Mercari offers broader categories than fashion-focused competitors, accepting electronics, home goods, and more. The 10% selling fee plus payment processing is more competitive than Poshmark, but the platform has strict authenticity policies that can result in listings being removed or accounts suspended.
Mercari takes 10% selling fee plus payment processing fees. While better than Poshmark's 20%, the combined fees still add up on every transaction.
Mercari aggressively removes listings flagged for potential counterfeits, even when items are genuine. False positives can affect account standing.
Buyers have 3 days to rate and can return items during this period. Auto-completion after 3 days protects sellers but window creates uncertainty.
Transferring your earnings to your bank may incur fees depending on method. Instant transfer costs $2, and inactivity fees apply to dormant balances.
10% base fee is lower than Poshmark's 20%, making it more attractive for higher-priced items.
Multiple shipping options including prepaid labels and self-shipping, giving sellers more control over shipping costs.
