Listings are only visible for about a week then the system expects you to pay $1.99 and up to promote your item (cost prohibitive for small item multiunit sellers). Nationwide shipping charge is $5 minimum enough to deter small item sales from ever happening (usps first class rate is $2.66). Lots of tire kickers be they local or nationwide. I did a few sales in 5/2018 then everything stopped. The only way to get more action is to painstakingly relist all my items. Not fun, inefficient and not a workable business model.

Being a disgruntled Letgo seller a friend referred me to Mercari. I had never heard of it before. So I need to ship out items before getting paid so what? Everything is backed up with tracking and they have a working payment interface which is HUGE for commerce apps. Sales are spotty and seem to run in cycles but I am converting. Listing is a snap using a mobile device. I wish I could list multiple quantities other than that pretty happy with this app.

I have about 30 or so items listed on Letgo. They get tons of recurring interest but due to lack of convenient payment interface make few actual sales.
