Title: Can I refund shipping on Mercari?
Post by: BlackCurtains on May 21, 2023, 02:04:37 AM
I've looked at the help articles on Mercari and from what I can tell, you can't just refund shipping. It says they don't do partial refunds. According to them, what I should do is cancel the sales and fully refund the buyer, then create a new 'bundle' just for said buyer and have them purchase that. Which is like, way opposite of eBay. It also seems unnecessarily complicated for both of us :huh:

What happened was someone bought two ponies separately and was charged twice for shipping. Mercari then provides the label but it's weighted for one pony each. So if I put both in the same package and print a new label myself, the buyer would need $4.30 back for the others shipping.

I could stick some cash in the package. Do you think that'd be okay?

edit: The shipping labels have the item number on them, and if I do both in one package it will show that I never shipped one. Gosh this is annoying. I think I'm just going to send two packages.

you need to ship 2 separate parcels.  mercari does not combine shipping.

 ^ I just ship separately. Do not include money in the package.

Yea, I find that annoying about Mercari.  I don't understand why they do that.

Mercari added a feature that combines shipping earlier this year. The buyer needs to put multiple items in their cart then select the option to bundle, and Mercari generates a multi-item sale with one shipping label. This process can only be done before the purchase is made (ie you still can't combine shipping after multiple items are purchased separately).
