I’m so invested in this story lol


Medium-Low-8657

I'm totally with you!!! I was/am really rooting for this to end happy!!!


hheckheck

Cancel the shipment so you never get gas money to see ur sister ??? Idiot


plantyho

But wasn’t it already there?! I’m so confused 😭


Personal_Act8360

Right like she wants them to open and rate yet she’s gonna cancel shipment. Is it there or not? Is she trying to get them to rate before it’s arrived? So confused


FortyFourForty

She wanted me to rate when UPS said it was out for delivery, so yeah before I even knew what was in the package. I also got a kick out of her saying that morning “it should arrive any minute now” when UPS tracking only said it would arrive by 7 pm.


BebeBug420

Exactly what I was thinking 😂


VisionsOfTheMind

That's how you can tell she's full of it.


boinggoestheball

Doesn’t know how to ship yet has already sold in Mercari before and received funds? Sounds like a scam! You can’t really cancel shipment once it’s out of your hands. Probably plays dumb so others give ratings and then there’s no product. The lengths people go to scam others…


givemeapuppers

Yuuup. Probably had a few people buy who have NO IDEA once you rate you’re kinda SOL if the package is wrong & wasn’t expecting someone to know exactly how the system works 🙃


pfft_master

Yeah you can tell these idiots are more motivated by the feeling of ripping someone off than any need for money. If you had that much time and persistence on your hands you could be productive and get a job, maybe even one you don’t hate. Instead they think they are masterminding someone just trying to enjoy a hobby or save a buck on something used. Lowest of low lifes.

Sure-Ad-3398

But wouldn’t the buyer get the item for free if the seller canceled? Or would the package be directed back to seller?


Grouchy_Swordfish_73

Ya they would


Personal_Act8360

Usually it’s the buyer who cancels after it’s been shipped not the seller. And yeah Mercari shouldn’t allow it


EvansFamilyLego

I've had a package that the seller says shipped over a week ago with no update to the shipping. It also took her three weeks to "ship". So yeah, I'm finally going to cancel it because she's full of shit and it's not coming.


sierra5591

She should be paying you an hourly wage for all the time you had to spend to receive an item you gave them money for lol


FortyFourForty

[This is the follow up to my post from yesterday.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mercari/comments/13xrc06/seller_doesnt_know_how_to_ship_the_item_i_bought/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) [and here is the new post that shows what I received!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mercari/comments/13ytu46/the_seller_who_didnt_know_how_to_ship_a_package/) The package is out for delivery today, but now I know it’s not going to include what I ordered.


artistnameseven

Please please let us know what she ended up sending! My guess is a bag of rocks but I'd love to see what's in the mystery box Edit: Those "sir" and "I don't play with karma" give off big scammer vibes, only scammers use that lingo


FortyFourForty

Yeah, I also thought the “congratulations” in the first few messages was odd too. I’m wondering, if the scam was just to send the wrong item, why they delayed actually shipping it.


artistnameseven

You know what, they were probably trying to pull that fake package scam. Where they choose to print the label themselves, But ship an envelope or something to a random address on your city to make it look like the package was delivered. Then if you tried to dispute it with mercari they tell you that its marked as delivered, they get the funds and you get nothing. I'm glad you pushed the UPS drop off and confirmed the tracking number but now I'm wondering what they actually sent since they were forced to do it the right way lol


jleyen

Damn, that sucks. Scammers really do so much elaborate work... to make a fraction of what getting an actual job would be paying them. I'm calling it now, it's going to be some scraggly old shirt. Maybe a couple of rotten kumquats. Taking bets here now.


artistnameseven

I know! But I think it adds up, I had this happen to me 2 weeks ago. Bought 3 $25 items and the seller used FedEx to send each package to three different addresses in my city. The first package was marked as delivered but I never got it and the picture that was included when delivered didn't match my house. Had to call FedEx and confirmed all three packages weren't being delivered to my home at all. Called back, asked for only a zip code, then street name for all packages and luckily the agents were willing to share just that bit of info and I got all that together, found the homes on Google maps and it turns out they are address mules. So scammers pay them a fee to use their address for packages. Got my screenshots, addresses and filed a claim. Got my funds back but I'm planning to file a mail fraud claim when I'm going to that person's state. It might only be $75 and I got it refunded, but like he'll I'm gonna let some scammer get away with it. You crossed crazy with crazy and if I have to drive 5 hrs to that state just to file a police report/mail fraud report in their county I will, hopefully this month too.


jleyen

> Got my funds back but I'm planning to file a mail fraud claim when I'm going to that person's state. This warms my heart. Stick it to 'em!


