There was a purse in fair condition I planned on buying, and the seller sent an offer for $18. I was hesitant to purchase immediately since I was warned by Mercari about the seller having an “unusually high” cancellation rate of 30% when I tried adding the purse to my cart.

Additionally, they had no information whatsoever listed so I asked for measurements. By the time the seller got back to me with the measurements, the offer had expired.

I thanked them for the additional photos and asked if they’d consider selling for $15. They go on to say no, they wouldn’t earn enough from the sale. $3 less than their initial offer for a purse with exterior pen marks and stains but ok. That’s fine, I understand. I ask if they can resend their initial offer of $18 again, and they delete/ inactivate the entire listing.

What the hell happened? It’s like they were offended by their own offer. Was I wrong? It makes me wonder if this person even understands how offers work and maybe that’s why they cancel so many orders due to not realizing they’re sending offers they don’t approve of somehow, then canceling the order… either that, or if they even get a sense you’ll give less than 5 stars they cancel/ block the sale. Which doesn’t make sense in my case considering I was nothing but polite and understanding in my communications with them.

I will say this seller seemed off/ strange; they didn’t understand what a strap drop measurement was, the photos were terrible, and every single listing title and description of theirs ended in exaggerated ellipsis like this “. . . . . . .” which just strikes me as odd. They’re either very old, very young, don’t speak English, or a combination of two.

Should I even bother reaching out to them? Regardless of the condition and the strange/ petty seller, it was a very hard to find vintage bag that I fully planned to purchase and wanted, so this just really sucks. What would you do?

I recently purchased a 100% cotton dress off Depop that arrived with either foundation or self tanner all along the neckline. The white also looks slightly dingy, so wanted to use oxiclean white revive to get the stain out and brighten. However, the dress is embroidered with deep blues, pinks, and green and the embroidery is cotton as well.

I know it says “safe on colors” for oxiclean white revive, but what are the chances it would fade the embroidery? I absolutely do not want to fade the embroidery. Any advice for cleaning this is appreciated!

Yesterday afternoon, my brain wasn’t functioning apparently and I returned some pants that I had actually meant to keep. They were from an online order by the brand Cali1850.

What are the chances that they’d still be there today? Either behind the register, or out on the floor? Anyone who works at Marshall’s, would that brand usually be kept in women’s or juniors? Most importantly, how quickly do they put online returns back out on the floor?

The problem is I only want THAT specific pair I received due to the way the pattern lined up almost perfectly. Every other pair I’ve seen of these pants, the pattern looks so bad in comparison to the ones I HAD 😭

I can’t believe I had originally ordered multiples of these pants for this very reason of being particular about the pattern, managed to find one that was perfect, and STILL returned it 🤦🏻‍♀️ One of my dumbest moments, I just know the chances of getting those pants again with that exact pattern placement is slim to none… smh
