[Mercari](https://resellerindex.com/changes/mercari/) Postage Effective Jan 20, 2026 · announced Jan 15, 2026 From January 20, 2026, Mercari raised its Standard-rate prepaid labels, the prices for packages that don't qualify for its Best rates (1 cu ft and 22 in. or smaller, with dimensions entered), for new and updated listings; existing listings with buyer- or seller-paid shipping updated automatically from February 16. Best-rate labels did not change. Mercari said carriers' retail rates rose 11.9% on average and its own label rates overall about 4.7%. From February 16 to April 16, 2026 it also offered $4.99 UPS and FedEx labels for 1-5 lb packages and 49¢ First-Class Envelopes for trading cards and paper collectibles up to 3 oz. Mercari later extended the 49¢ envelope rate through January 4, 2027. Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a Mercari gave only the overall average (about 4.7%), not the old and new Standard prices side by side, so the change per label can't be calculated from its pages. Best-rate labels: no change.

Before an update goes live, scripts check every page against our data files for the key postage prices, platform fees and dates we track, and check quotes on our USPS pages and most fee and reference pages against saved copies of their sources (our tax and law pages aren't covered yet). A full-time reseller owns and runs the site. No page is marked as read and checked by the owner yet; when one is, it will say so, with the date. Our pages link the official sources they use, or the pages that do, and show when we checked them. Spot an error?
