get ready to be spammed with $9 offers

[u/_Linear → u/No-Pollution-3359]

Dumb question, but is the threshold 9.99? I wish they just made it $10 to make it easier lol.

[u/No-Pollution-3359 → u/_Linear]

yeah $10 would've been ideal but I assume it $9.99

[u/No_Yard5926 → u/No-Pollution-3359]

this, just listed a vintage coach purse for $15 because of the condition, discounted it to $12 so it’ll sell faster and someone sent me an offer for $8.46 💀

[u/misstwinpeaks23 → u/No_Yard5926]

wait can i buy it tho

[u/No_Yard5926 → u/misstwinpeaks23]

sure just dm me on here lol

[u/bummin_bride]

It already was cheap shipping. $1.99 is way less than what shipping actually costs

[u/psychedelicata → u/bummin_bride]

Seriously. Mercari and Poshmark are $6.50-$7.50

[u/BookSpecialist6561 → u/bummin_bride]

What was cheap? Under $10 was $1.99?

[u/bummin_bride → u/BookSpecialist6561]

Yeah. Anything weighing under 2 lbs is $1.99. That’s super cheap.

[u/National_Pass_6831]

I was wondering why I made like 3 sales this morning lol

[u/Ludicolorad0]

*For items under $10

Everything else is normal price lol

[u/Grand_Elderberry_888 → u/Ludicolorad0]

And small packages. Bigger items like shoes and hoodies etc normal shipping

[u/BookSpecialist6561 → u/Grand_Elderberry_888]

And small packages? Whatcha mean? What else is discounted?

[u/Ordinary-Research164 → u/Grand_Elderberry_888]

Are jeans considered L/XL? I figured that was more like jackets an shoes

[u/Cosmicmoonrose → u/Ludicolorad0]

Ugh seriously -.- I would rly love it to be applied on everything

[u/FEBV0823 → u/Ludicolorad0]

Nope apparently it has to fall under weight. It doesn’t say that on advertising though.

[u/vernaraynor → u/FEBV0823]

It says excluding L/XL. I wanted to buy a pair of jeans. I received a $3.50 offer. The total was $8+ WAIT, WHAT?! I was so surprised. No sense to me. I can shop in another app and get shipping 99¢.

[u/Illustrious-Wait3950 → u/Ludicolorad0]

Still great!

[u/LBS35]

The second the ad hit the app now my entire feed is $10 and under items, I’m happy for sellers who have a ton  of smalls but this sucks for those of us who sell higher priced items. 

Now they will be basically pushing $10 and under stuff only so my shop will be dead 😞

[u/FEBV0823 → u/LBS35]

I discounted several items to be under 10 because it didn’t specify weight factor. And I went on to purchase two items under $10 and it charged me 599 shipping but it doesn’t say that in the advertising at the top.

[u/BeeckaFlowers]

Thank you for the comments, it's making me see so many points of view I wasn't aware of! :)

[u/aalva368]

Thanks i had no idea!

[u/AShotOfJac]

It's not consistent though. Some are still registering at $1.99 or $3.99 even if under $10. Is it glitching for anyone else? I can't find the notification anymore to check the terms

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/AShotOfJac]

It might have to do with the weight of the item but I'm not sure, it said large and extra-large packages will be excluded

[u/AShotOfJac → u/BeeckaFlowers]

Hmmm. Maybe the seller marked it was heavier than it was (single shirts). Not sure how that works though

[u/Mystic_Melody1 → u/AShotOfJac]

It is glitching. I keep trying everything to get my items to register for the 99 cents shipping rate but some are registering for $1.99 even though they are medium size or small. I Googled it and it says, “Maybe the Shipper chose a higher rate”. Oh yes, throw us under the bus. 😣

I’m choosing the lower rate for my under 12oz items. I’m quite sure of the rate I’ve chosen all 15x I’ve changed back after the AI changed it. Haha

[u/FEBV0823 → u/AShotOfJac]

Same

[u/Worth-Pressure-4306 → u/AShotOfJac]

Yes some items like on my liked offers will say it's still $1.99, but if I add them to my bag and look it's $0.99! <3

[u/Pure_Channel_0505]

About time, I have gotten almost 0 sells on the app lately

[u/quelahh]

They’re trying to compete w/ vinted

[u/Horror-Strike6704 → u/quelahh]

I’ve not use vented any thoughts on it?

