Worth knowing
- Mercari charges its selling fee when an item sells, not when you list or delete. Deleting an unsold item does not cost a fee.
- If a buyer has already paid, you are in an order, not a listing. Cancel the order through Mercari instead, and read its cancellation rules first.
Delisting Mercari automatically
Mercari is removed automatically. After you confirm a sale made elsewhere, OctoResell deletes the Mercari listing and verifies it.
OctoResell checks items that are listed on two or more marketplaces about every 15 minutes while your browser is open. It calls a sale only after the marketplace confirms it on two separate checks. It then removes the other listings from Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Vinted, asking you first unless you turn on automatic removal, and checks that each listing is really gone. For eBay, Etsy and Facebook it opens the right page so you can end the listing yourself.
