Before0%Now10%

From 6 January 2025 Mercari charges sellers a 10% selling fee on the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. Before that, sellers paid no selling fee and buyers paid a 10% buyer fee plus payment processing of 2.9% + $0.50.

Buyers now pay a 3.6% Buyer Protection fee instead, the payment processing fee was removed, and cashing out by direct deposit became free (it used to cost $2). Instant Pay still costs $3.