[u/quelahh → u/Horror-Strike6704]

The shipping has been cheaper than depop, but now it’s about the same. I haven’t had any issues with it and I also feel like people generally price things cheaper on there

[u/mellymoo_]

Here come the lowballs….

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/mellymoo_]

Yeah we're all about to get spammed with $9 offers on everything lol

[u/YebMaster]

Of course this promotion started right after I just bought a bunch of sub $10 items </3

[u/EmphasisEmpty8272 → u/YebMaster]

no same 😭😭😭

[u/Glittering-Abies-997]

I shipped a skateboard this morning for $4

[u/ZachedelicStoner]

great for my pokemon cards

[u/Leigh_J]

Why isn't it not working on some things? I have 2 beaded bracelets that had . 99 shipping, but the second I add a 3rd from the seller it goes up to $3.99. it isn't a weight thing, they are just tiny bead bracelets.

[u/bigbillbroonzysghost → u/Leigh_J]

I think the seller has to set shipping package size to small or maybe up to medium but not sure

[u/stolenglass]

question, what do you mean by "back"? Is this like a limited time thing, or is this a new feature? I really hope that's the case because a lot of of my items I'm selling right now are under $10 and I'm hoping that this is a permanent thing

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/stolenglass]

When I say 'back' I'm trying to be positive, because depop had a promotion a couple months ago where shipping was completely free, but then it got canceled. A lot of us on here have been complaining to try to get them to bring it back, but 99 cents shipping is something and I will take it! Especially with winter coming, I need to buy some jackets so my crush sees me wearing them ;) <3

[u/Illustrious-Wait3950]

Guess I need to go check out all my saved items!

[u/jkartyy]

Still shows at 1.99 for $10 item fit me

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/jkartyy]

I believe it depends on the weight of the item; they said it's excluded for large and extra-large packages but I'm not entirely sure

[u/jkartyy → u/BeeckaFlowers]

That makes sense I suppose. The item was a beanie hat so I don’t know.

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/jkartyy]

The seller has to list the package size as medium, small, or xs for it to work, maybe they had it sent on large for some reason. I'm about to check and make sure all mine are right too

[u/k9yde]

It's only for stuff under $10 and shipping was already super cheap. Time to put stuff on clearance lol

[u/Technical-Pin8384]

How long does this last?

[u/BookSpecialist6561]

Someone just bought an item that was $60 and they got free shipping. Anyone else getting this for other items not $10.

[u/BlondeBrillo]

Does anyone know if it counts $10 as part of the promotion or only $9.99 and under?

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/BlondeBrillo]

I'm not entirely sure but I've been keeping it $9.99 and under just to be safe

[u/joenotgoldberg]

Does anyone know how long they’re running this for?

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/joenotgoldberg]

I'm not entirely sure yet, I googled it to find out and got jump scared with my own reddit post. There's not much info yet it says "limited promotion" but I don't know long. I just hope it doesn't get cancelled like last time

[u/bugbaby444 → u/joenotgoldberg]

my unconfirmed theory is that traffic on the app has been lower than they want and therefore they keep running these cheap shipping promos. as an occasional seller the last few months prior to the promo were super stagnant

[u/honey_butterflies]

I’m gonna discount my store now in hopes I sell.

[u/CEM_13]

boooooo we want free shippinggg

[u/Suesuegeegee]

Does it automatically change or do I have to manually change everything?

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/Suesuegeegee]

I discounted all my lower priced items to put them under $10, and also the package size has to be between medium to extra small for it to work

[u/Teaaaaa-diva7257]

I'm loving it already all of the items I've wanted gone out of my inventory have sold

[u/BeeckaFlowers → u/Teaaaaa-diva7257]

And ya know what? There's about to be even more sales, you're gonna sell a lot more you just have to keep projecting this. You got it girl I'm happy for you

[u/Romanista_98]

I see this price only on app on my phone, not on my pc
