Mercari has introduced a smart new feature that turns passive interest into active savings. When a buyer “likes” an item, Mercari may automatically place that item on a 72-hour sale, offering a temporary discount to encourage purchase.
This feature benefits both buyers and sellers:
- Buyers get a limited-time deal on items they’ve already shown interest in.
- Sellers enjoy increased visibility and urgency, potentially converting likes into sales.
🛍️ How It Works for Buyers
Here’s what you need to know:
- When you “like” an item, Mercari may notify you that it’s been placed on a 72-hour sale.
- The discount is automatically applied—no need to negotiate or wait for a seller to respond.
- You’ll see a countdown timer showing how long the deal lasts.
- Once the timer expires, the item returns to its original price.
💡 Tip: Like items you’re genuinely interested in—even if you’re not ready to buy. You might get a surprise discount within hours.

📈 How It Works for Sellers
If you’re a seller, this feature can help move inventory faster:
- Mercari may automatically discount your item when someone likes it.
- You’ll be notified when the sale starts and ends.
- You can opt out or adjust pricing if needed.
This creates a sense of urgency and taps into buyer psychology—turning “maybe later” into “buy now.”
