Mercari simplified its fee structure effective January 6, 2025. There is now a single 10% seller fee applied to the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. The previously separate payment processing fee has been eliminated.
For example: a $30 item where the buyer pays $5 shipping — the fee base is $35, and the Mercari fee is $3.50. Your payout is $30 − $3.50 = $26.50. (The $5 shipping goes directly to cover the carrier cost, not to your payout.)
