Mercari fees in 2026
Mercari charges a 10% selling fee on the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. There is no separate payment processing fee on listings created or updated since January 6, 2025.
If the buyer pays shipping, it is added to the fee base and the label is paid from it. If you offer free shipping, the label cost comes out of your earnings instead.
Other Mercari charges
Cashing out by direct deposit is free. Instant Pay costs $3 per cash-out. Sellers who cancel orders often can be charged 5% of the item price, up to $25. Buyers pay their own protection fee, which does not come out of your earnings.
The formulas behind it
Every result cell is a plain spreadsheet formula, so you can check the math or rebuild it yourself.
| Cell | Result | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| B9 | Selling fee | =(B2+B3)*10% |
| B10 | Your earnings | =B2+B3-B9-B4-B6 |
| B11 | Your profit | =B10-B5 |
| B12 | Profit margin | =B11/B2 |
