How Mercari fees work in 2026

Since January 6, 2025, Mercari charges sellers a flat 10% on the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays, with no separate payment processing fee. Buyers pay their own 3.6% Buyer Protection fee, which doesn't come out of your earnings.

Listings created before January 6, 2025 that you haven't edited since may still be on Mercari's older model. Editing a listing moves it to the current fees.
