How Mercari Seller Fees Work in 2026 (0% Commission Model)
In a monumental shift for online resale marketplaces, Mercari eliminated its traditional 10% seller fee. Today, sellers keep 100% of the sale price with zero direct selling commission.
Who Pays Fees on Mercari Now?
Mercari shifted platform service and payment processing fees directly to the buyer at checkout. When a buyer purchases your item, Mercari adds:
- Service Fee: Variable percentage calculated dynamically based on category and brand demand.
- Payment Processing Fee: 2.9% + $0.50 (paid by the buyer at final checkout).
What Sellers Still Pay on Mercari
While marketplace commission is 0%, sellers should still account for two potential deductions:
- Seller-Paid Shipping: If you offer "Free Shipping" to attract more buyers, the cost of the prepaid shipping label is deducted from your earnings.
- Withdrawal / Direct Deposit Fees: Standard direct deposit to your bank account is free for amounts meeting thresholds, but an instant transfer fee ($3.00) applies if you withdraw funds immediately via debit card.