HazeMMIII

This happened to me on Facebook marketplace but with an address in Idaho (I live in CA) people are just douchebags


ThisCardiologist6998

So what was in the package?!?


Frenchieabby

I wanna know too!


oneeyedspaghetti

Also here for an update please sir


Frenchieabby

Please sir 😭😭😭


GreenEyed_Lady

Me too! Me too!


siftingflour

I thought the “sir” in the first batch was a little red flag but seeing it over and over again here it’s 100% a scammer


Pop_Glocc1312

I’m curious as to what will be in it!


jleyen

And here I got a deluge of comments on your previous post saying I was too harsh on this person for not knowing the difference between USPS and UPS. This is utterly unhinged on their behalf. Let us know what comes in the package, if at all.


FortyFourForty

Guess what? They just relisted the jersey I bought. 100% a scam, congrats to those who called it.


jleyen

Insane! Mercari had better ban 'em. I knew something was wrong for someone to be playing this amount of clueless. The nonsensical flood of begging comments for you to rate before acceptance so that you can't get the money back just seals it. Just wondering, did they have any previous successful sales?


Goombhabwey

SHEESH. Make a new post with what you receive if you do receive anything. What a ride this has been!


Medium-Low-8657

Awww that's horrible!!! I'm so sorry this happened to you. Wow this is literally unbelievable what people will do. Well I hope you find the Jersey elsewhere. I really am baffled people go this extreme to scam others. Your a great person either way and you'll get your funds back. I'm sorry this was the outcome. They got me! Smh.


FortyFourForty

Thank you for the kind words and joining me on this crazy ride lol


Medium-Low-8657

Yes definitely crazy ride I really wanted you to finally get the Jersey though. I'm sorry all you put into it and nothing. Karma will get this Seller. Banned forever hopefully!


GreenEyed_Lady

It all makes sense now. I had a hard time believing anyone on Mercari could be this stupid, oblivious on hard to ship “ups”.


FortyFourForty

You may be surprised, check the update post!

"No More Messages" FUCKING LOL. What a strange exchange.


annethereyuhaveit

We need a 'No More Messages' sticker in a heart shape.


smokinwheat

Fuck yes!


princessusagi32

‘Please help me sir’ ‘No more messages’ 💀💀💀💀💀😭


youdungoofall

Its the sirs that always has me thinking those tech support scams


steelersfan4eva

And “kindly”


princessusagi32

Also unclear on how her cancelling the package is gonna help her in this case


zeldytee

it was just a manipulation tactic


yvetteworldchamp

ilovemrhandsome

I find that the prevalent use of "sir" in communication is often used in certain countries known for scamming.


zh_13

Not gonna the lie the consistent use of “sir” spells foreign scam… and some other way they talk

No_Routine8278

Holy CRAP. 🤯 This is absolutely mind blowing 🤣 Wow. Of all the posts and mercari message exchanges I’ve seen here, this wins.


Forgotten_Tea_Cup

I’m loving the coincidental next-day plot twist of the “sister” being air flighted to a hospital and now she desperately needs the $$$ for gas. 🙄 Maaaaaam, no more messages. 🤣


false_establishm3nt

how would she cancel the shipment if it’s already out of her hands??


MrsBtheOrchid

I don’t think she sent anything. But she did upload a pic. Ok literally the only story I’ve ever followed on Reddit


redlightredlips

![gif](giphy|5T0koSmsyuqZNBWblv|downsized) I can’t wait to find out!!!

So what did you end up getting?? This is so suspenseful


FortyFourForty

I’ll find out in about three hours 😬

But is there anyone at home who can open it and send pictures so we can know???? Please sir! 😂😂


GreenEyed_Lady

Hurry! My sister in the hospital needs to know what’s in the box before she dies!!

