Commission applies to the item price only, so shipping the buyer paid passes through untouched by the selling fee. A selling fee plus separate payment processing. Mercari's fee model has changed direction more than once — including a period with no seller fee at all — so confirm the current structure before pricing against it.
How the Mercari Fee Calculator works
Mercari splits its cost into a selling fee and a payment processing charge, which makes the total higher than the headline suggests. Its fee model has also reversed direction more than once, including a period with no seller fee at all — so check what your account actually shows.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Mercari take?
A selling fee as a percentage of the item price, plus payment processing of roughly 2.9% and a small fixed fee. Both come out of your payout.
Has the fee structure changed?
Yes, more than once — including a spell with no seller fee where costs were shifted to buyers. That is unusual volatility even by marketplace standards, so verify before pricing.
Is the fee charged on shipping?
The selling fee applies to the item price. Payment processing applies to the full amount the buyer paid, including shipping, because the processor handles the whole transaction.
What about Mercari's shipping labels?
Discounted prepaid labels are available and usually beat retail rates. Whether you or the buyer pays is your choice at listing, and it materially affects both conversion and margin.
