Mercari Fee Calculator

How Mercari's selling fee and processing fee combine

Mercari charges a flat 10% selling fee on the total sale (item price plus any shipping you charge the buyer), plus a separate payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30, deducted when the funds are released to your Mercari balance. Together that's roughly 13% of a typical sale, similar in total to eBay's bundled rate but broken into two visible line items instead of one.

If you use Mercari's prepaid shipping label deducted from your payout rather than charging the buyer separately, your 'sale price' for fee purposes is generally the item price you listed at -- always double check the breakdown Mercari shows before confirming a shipment, since label cost is deducted separately from these percentage fees.

Mercari periodically runs promotional fee reductions for certain categories or new sellers; the 10%/2.9%+$0.30 figures here are the standard published rates and are a safe default when no promotion applies.

Where these numbers come from

The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:

• Mercari seller fee schedule as publicly published for 2025-2026: 10% selling fee on the total transaction
• 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee, both deducted before payout. Note: Mercari has changed this structure in past years (formerly 10-12.9% selling fee with bundled processing), so confirm the current rate on Mercari's fee page

Platform fee schedules change. These are planning estimates based on the most recently published rates -- always confirm the current fee schedule on the platform itself before relying on the exact number for a real payout.
