Price the listing before it goes live
Use the exact marketplace, category, shipping setup, and cost of goods you expect to list with. That gives you a real payout baseline instead of a fee estimate from memory.
Use the real sale assumptions you would list with, not the ideal version you hope the buyer accepts.
What the official source says
- - The chart is calculated from Mercari Help fee rules.
- - Rows use a consistent $8 shipping assumption to show the fee-base effect.
