Success on Selling at Mercari

Late Sunday, I decided to open an account with Mercari, an app where you can buy/sell straight from your phone. There are less restrictions on what you can sell versus where I am currently selling on Poshmark. And most importantly, Mercari has no commission fees, no listing fees whereas Poshmark takes 20% commission - which is a large chunk!
Sunday Night: I listed about a dozen items.
Monday: I made 2 sales
Tuesday (Today): I made 1 sale
I don't get my money until the buyer receives the items and supposedly rates me. If they don't rate the transaction within 3 days, the funds will automatically be released to me. Then from there, I should be able to transfer the funds directly to the bank.
I am very excited and I hope all goes well. 
3 less items I decluttered from the house!

You have to link your bank account for direct deposit. :)

I've sold with Poshmark and you don't get the money right away. It's very secure with Poshmark BUT they take 20% which is a large chunk. For instances you make a sale of $100, they take $20 right out of the bat already. You don't get paid right away either but the person buying got the money deducted from their payment option already too. It goes to the website holding it then once released , your funds will be released. If it's after 3 days, funds will be automatically released.

My brother sold some speakers for something like 375. I think is cool that people can make money that way. Sounds like things are going well for you so far.

It depends where you live. I know it works in the US.

I've never sold anything online. I have purchased a lot of stuff, though.

Thats nice. I think that will not work in our country. I use ebay for my selling. Not only my used stuffs... I just do buying and selling on ebay. I have earned about $80 now.
But I still need to improve my sales.

Yeah this site is for US only. That is great you do eBay (I don't use eBay but have seen people who do). Good job on your earnings and cheers to more!
