As of March 27th of this year Mercari is the first ever and only online retail platform that has completely eliminated its selling fees. That means that as a seller you earn 100% of the profit from selling your items thru Mercari.
Year after year most online marketplaces raise their selling fees, shipping fees or overall cost to use their platforms to sell your merchandise. But Mercari is doing it differently and I think they are on the right track.
Not only will this increase more people to come to the already popular platform but it shows that Mercari cares about their sellers and buyers alike.
Reducing the selling fees allows for sellers to negotiate with buyers while still making a profit. This is a game changer for anyone who uses the retail market platform to sell new or pre-owned items.
If you aren’t already using Mercari then you should definitely sign up today, its free.
