Questions
How much does Mercari take from a sale?
10% of the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. No separate payment processing fee. Example: on a $50 item with $8 buyer-paid shipping and no sales tax, Mercari keeps about $5.80 and you receive $52.20.
Does Mercari charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The fee is worked out on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
What is the most I should pay for an item to resell on Mercari?
Work backwards from the sale price: payout after fees, minus your shipping label, packaging and other costs, minus the profit you want. The calculator above shows this as the max buy price. Pay more than that and the flip misses your target.
