[Strategic Technique] Why You Should Delete Your Mercari Sales History! How to Avoid Price Negotiation Requests✨
Do you delete your sales history?
Good morning!
This is Mercaku🌟
Do you
delete your sales history on Mercari?
Actually, this issomething you should do,
and today I would like to explain the reasons in detail😊
A real-life experience: What happens when your past prices are exposed
An actual message example
It's a T-shirt with a list price of 13,200 yen,but when I listed it for 7,400 yen, I received this message💦
"You sold it for 3,000 yen in the past, so please let me have it for that price~"
Since you sold it for 3,000 yen in the past,
it's only natural to think, "Please let me have it for that price~," right?
The buyer's psychology
If you don't change the price,
"Why did you lower the price for the previous person,
but you won't lower it for me?"
It makes them feel unhappy😰
This is a really difficult situation for a seller, isn't it?💦
