I am looking for a subReddit to sell syringes (for laboratory or research use). I am curious to know if there is a subreddit where I can sell this type of merchandise (brand new, sealed, and original manufacturers packaging)
I have been renting the townhome I currently live in since March 2023 from the person I thought was the homeowner. I never had any reason to doubt that he was the Homeowner. One time I was out of town and unable to bring my trashcan in and received a $100 fine from the HOA and the letter was made out to him so that kind of confirmed in my mind that he was the Homeowner. He was the person that showed me the house, had me fill out a lease, had someone come out when the AC stopped working, etc….
Fast-forward three years and two months, 48 hours ago I received a knock at my door. A very polite man and his mother introduce themselves to me and asked if I was Scott’s caretaker. I advised them that Scott was the Homeowner and I was the tenant. Immediately, I realized something was wrong by the look on their faces. They proceeded to ask me if Scott lived here, and I stated that no he purchased a house in the villages and lived in one of the properties he owned in that town (two hours south of Jacksonville, Florida). I find out that I am meeting the actual homeowners for the first time and they pull up tax records and all of this information to show me that they are the homeowners They were very polite and kind to me and told me that I had been the victim of a scam.
This is the part I do not understand. I have been paying, Scott, the person who is supposed to be renting this place $1700 a month for rent. Scott has been leasing this townhome for five years for $2250 a month. The $1700 a month that I pay also includes utilities (electric, and water), and Internet access. The Real Homeowner’s said that the $2250 a month does include the monthly HOA fee.
It took me 24 hours to even begin to process and wrap my head around this situation. Neither the actual homeowners nor I can figure out how it benefits, Scott, the fake landlord to be charging me $1700 a month for rent while he is paying $2250 a month for rent and has been for the last three years and two months. Fortunately, they said he is current on his rent payments. They advise me not to pay a single penny to him going forward and that the rent money needs to go to the actual Homeowner. I had to fill out a lease, but do not know if I can even afford the additional $550 a month plus utilities.
Can someone please explain to me what kind of scam the fake landlord could be doing? I cannot figure out how he is charging me $550 less than the amount actually owed for rent. Somehow, it has to benefit him. Somehow he has to be profiting.
They told me a few things that Scott had told them and the things that he told me was the complete opposite. This person is obviously a sociopath and has multiple scams going. He put me in a very bad situation, as I was in a very bad car accident two weeks ago, and I am supposed to be on bedrest and do not know how I would even begin to move, much less afford to pay movers. My car was totaled and is still being “ evaluated” by progressive, and I am not in any shape to drive a rental car to even begin to look at homes at the moment anyway.
I can tell that these are good hearted, Christian people, and they aren’t trying to throw me out immediately, but I do not know what my legal recourse is. From the online research I have done, it looks like I need to file a police report today. I don’t know if that is the smart move to make immediately, because I do not even have the money to pay a down payment for utilities. He has me in a very bad situation at the moment and I could use any advice from anyone that may have had any experience with the situation like this in the past.
