What makes Sellers and even Mercari think WE THE BUYER are going to PAY their EXTRA JUNK FEES on top of SHIPPING FEES and SALES TAXES!!! It’s NOT going to happen!

Checking my PURCHASE log … it turns out I have 151-PURCHASES to date – and – NONE of them where made AFTER the BUYER FEES started. Once my last purchase it settled … I WILL CANCEL MY MERCARI ACCOUNT.

ACH FEES … are JUNK FEES! There is VERY LIMITED COSTS to process an ACH. Mercari could have allowed ONE ACH PER WEEK at NO CHARGE. PEOPLE WILL WANT ACCESS TO THEIR MONEY … they DON’T WANT TO WAIT to try and gain another SALE (which may NEVER HAPPEN NOW with BUYER FEES) in order to “BUILD THEIR BALANCE” just to get their money!

And, Sellers who think they will “LOWER THEIR SELLING PRICE” because they now pay “no fees” … let’s call that BAIT-N-SWITCH!! NO BUYER is going to “approve” of seeing an ADVERTISED PRICE turned into a RIP-OFF once you ADD THE JUNK FEES to their orders. Las Vegas Strip hotels will “advertise low rates” on rooms … only to JACK UP THE RATES with their JUNK “RESPORT FEES!!!!”

BOTTOM LINE … no person wants to PAY JUNK FEES to SPEND their MONEY or GET their MONEY!!

BYE … MERCARI
