1. Prime Time Listing

Mercari is a chronological feed. List when buyers are active.

Golden Hours: Weekdays 7-10 PM EST. Sundays 8 PM EST is the highest traffic window of the week.

2. Price Anchoring

Mercari buyers love the "Make Offer" button. If you price at $20, they'll offer $15.

Fix: Price at $28. When they offer $22, they feel like they won, and you made $2 more than target.

3. Bundle Strategy

Mercari allows bundle discounts. Put "I BUNDLE! Message me to save shipping" at the top of every description.

This turns a $10 sale into a $50 sale with one shipping label.

4. Smart Hashtags

Use 3 hashtags for broad categories: #Vintage #90s #Streetwear

Avoid keyword stuffing - Mercari's AI shadow-bans spammy listings.
