Mercari has rolled out several updates that are shaking up how sellers manage listingsâespecially when it comes to promotions and bulk editing. Whether you’re a seasoned seller or just starting out, these changes could impact your workflow, pricing strategy, and overall sales performance. Here’s a breakdown of whatâs new and how to make the most of it.
đ Promote Button: Whatâs Changed?
Mercariâs âPromoteâ feature has long been a favorite for boosting visibility and nudging likers toward a purchase. But recent updates have added new layersâand removed some old ones.
Key Changes:
- Smart Offers Discontinued: Mercari has officially retired the Smart Offers feature, which previously allowed automated counteroffers within a set price range.
- Auto-Offer to New Likers (Beta): Select users now have access to a beta feature that automatically sends your last âOffer to Likersâ to new likers without requiring a new price drop.
- Promotion Limits Lifted?: Sellers report being able to promote more than the usual 10 listings per dayâsome even promoting 100+ items. Mercari hasnât confirmed if this is a permanent change or a glitch.
Promote vs. Offer to Likers Comparison:
| Feature | Promote | Offer to Likers |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Price Drop | 5%+ | 10%+ |
| Visibility | Everyone | Up to 50 most recent likers |
| Duration | Permanent | Expires after 24 hours |
| Automation | Smart Pricing (if enabled) | Auto-offer to new likers (beta) |
| Frequency | Once every 24 hrs per item | Same, but must drop price again |