I dated someone for a little over five years and was absolutely madly in love with this person. He loved me, but it was clearly not the same kind of love. He was good to me, and he took care of me, but he was never faithful to me and I first caught him cheating on me right after I moved in his house after about 3 1/2 weeks of dating. Had I not just moved in his house and had I not been to humiliated to ask my roommate to move back in that would’ve been the end of it but it wasn’t and this relationship went on for five years and it got to the point where it was an open relationship on his end only and he would go out every Friday night and the rule was that he was supposed to be home by 3 AM and I would sit at home or maybe do something with one of my girlfriends, but I never asked any questions because I didn’t want to know. Eventually, he started getting me to sleep with girls with him and, nothing against people that do this for a living, but they were prostitutes and they were girls that were his daughter‘s age…… fast forward five years he decides to stop meeting girls on Tinder and sugar. Daddy apps, and started pretending that he was interested in women to sleep with him…. It didn’t take long before he found the squirrel Julie that he actually liked and she cheated on me with her for nine months….. He then told me that he wanted to be with this girl Jolie….. I always felt like he wanted to be with anyone but me and for some reason I just wasn’t good enough…… well, we broke up and I was so devastated that I seriously tried to commit suicide and I still don’t understand how I survived….. It was an extremely tough year….. eventually I met someone and I started dating him, not because I loved him but because I was trying to get over my ex. When my ex realize I was starting to move on, he pulled me back in…… he is still dating this girl that he cheated on me with, but we hang out together a few days a week and sleep together 3 to 5 days a week…. Now I feel that I am no better than he is…… The worst part is that he is marrying this woman next week….. He says nothing will change between us….. he does not realize is that I am already dying a little bit more inside each day…… I have literally not slept in …, well, if I don’t sleep tonight, it’ll be four nights because I’m so distraught. I’m so madly in love with this man and he does do good things for me and help support me but at the same time he has always sort of just discarded me as a piece of trash. At 43, I had pretty much just given up on the idea I’ve ever finding anybody and spend every day by myself in my house alone… With the exception of when I see him….. I don’t know if anyone has been in a similar situation or give me maybe some pointers because I’m afraid that this story isn’t going to end well for me…

I have been trying to get someone to read my email, understand my situation, and help me with my issue for days and I’m now reaching out and asking everyone for help! I did contact the BBB today, and received a response that they are looking into it, but I really need help and I’m hoping this community might be able to help draw some attention to this matter.
If possible, repost & tag @Mercari_App! I cannot get anyone to help me with my issue.

** Here is a copy of the most recent email I sent, opening a second ticket number hoping to get someone to assist me. I have uploaded proof of the item dimensions and the item weight. (I rounded up the dimensions and the weight to avoid ever having a situation like this occur.). Mercari is charging me an extra $26.26 for shipping. At first they said it was because the item weighed 10 pounds, and then when I uploaded proof, they said that it is because of the dimensions of the box. (I mailed this in the original manufacturers packaging… not in an additional cardboard box). The laws of physics do not support a plastic wrapped box expanding 7” during shipping!
Hello,
I am formally contesting the shipping adjustment associated with ticket ******. and requesting a formal shipping-adjustment review.
I dispute both the reported carrier measurements and the resulting $26.26 adjustment.
The shipment details entered were accurate and intentionally rounded up:
- Actual packaged weight: 2.98 lb
- Label weight selected: 3 lb
- Manufacturer dimensions: 3” x 6” x 14”
- Dimensions entered for shipment: 5” x 10” x 14”
The item shipped was a small ********** packaged securely in a box with protective wrapping. The reported dimensions and/or weight referenced previously by support do not reasonably align with the actual item or packaging used.
I have already provided supporting documentation, including manufacturer specifications. I am requesting that the formal review specifically examine:
- The carrier-recorded weight
- The carrier-recorded dimensions
- The audit or scan data used to justify the adjustment
- Whether dimensional weight was applied correctly
Please include all supporting carrier evidence and measurements used during the review process.
Thank you,
********
After opening a new ticket, I received another generic response that did not provide me with the information I requested and basically just told me that I was wrong. Per the rules of this group, I am not able to upload the photographic evidence where the weight and dimensions are clearly stated. There was no need to place this box inside of a larger box. I have been disputing this for days now and would greatly appreciate anyone giving me some guidance as to how to resolve this issue. I have been shipping multiple items through this platform for months and have never had an issue arise before. Now that I have had an issue arise, I cannot hear anyone to assist me from the selling platform and I’m desperate for help.
Hi *******
We appreciate the information, however, it is not a valid proof to dispute the charges made by the Carrier.
Incase you have the actual size of the packaging materials used with Measurement, you can provide it to us.
We understand the importance of clarity on this issue. Your package's weight may match the label, but shipping charges can vary due to several factors.
After review, we confirmed with the carrier that no error occurred regarding your overdue postage charge. Dimensional weight must be considered when selecting a shipping label; if it's higher than the actual weight, the label must cover that.
As a result, Mercari deducted $26.26 from your sales profit to cover shipping costs incurred from the incorrect label weight.
For more details on shipping with Mercari labels, please check our Help Center article on dimensional weight and calculations here:
https://www.mercari.com/us/help\_center/article/172
For future orders, we recommend using the suggested label weight from Mercari or measuring your package to select the correct weight, accounting for packaging materials and dimensions.
Should you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again.
