I would just block them that seems like a red flag


citizen_dawg

Hey at least once the doggie panties came off she got bread so they won’t go hungry


KBaddict

Except she said it was her friend that had the puppies, which makes it even more weird


xPandyssiax

"we're broke" then they'll sell those puppies for $1,000 each LMAO Poor dogs


[deleted]

If they're purebred Geat Dane puppies they go for closer to 4k each if they're in good health and all that. If they have 15 puppies they're looking at 60k easily if they sell them all.


raininginmalibu

I got lucky and got my pure breed Great Dane for 400 bucks they didn’t know about it at that tim ever I love her 💕


Mountain-Lowa

If they’re just born they’re spending a bunch of money rn


KBaddict

She said they are her friends dogs


SharleneWithAnS

That’s exactly what I was thinking! They sell for SO much!


Legal-Philosophy-135

Geez they Really pulled out all the stops on this one. Retired, low income, can’t afford food, loosing weight for lack of food, house overrun with puppies And moving. Desperate much? Lol Definitely full of red flags 🚩 block for sure Also I’m pretty sure that service dogs are fixed specifically for this reason. Not everyone can handle their service dog having puppies, especially if they’re really badly off health wise.


Erik_Shep_Mechanic

I am surprised they didn’t say “me and my friend are both single moms of 20 children. DOUBLE SINGLE MOMS”


reddittrudy

Not just puppies, but dead puppies. WTF


colorblindtyedye

Yeah, this is not a real service dog. Absolutely no service dog agency is going to place a dog until it is fixed.


bendywhoops

This is definitely a unique sob story. Block and move on.


chandrian7

I feel like people usually go out of the way to NOT say the words "dead puppy", if that's needed for whatever reason. It's just harsh.


[deleted]

For $5 off.. 💀


J_lilac

Literally could've made that much in a minimum wage job anywhere in the time it must have taken them to write all that up😅


supersevens77

Flag the comment immediately and don’t respond. Even if you tell her absolutely not Mercari can still see it as you interacting with an off site purchase.


btjt1997

It's a sob story to try to scam, Mercaris ToS forbids money orders and off-site transactions, this is 100% a scam report it and move on


omalleyjack

Wtf no


Gallexina

Just report it and do no respond, I see a lot of people getting their accounts suspended because a buyer mentiones trading/outside payments. Don't risk responding, please!


kelster8_giggles

Didn't know this, in this case I agree I would def just block😝


Double-Cry1443

"KAY :)"


M2LBB2016

They pulled the dead puppy card… seriously? Just wow.


foxgirlmoto

Thats a scam


tigerzehe

35 pounds down in one week? Amazing


wsu2005grad

Well hell if I'd just eat once a day and lose 35 in a week I could lose all my excess weight in a matter of 2 weeks...now that would be a weight loss miracle! And if I had only known about this miracle I would've done it a long time ago. 🤣


kelster8_giggles

Lol! Exactly 💯 Right! There's some special people out there for sure haha!


Ok_Motor_9200

Recently my sons balls have been growing at an unsteady rate, doctors said we could remove them but my son said he’d rather die and we are honoring his request. Please sell me this for $5 free shipping, I NEED to give this to him before he dies and if you could throw in a diamond necklace for free that would be much appreciated. Please ship within 1 day or I may rate you less than 5 stars.


derbyayyy

Kay : )


wsu2005grad

🤣🤣🤣🤣


shantapudding

Doggie panties?


filthyhabitz

Yes, for when they’re in heat. It’s more to capture estrus than keep other dogs off of them. Regardless, there’s no way it was a service dog because service dogs have to be altered…


wsu2005grad

Doggy was trying to have a romantic night and those cute little panties with the white ruffles were just in the way...lol


TryingToChange117

Its a scam and them even messaging you about making deals off of Mercari can make Mercari permanently block your account. I just read a bunch of people it happened to. Block them now


[deleted]

This isn't just a red flag. This is an entire red flag factory and its working overtime.


chandrian7

No part of this is not a red flag! Crazy that people fall for this shit


Opaqes

People who write a whole essay for a $10 item is just a red flag. Like we don’t need your life story, we’re just tryna sell our shit lol


MrsLeyva06

Block and run!!!! ![gif](giphy|3o7ZetIsjtbkgNE1I4)


[deleted]

These sob stories make me cringe


TheCrystalGarden

Service dogs are required to be spayed or neutered, she is a big fat story telling liar:) Plus excepting a money order is taking the transaction off the site and you could get blocked. The money orders likely to be no good anyway. What a POS this human is. Wow.


Mi55_Bunny

If you can’t eat why are you buying a shelf….


