## Frequently asked questions
### What is Mercari's selling fee in 2026?

A flat 10% of the completed item price plus buyer-paid shipping, charged only when the item sells. There is no listing fee and no separate payment processing fee for sellers.

### Does Mercari charge sellers a payment processing fee?

No. Since January 6, 2025, Mercari removed the old 2.9% + $0.50 processing fee for sellers. Buyers now pay a 3.6% Buyer Protection fee instead.

### How much does Mercari take on a $100 sale?

### What is the 3.6% Buyer Protection fee?

Paid by buyers at checkout on the item price plus buyer-paid shipping. It covers the cancellation and refund policy, returns on eligible items and support. It does not come out of your payout.

### Is Mercari cheaper than eBay for sellers?

Usually, yes. Mercari's flat 10% beats eBay's 13.6% final value fee on most categories, though eBay reaches a bigger buyer pool for collectibles and high-value items.

About $555.56 with no buyer-paid shipping: $500 divided by 0.9. The calculator's reverse mode does this for any target and shipping amount.
