What goes in each box?
Not sure what to type? Use this guide. If you do not have a number yet, use the example value and change it later.
| Box | What it means | Where to find it | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item price | The price of the item on your listing, before shipping. | Your Mercari listing, or the sale notification. | $30 |
| Item cost | What you paid to get the item, plus anything you spent fixing or cleaning it. | Your receipt or bank statement. Enter 0 if it was free or from your own closet. | $8 |
| Shipping charged to buyer | The shipping amount the buyer pays you. 0 means you offered free shipping. Mercari’s 10% fee also applies to this amount. | The shipping option you chose when listing, and the order details of the sale. | $0 or $10 |
| Your actual shipping cost | What you really pay to send the parcel. | The shipping label price. Mercari lists its prepaid label rates by weight on its Fees page. If the buyer pays the exact label price, type the same number here and in the box above. | $8 |
| Instant Pay | Tick only if you cash out with Instant Pay, which costs $3 per cash-out. Direct Deposit is $0. | You choose it when you withdraw your balance. | Unticked |
How to check you entered the right numbers
Check the result against a real sale. After a sale, look at the sale details and your balance in the Mercari app, and compare the fee with the “Selling fee” line in the calculator. Mercari also offers a Gross Sales Report; see Mercari Help. If the numbers match, your inputs are right.

- The page does not say whether sales tax is part of the 10% selling fee base. It lists the base as item price plus buyer-paid shipping only.
- Shipping label prices change over time (the page lists new rates effective 10/19/2026); this calculator asks you to enter your own shipping cost.
How Mercari fees work in practice
Mercari is simpler than most marketplaces. Since January 6, 2025, a seller pays one fee on new and updated listings: 10% of the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. There is no separate payment processing fee on top. Listing is free, and you only pay when something sells.
The part people miss is the shipping line. If you charge the buyer $10 for shipping on a $50 item, the 10% fee is worked out on $60, not $50. That is $6.00 instead of $5.00. It is not a big difference on one sale, but it adds up if you sell often and pass shipping costs to buyers. Offering free shipping removes shipping from the fee base, though you still pay the carrier yourself.
Buyers pay their own 3.6% Buyer Protection fee on item price plus shipping. That fee is not taken from you, but it makes your listing a little more expensive at checkout. If you are competing against a similar item on another site, keep it in mind when you price.
Getting your money is free if you wait. Direct Deposit to your bank costs $0. Instant Pay costs a flat $3.00 per cash-out and has a $600 monthly limit, so it only makes sense when you need the cash now. The calculator lets you toggle it so you can see its effect on a small sale.
Your real profit also depends on things Mercari does not charge you for: what you paid for the item, packaging, and the label. Mercari prepaid shipping labels use fixed rates that change, so enter your own number rather than trusting an old price. Finally, shipping with the wrong packaging, or sending prohibited items by Media Mail, can lead to extra charges deducted from your balance, so follow the label rules.
Three worked examples
1. A $30 item with free shipping
You list at $30.00 and pay $8.00 to ship it. The fee is 10% of $30.00, or $3.00. You keep $19.00, before subtracting what you paid for the item.
2. A $50 item where the buyer pays $10 shipping
The fee base is $60.00, so the fee is $6.00. Shipping costs you $10.00, which the buyer’s payment covers. You keep $44.00, before item cost. Compared with free shipping at the same price, the fee is $1.00 higher.
3. A $20 item with Instant Pay
Item $20.00, buyer pays $6.00 shipping that costs you $6.00. The fee is $2.60. If you cash out that sale on its own with Instant Pay, another $3.00 goes. You keep $14.40, before item cost. On a small sale the Instant Pay fee takes a visible bite, so batching cash-outs by Direct Deposit is cheaper.
Questions sellers ask
What is the Mercari selling fee?
Mercari charges sellers 10% of the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. It is only charged when an item sells. Listing is free.
Is there a payment processing fee for sellers?
Not a separate one. Mercari’s help page says no separate payment processing fee applies on listings created or updated on or after January 6, 2025.
Does the 10% fee apply to shipping?
Yes, to shipping the buyer pays. Mercari lists the fee base as the item price plus buyer-paid shipping. If you offer free shipping, there is no buyer-paid shipping to add, but you pay the carrier out of your own proceeds.
Does the buyer’s 3.6% fee come out of my money?
No. The 3.6% Buyer Protection fee is charged to the buyer on top of the price. It does not reduce what you receive, but it does make your item cost the buyer more at checkout.
What does it cost to cash out?
Direct Deposit to your bank is $0, and a $2 fee applies to a failed deposit. Instant Pay costs $3 per cash-out and works for up to $600 a month.
Is there a fee for cancelling a sale?
Only if you cancel often. Mercari says it may charge 5% of the item price, up to $25, for frequent cancelations. You get warnings before a fee is charged.