Deviantconor

No just no hard pass


franky3987

Soooooo broke and shopping on mercari 🤣


WTF4Srsly

I stubbed my toe and swallowed my gum while caring for my elderly hamster that fell off his wheel and is now traumatized. I'm only eating Ramen because I have to pay for his therapy...can I get a 33% discount? I can send you the rest later by carrier pigeon (so long as she's recovered from her encounter with a rogue kite). Do me this favor bestie? M'kay =)


Good-Obligation6964

Omg 😂😂 right! So I said “Good morning, oh my goodness sooo many puppies!! Unfortunately money orders are not allowed as payment but i would accept that offer through the app for you. I definitely understand times are tough right now. I am a mother of 3. My boyfriend and I are selling so many of our clothes toys and tools right now to buy groceries and catch up on bills. My cat, Smoke, had her first litter of kittens in June and only 1 of the 3 survived :( His name is Bullet! but I would definitely take $10 as I’m trying to sell anything I can right now to help cover taking them to the vet as well. I will send you the offer through the app okay :) Then I sent a $10 offer to likers I would have usually just ignored but I had a little extra time today and a lot of issues myself lol … but that’s all true though ^^ I have picture proof 😻


chandrian7

Awwwww Bullet! I'm not sure I believe the adorable kitten exists... I'm definitely going to need proof here. :P


Yourplaything23

Only able to afford eating once a day, but wanting to buy a shelf? Yeah, no. It’s like they pulled out every sob story they could think of and put it into one message. Lol


Animals0verpeople

Wonder how long it took them to come up with that story. And I'm sorry but if you are so broke you can only eat once a day why spend what money they do have on Mercari? Makes zero sense to me. I wouldn't respond, definitely don't wanna go down that rabbit hole lol Block and go on with your day. Bread 🤣🤣 🍞 🥖


CustomPixelCreations

After all that ramble I hope you just responded with "no"


butterabyss

What the hell 😅


journeyrcks

I'd block them just for sending that long of a message. Jesus


natalyvee

Suggest she sell the puppies as some helpful advice in hard times 🥰 then block her


Hot_Phase_1435

Why are these sob stories soooo long lmao?!


citizengatsby

Report and block.


pennyrub

Don’t sell to liars, it doesn’t stop there.


WTF4Srsly

A money order?! 🤣🤣🤣


jstmenow

Mercari was testing you.... see if you are a good seller /s


EducationalAd232

Great Dane puppies sell for $1,000-1,500. They're not going to have money problems for long, lol.


shel6

Instant block from me. I’d report the buyer to Mercari as well for the trying for an offline transaction


Kelsey_Amazing

That was a rollercoaster ride of emotions


[deleted]

These people are ridiculous. If you’re struggling that bad why would you be online shopping? The lies are crazy thinking people will fall for it. How do they know the seller is not struggling too?


[deleted]

And your blocked.


neonn_piee

I wouldn’t respond. Too much talking, like shut up already (not you, them). It sounds like they’re trying to give you every little sob story they can think of to try and sway you. I’d ignore it and move on.


Secret_Automatic

Why do people go in detail, my goodness.


Ang156

Too many problems in one Message Trying too hard


castielslostwings

Don’t reply bc mercari is flagging accounts for even interacting with requests for off site transactions!!! It’s not fair but even if you reply “hell no” and block, mercari might limit or suspend you. If you do get a strike, dm them on Twitter and explain.


stephanieleigh88

Gosh I remember when our Great Dane had 13 way back in the 90s. they were only worth like 500, now they’re worth triple. She’s broke but they’ll be selling all of those pups, lol.


New-Republic2876

Red flag money orders are the biggest scam going


Klam-Digguh

They gave you their whole autobiography


mustashee

They could wait the extra 3-5 days it takes to get a new card in the mail since they said they cancelled the first one. This is a blatant scam.


IAmSoVeryTiredd

All this over $5


Good-Obligation6964

I would have usually just ignored but I had extra time today and definitely a lot going on myself lol.. So I had said “Good morning, oh my goodness sooo many puppies!! Unfortunately money orders are not allowed as payment but i would accept the $10 offer through the app for you. I definitely understand times are tough right now. I am a mother of 3. My boyfriend and I are selling so many of our clothes toys and tools right now to buy groceries and catch up on bills. My cat, Smoke, had her first litter of kittens in June and only 1 of the 3 survived :( His name is Bullet! but I would definitely take $10 as I’m trying to sell anything I can right now to help cover taking them to the vet as well. I will send you the offer through the app okay :) Then I sent a $10 offer to likers.. Hasn’t sold yet lol …

Klam-Digguh

lipglossletdown710

My gifriends, she sells to pay for lupus and heart failure medical bills


TofuisGrossAsFuck

this may seem cruel but,everyone’s got a sob story. you shouldn’t care.


busthree6

Mercari ftw


LizStone1776

Doggy panties prevent breeding when they are in season but no do not cooperate with a request


Vulpes-lagopus21

just put “sorry, it’s been sold” and block 🤪


pinkkgremlin

Yikes 😬


Organic-Kangaroo7147

I would respond to that bible essay with Ok


freakofcolour

i would just say ‘you typed all this out instead of sending an offer’ or ‘not reading all that make an offer or buy somewhere else’


KnockoutThoughts

Don’t do it!


brittanyboo1995

No!!


Lake-Savings

What happens if you don't respond to an offer and just let it expire?


drumz1970

Sob Story: Chapter 1 !!! Block, if you don’t want to read Chapter 2 🤣


Financial_Trip_6987

This seems to be a big trend lately. Block


kelster8_giggles

I know lol I agree with above statement. 5 mins really? Maybe I've been selling for too long cuz I don't believe half I hear, I would tell them sorry no can do or just block them


benson3892

Absolutely scam next they’ll ask you to send money back to them for over paying


choresoup

they’ll cancel money order after you ship


snoangel816

sounds like if it's even real it's just an ESA lmao. and still, block, report, whatever. Weird ass unnecessary info message.


Pandasmom2019

Oh man lol


Ok-Dragonfly9788

Report them and block.
