What changes the number on Mercari
- The 10% applies to listings created or updated on or after January 6, 2025.
- Mercari used to charge 2.9% + $0.50 for payment processing. That ended on January 6, 2025; older guides and some calculators still show it.
- The fee includes the shipping the buyer pays, so charging for shipping raises it. Put the shipping charge in Shipping charged and your label in Label cost.
- Mercari changes its fees more often than the other four. Check the official page before you rely on a number; every rate here carries the date it was last checked.
This page uses Mercari's US rates. Fees for cashing out your balance are not part of the sale and are not included.

Questions about Mercari fees
Does Mercari still charge a payment processing fee?
No. The separate processing fee ended on January 6, 2025. The 10% selling fee is the only percentage now.
Does Mercari take a fee on shipping?
Yes. The 10% is taken from the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
What about promoting a listing on Mercari?
The ads rate starts at 0. If you pay for a promotion, type its rate under "Promoting any listings?".
Does Mercari take a bigger share of a cheap sale?
No. With no fixed fee per order, Mercari takes the same 10% of a cheap sale as of an expensive one. Marketplaces that add a fixed amount per order take a larger share of a cheap item; the table above shows Mercari's share at four prices.
Does Mercari charge to list an item?
No. Listing is free; the selling fee comes off only when the item sells.
Does Mercari charge to cash out?
The sale itself pays only the selling fee. Moving your balance to your bank with Instant Pay has its own fee, which is not part of the sale, so this page leaves it out. Check Mercari's help center for the current amount.
Why do my numbers differ slightly from the platform's own dashboard?
Timing differences, rounding, sales tax handling (tax is info-only here and never enters the fee math, while some platforms include it in their fee base), and ads or promo fees you didn't enter. Each fee row's Verified date and Source URL show exactly what was checked and when.
