, and you still check the listing before it goes live.

Step by step
- Import from Depop. Open your item on Depop and click Import to OctoResell at the bottom right. It saves the photos, title, description, price, brand, size and condition in your browser.
- Send to Mercari. Press Mercari in the card that appears, or in the OctoResell popup. The Mercari listing form opens in a new tab.
- Check and post. OctoResell uploads the photos and fills the fields. Its checklist shows anything it could not fill, with a button that jumps to the field. Fix those, then press Mercari's own post button.
What carries over to Mercari
- Photos: full-size, up to 12 per listing.
- Title: Mercari titles are limited to 80 characters, so long Depop titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
- Description: up to 1,000 characters, with brand, size, color and condition added on one line at the end.
- Price: copied as is, or raised or lowered by the percentage you set to cover Mercari's fees.
- Category and condition: picked from Mercari's dropdowns when a close match exists. If not, the checklist tells you to pick them.
Before you post on Mercari
Mercari asks for shipping weight and who pays shipping. Those depend on your package, so set them yourself after the fill.

Questions
Can I import my Depop listings to Mercari?

Can I crosslist from Depop to Mercari automatically?
Yes. OctoResell imports your Depop listing and fills the Mercari listing form with photos, title, description, price, brand and size. You check the form and post it yourself.
How many photos can I copy from Depop to Mercari?
Mercari accepts up to 12 photos per listing. OctoResell uploads full-size photos from Depop up to that limit.
Will my Depop title fit on Mercari?
Mercari titles are limited to 80 characters, so long Depop titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
Can I sell the same item on Depop and Mercari at once?
Yes, many resellers list one item on both. The risk is selling it twice, so take the other listing down as soon as one sells.
Does crosslisting to Mercari remove the Depop listing when it sells?
It can. While your browser is open, OctoResell checks your linked listings every 15 minutes. When a sale is confirmed it removes the item from Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Vinted for you, after asking first unless you turn on automatic removal. eBay, Etsy and Facebook listings open in one click so you can end them. Sales made on Facebook are not detected.
OctoResell does these steps for you. Free for 5 fills a day, or $15 a month for unlimited crosslisting. Cancel anytime.
