Americans Experiencing Financial Stress During the Holidays


PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans experience more financial stress during the holiday season, according to Experian data:  in fact, more than half (56 percent) say they overspend on gifts and nearly a third (31 percent) say they've gone into debt.

One way people are getting ahead of holiday expenses is by turning things they no longer use into cash with selling apps like Mercari. An average seller on Mercari made an extra $114 per month in 2018, and every day more than 100,000 new listings go up on Mercari.

Mercari is the selling app. We make it super easy to sell (or buy) almost anything. We all have things we don't use, never used or simply outgrew. But that stuff still has value.

Our mission is simple: to make selling easier than buying. And with more than 40 million downloads in the U.S. and 100,000 new listings every day, we're just getting started.