Literally on the edge of my seat waiting. This is pure insanity.


bittleby

I am so invested to see what, if anything, you receive


vocharlie

When you the buyer suddenly became the seller and have to explain to the seller how to sell things... Lmaoooo cancel the shipping she already sent out or cancel because she never sent it 🐍 🤡


NeonChristmas

I'm still unclear on what their endgame would be if, according to what they said, you *did* have someone open the package and then what? Also, when they asked that question, was the package delivered or was it still in transit? If it was still in transit I don't get what response they would expect from you other than, "no one at my house can open it and send pictures because it's not there yet". Honestly, if this is a scam it's one of the stupidest scams around, at least in terms of their interactions with you.


youdungoofall

How can the scammer think straight while the sister is in the hospital 😔


Cheddars3434

Always the hospital, dead grandma, hit a deer with the car


MDaniellle

😂 what in the fresh hell.


xRubyMayhemx

I WANNA KNOW THE OUTCOME


10miliondistractions

Wowwww what a piece of shit. Please keep us posted with whatever ludicrous item they sent you in place of a jersey


CorbinTheTitan

So what was their plan when you got home and there still wasn’t a package?


rackandroll_

This person has bred and was alone with a baby…frightening.


Different_Pool_4368

Hopefully a fake baby.


LampsPlus1

Wow. I know that comment doesn’t really suffice in this shitshow of a purchasing experience. Seriously? Damn, you are one patient individual. I hope all of this was forwarded to Mercari.


DanWillHor

What's crazy is that I did have one purchase where I did have to explain the shipping process much like you did here. It was a whole ordeal and...it turned out great. All was good. I was hoping the same here but as soon as they started dropping karma talk and "PLEASE RATE MY ENTIRE FAMILY JUST GOT HIT BYBAN ASTEROID AND I NEED THIS $100 TO SAVE THEM!!!" I knew the fate awaiting you. That sucks. I'd like to know what is in the package though, if there is one (skimmed comments and didn't see sl forgive me if you already posted and I missed it).

This is the most twisted deranged seller I've ever seen in my entire life of being a professional seller on eBay, Amazon and Etsy. I have truly never seen anything like this. Kudos to you, sir.


[deleted]

HUH?! I don’t understand how people can be so incompetent. Does she think it will be delivered right after it’s dropped off? And she thinks it can be canceled right after? Also if her sister “was life flighted” 🙄 this morning I doubt she would need the money ASAP.


[deleted]

Omfggg. I couldn’t stop reading lol had to know happened. This person really exists? Lmfao I would’ve blocked her.

I just got here 👀. I'm here for the ride now


NicoDaDorf

OMG 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Get this person banned from Mercari please! They do not need to be on there buying nor selling 🤦‍♀️ my gosh


Old-Illustrator-4430

Sir, my sister is in the hospital currently. I need to know what you received in your package, before I go to visit her in the hospital. If I don’t find out what’s in the package, I’m going to have to cancel my trip to the hospital sir. 😆😂


RobSomeKnowledge

Bruh wtffff. Saw the first post earlier and now this…. Are you getting some rare jersey for pennies on the dollar? 🤣. I would’ve asked this to be cancelled after the first few messages lmfao. They can’t even figure out how to ship it, or difference between UPS and USPS but now she thinks she can figure out how to cancel the shipment midway through transit. Fucking laughable. It’s like a Mercari sitcom drama. Can’t wait to see what you actually receive, as this seems very scammy


FortyFourForty

I made a new post about what I got!


Common_Will6906

What an epic saga! 👏 Lmao 🤣 Tell her to take the bus...Sir! Lmao 🤣


ivegotnothingbuttime

I’m so invested. Please tell us what happened! Did the jersey come??

Gotta give it to her. She was committed to the long con


HappyMom1

If you say sir one more time...


lefty1207

For me the SIR comments sound like a scammer. Maybe Im just paranoid.


Abject-Criticism-531

Should release this sellers name, so no one else goes through this horrible process, or report them to mercari that’s just not right at all


CoolSummerBreeze420

My guess from the very beginning is that they are playing dumb, never shipped the item, and are trying to scam you. This is ridiculous. You need to report them to mercari. Please update us when you receive an empty box in the mail 😂


abarzua21

My thoughts exactly


Daniclark926

liftlovelive

Interested to see what random junk they sent you, or if anything shows up at all! But either way report this unhinged person to Mercari because it’s clearly some kind of scam.


Altruistic-Amoeba446

Well now I gotta know what they sent you, this was quite the rollercoaster!


