For context, the item I bought was listed on mercari jp but was shown on regular mercari through the BEENOS shipping. I immediately purchased it since it looked like such a cute ita bag and never really bought anything directly from Japan. So I didn't think much of it and right after I completed my purchase? I had my order canceled? By mercari no less? Is this normal when buying from overseas?

I know I'm probably gonna get an email later from depop about starting my automatic refund but, it's been kinda annoying having the seller make promises but not living up to it. I've checked out their page and they've sold a couple items and have a 1-3 day shipping badge. So I'm just confused why they couldn't ship before the ten days were up.

I'm not saying they should've shipped immediately, no I'm a seller myself so I understand we all have lives and stuff. But, I mean I would've understood if it was around 8 days since purchase or something. I always give all my sellers the benefit of the doubt and even if they ship late or have horrible communication skills, I'm still nice to them regardless.

Why couldn't they have just told me straight up they would be too busy to even ship a few days after I made the purchase? Why make promises but not follow through? (ToT)

But omfg first time buying on depop and I really should've realized it was too good to be true. Overly excited when I found the ita bag of my dreams being resold and thinking I've hit the jackpot from paying double the amount to Japanese proxies. But nope!

What yall think? My hope for them to ship today is like very very very low tbh.

And ik about the whole depop auto refund stuff beforehand BTW, just wanted to check on their reactions. Probably the last time I'll ever make any purchases on that app.
