Mercari fee questions
How much does Mercari charge when my item sells?
A flat 10% selling fee on the item price plus any buyer-paid shipping. Listing is free, and there is no separate payment processing fee.
Does Mercari charge fees on shipping?
Yes — if the buyer pays for shipping, the 10% selling fee applies to the item price plus that shipping charge. If you offer free shipping, the fee applies to the item price only (and you pay the label cost).
Does Mercari still have zero selling fees?
No. The zero-seller-fee structure ran from March 2024 through early January 2025. Since January 6, 2025, sellers pay a flat 10% selling fee again.
What do I pay on a $50 sale on Mercari?
A $5 selling fee (10% of $50), leaving $45 before any shipping label you cover. If the buyer also paid $8 shipping, the fee is 10% of $58, or $5.80.
Is there a payment processing fee on Mercari?
No. Mercari eliminated payment processing fees on January 6, 2025. The old 2.9% + $0.50 fee only applied to legacy listings during the transition.
Does it cost anything to withdraw my Mercari balance?
Standard ACH direct deposit is free (a $2 fee applies only if the transfer is rejected). Instant Pay to a debit card costs a flat $3 per cash-out, up to $600 per month.
Worth knowing before you list
- Mercari's 10% selling fee applies to the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays — but not to sales tax.
- Buyers pay a separate 3.6% Buyer Protection fee at checkout. It doesn't come out of your payout, but it raises the total your buyer sees — worth remembering when pricing competitively.
- Mercari changed fees twice recently: zero seller fees from March 2024, then back to a flat 10% on January 6, 2025 — most blog posts you'll find show outdated numbers.
- There are no listing fees, no monthly fees, and no per-order flat fee.
- ACH direct deposit is free (a $2 fee applies only to rejected transfers); Instant Pay to a debit card costs $3 per cash-out, up to $600/month.
- Frequent seller cancellations can trigger a fee of 5% of the item price, capped at $25.
