A Mercari seller inbox built around the rating-to-payout clock

Your payout waits on the buyer's rating — so a message you leave sitting isn't just a missed reply, it's a delay on cash you've already earned.

The real cost of a slow reply on Mercari

On Mercari, your money doesn't move until the buyer rates the order. That means a buyer question you leave sitting — about a bundle, a measurement, whether the item shipped — isn't just a missed reply. It's a delay on cash you've already earned, sitting behind a rating you're waiting on a stranger to give you.

A buyer who's confused or annoyed is a buyer who's slow to rate — or worse, rates you down for something a quick answer would have fixed. Resellers running Mercari alongside several other marketplaces are the ones most likely to lose a message in the noise, simply because Mercari isn't the only app competing for their attention that day.

Closetline surfaces every Mercari message in a queue sorted by what needs you next, with an overdue timer so a bundle question that's been sitting for six hours doesn't quietly turn into a nine-hour one. It's the same queue your eBay, Poshmark, and Depop messages sit in — so Mercari doesn't lose out just because it's not the tab you happened to have open.

AI-drafted replies, your tone, your send button

Every message gets a drafted reply ready to go — answer a bundle request or a shipping question in one read instead of typing from a blank box. Pick Friendly, Brief, Firm, or Professional depending on the buyer and the moment.

Buyer and item context, right where you need it

Every open thread shows the item photo, the buyer's rating, and how many past orders they've placed with you — useful context for deciding how much room to give on a bundle discount or how quickly a question needs a real answer versus a quick confirmation.

Built for sellers running more than one marketplace

Most tools built around Mercari are either sourcing and pricing apps or crosslisters that treat the inbox as an afterthought. Closetline treats it as the whole point — one place to see every buyer waiting on you, across Mercari and everywhere else you sell, so the rating-to-payout clock never runs longer than it has to.

Stop letting a missed Mercari message hold up money you've already earned — see how Closetline keeps you ahead of it.