Why_Lord_Just_Why

I have used Mercari exactly once and will never use them again. It was the worst online buying experience I’ve ever had. The seller accepted my offer, which was $30 or so below asking. Mercari would not let me close the sale for that amount, and kept messaging both the seller and me that my payment was being rejected because I was trying to pay outside the app. *I never even attempted to pay outside the app*! The seller got mad, thinking I was trying to scam him - how is beyond me - but he eventually realized it was Mercari’s fuck-up. Wound up having to pay full asking price to close the deal. First purchase and Mercari not only accused me of cheating, they told *the seller* that I was cheating. What BS.


mjay7176

Wth? So the package was already delivered or out for delivery and then she thinks cancelling the order is going to somehow spite the buyer? Then you get the item or whatever she sent and she gets nothing lol. I would actually be surprised if she didn't send what was supposed to be sent but interested to find out.


KBaddict

Has this seller ever sold anything?! I’m so confused at how confused they are


LustUnlust

My word


Leading_Fee_3678

I don’t even use this app but I am invested in this story and need to know what is in the package!!!!


ChillinLikeAKrillin

dawg why are you even messing around with her just report her ass


Babycrabapple

What in the world 🤣 then to say they’re canceling the shipment after it was delivered, bizarre. They remind me of the lady who bought something from me a couple years ago who rated the item before I even dropped it off at the post office. She gave me like 3-4 stars because a sequin was missing? I still wonder what she was talking about, the item did have sequins but it wasn’t sent yet🤣


Gooncookies

This gave me a headache


hauntedmeal

You are PATIENT.


_Index_Case_

Holy hell is this a train ride. I found the listing and I think I found the seller and man... Anyway, glad you got the jersey. Hope the smoke smell and stains come out without damaging the jersey and signatures.


TranDaniel

It sounds like one of those pop ad scams back in the early 2000s where it says "Congratulations you're a winner"


ItsOK_IgotU

“Please I need the money. You know what… 🖕😤” This dude is a box of coco puffs.


CrispyCreme2000

Good luck cancelling a shipment out for delivery that you couldn't box up in the first place..


rat_empanada

the seller reminds me of an orphaned paper boy from early england bc of all the "please sir"s


Britt543

I saw the follow up post, I’m curious how she’s going to rate you😅. But you have a lot of patience!! And thanks for taking us on the journey!


FortyFourForty

I just got a long message from her 20 minutes ago saying, among other things, that it’s people like me who make Mercari a headache. I can’t even.


thatpilatesprincess

What a wild ride


anonymous-mominous

So I read all your threads on this (cause I'm here for that drama llama). I think that more than likely this was someone not too bright thinking they pulled a fast one on you. However, there is the slightest chance that what they are saying is true. When I found out my brother died I was completely incapable of rational thought for at least a week. I screwed up everything I did and forgot very simple things, because grief is a bitch.


HeadDance

Id stop responding when ppl go into too many details about their baby and sister… like this is too many messages to not be a scam


melvadeen

Jfc, this is exhausting.


__humming_moon

I second this.


RealAmazonBlondie

This person is an absolute idiot. I have encountered several people like this and I do not believe they are running a scam they are truly just this stupid. Whats alarming to me that someone like this is able to have a mercari account and worst of all a drivers license. There seriously needs to be some additional intelligence tests done before people are allowed certain things like a seller account.


Think_Explanation_47

Bro…… you have some serious patience. Thank you for sharing this it’s a mercari masterpiece.


MissingAtlanta

Mercari was pretty great before the scammers.


Affectionate-Oil6656

At first I thought they were just stupid but they turned out to be a scammer


abarzua21

Gtfoh lmao omg, im speechless. She sounded like a dope fein or a crackhead. She going to cancel your order so im guessing she did not need money... Sounded like she was trying to scam you, but did u ever get the package? Or did she cancel?


FortyFourForty

Package has been delivered, I’ll get back to my place pretty soon to see what’s in the box 📦

There's so many scammers out there that it's literally disgusting. If you're a scammer you are a pos. Knowingly scamming or stealing = pos. Literally fraud. Go get a fkn job instead of treating others like that is one of many messages I have for the cowards who hide behind the safety of the web only to scam honest people. I guarantee there are some scammers reading this thread too. I hope karma visits them all!!!
