Mercari announced the elimination of selling fees as part of an all-new business model. At a time when other marketplaces are raising fees for sellers, Mercari is doing just the opposite by becoming the first and only major U.S. resale marketplace to offer zero selling fees. This new model will be applied to all new listings starting and will roll out sitewide in the coming weeks.

In addition to zero selling fees, Mercari is simplifying the buying experience with an all-new returns policy. As part of this policy shift, buyers will be charged a service fee allowing for hassle-free returns. For the first time ever, Mercari shoppers can now initiate a return within three days for any reason with the assurance of a refund, less applicable fees.

This new policy applies to all items across the platform including games and toys, collectibles, trading cards, rare vintage finds, fashion, home goods, beauty, and even authenticated luxury goods. This new fee structure is the first of its kind in the U.S. online resale category and makes Mercari the only major marketplace to offer no listing and no selling fees, in addition to the nationwide shipping discounts the company already offers.
