Mercari US seller fees
Since January 6, 2025, Mercari charges US sellers a 10% selling fee when an item sells. For most prepaid-label listings the fee is 10% of the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays at checkout. If you offer free shipping, the fee is 10% of the item price only; Mercari deducts the label from your earnings separately.
- Buyer-paid shipping in the fee base: 10% × (item price + buyer-paid shipping).
- Free shipping: 10% × item price; label cost is not in this fee line.
- Buyer Protection (3.6% on item + buyer shipping) is paid by the buyer, not modeled here.

Why shipping changes your Mercari fee
On $25.00, using US listing (current fee structure), the fee is $2.50 and you keep $22.50. The effective rate is 10.00%. On $500.00 the fee is $50.00, you keep $450.00, and the effective rate is 10.00%. The percentage scales with the amount. The fixed fee does not, so it takes a larger share of a small payment.
A $50 item with no shipping in the fee base costs $5.00 and you keep $45.00. Add $7.99 buyer-paid shipping with the toggle on and the fee becomes $5.80 on a $57.99 base—you keep $52.19 before any label you pay yourself.
