Diana’s Patch - Sewing Patterns for Soft Sculpture Dolls, Vintage Dolls and Doll Supplies

Zero fees if you use your Mercari money made from sales to buy something on Mercari. And I did contact Mercari about the new return policy and they said that they rarely get customers asking for a return. Despite showing people the difference and the fact that the new policy ...
