For sellers

How do my listings qualify?
A listing can qualify if it is (a) a new listing created during the Promotional Period, or (b) an existing listing that you update and save during the Promotional Period, and the shipment uses an eligible Mercari prepaid label.
How do I get the $4.99 promotional rate for 1–5 lb shipments?
To unlock the promotional rate, confirm your item ships in a package that is 1 cu ft or less and 22″ longest side or smaller during the shipping selection process. When prompted, select “Yes” to confirm your package is smaller than a standard shoebox. If you select “No,” you’ll be asked to enter package dimensions. The promotional rate will apply automatically if your package is 1 cu ft or less and its longest side is 22″ or less.
How do I get the $0.49 promotional rate for First-Class envelopes?
When listing, select an eligible trading cards or paper collectibles category. When an eligible category is selected, First-Class envelope prepaid label options will appear during shipping selection. Promotional pricing applies only when an eligible envelope label is selected and the shipment meets the service requirements. See First-Class envelope requirements here: https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/topics/shipping/guides/first-class-envelope/ .
What counts as an “updated” listing?
An updated listing is a listing created before the promo that is edited and saved during the Promotional Period, so it qualifies under the Promotion’s Terms.
Does it work for buyer-paid and seller-paid shipping?
Yes, where eligible labels are available. The promotional rate may apply to both buyer-paid and seller-paid shipping depending on your shipping configuration and the label selected.
What if my package is over 5 lb or too large?
If the shipment falls outside the specified weight or size limits (for example, over 5 lb or exceeding 1 cu ft / 22″ longest side for the UPS/FedEx offer), the standard Mercari prepaid label rate will apply.
Why should I always measure and weigh?
Accurate weight and dimensions help avoid carrier adjustment charges for underpaid shipping, including dimensional weight fees. Sellers are responsible for proper packaging and entering accurate shipping details. Learn more about dimensional weight here: https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/article/172/ .

For buyers

Found an item without the discount?
Ask the seller to update and save their listing during the promo window. If the listing and shipment meet the requirements, it may qualify for promo shipping label rates.
Why doesn’t every listing have promotional shipping rates?
Promotional rates apply only to listings and shipments that meet the size and service requirements. If a listing or shipment doesn’t meet the requirements, the non-promotional Mercari prepaid label rate will apply.
Do prepaid label protections still apply?
Yes. Standard Mercari prepaid label terms, including any applicable Shipping Protection, continue to apply. Coverage and claims follow Mercari policies in effect at the time of shipment. Learn more: https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/article/52/ .
Do the promotional rates apply to bundled transactions?
Yes, as long as the shipping label used in a bundled transaction meets the size and service requirements, the promotional rates will apply. If the label used in shipping is outside of the size and service requirements, the non-promotional Mercari prepaid label rate will apply.

Terms

Promotional Shipping Rate Full Terms & Conditions

These Promotional Shipping Rate Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern Mercari’s limited-time promotional shipping rates (the “Promotion”). By participating in the Promotion, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as Mercari’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and all other applicable Mercari policies.

The Promotion is valid from February 16, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time through April 16, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (the “Promotional Period”). During the Promotional Period, eligible Mercari users may receive discounted promotional shipping rates on qualifying listings that use Mercari prepaid shipping labels, as described below. The Promotion is available only on the Mercari U.S. marketplace and is void where prohibited. If a listing that is eligible for the Promotion has been sold prior to the end of the Promotional Period, the listing will still be eligible for the promotional shipping rate even if shipped after the end of the Promotional Period.

Eligibility

To qualify for the Promotion, a listing must be either (a) a new listing created on Mercari during the Promotional Period, or (b) a listing created prior to the Promotional Period that is updated and saved during the Promotional Period (including, where applicable, being duplicated or relisted) such that it qualifies under these Terms (each, a “Qualifying Listing”). All listings must comply with Mercari’s Terms of Service, Prohibited Items Policy, Shipping Policy, and any other applicable rules or guidelines. Mercari reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a listing meets the eligibility requirements for the Promotion.

$4.99 UPS/FedEx Promotional Rate

During the Promotional Period, Qualifying Listings that use a Mercari UPS or FedEx prepaid shipping label in the 1–5 lb weight classes for shipments 1 cu ft / 22″ longest side or smaller may receive a $4.99 promotional shipping rate per label. This promotional rate applies only to the specified 1–5 lb weight classes and only where UPS or FedEx prepaid labels are available as a shipping option on Mercari. Where available, the $4.99 rate may apply to both buyer-paid and seller-paid shipping, subject to Mercari’s standard shipping options and configuration at the time of listing and shipment.

USPS First-Class Envelope Promotional Rate

Also during the Promotional Period, Qualifying Listings that use an eligible First-Class envelope via a Mercari First-Class envelope prepaid label for trading cards and paper collectibles up to 3 oz may receive a $0.49 promotional shipping rate per label. This promotional rate applies only to shipments that meet the applicable weight, format, and service requirements for eligible First-Class envelopes and is available only where such labels are offered as a shipping option on Mercari.

How the Promotion is applied

Promotional shipping rates are applied automatically at the time a qualifying Mercari prepaid label is purchased for an eligible transaction during the Promotional Period. No promo code, enrollment, or separate activation is required. If a listing, shipment, or label does not meet all eligibility requirements set forth in these Terms, standard Mercari prepaid label rates will apply.

End of Promotion

After April 16, 2026, the promotional rates described in these Terms will no longer be available. Any UPS, FedEx, and eligible USPS First-Class envelope shipments will be charged at the then-current standard Mercari prepaid label rates.

Exclusions and limitations

The Promotion does not apply to local delivery or meet-up transactions, to carriers other than UPS, FedEx, or USPS, or to shipments that fall outside the specified weight, size, or service limits (for example, shipments over 5 lb for the UPS/FedEx promotional offer, or shipments over 3 oz or not sent in an eligible envelope for the First-Class envelope offer). Unless expressly stated otherwise by Mercari, the Promotion may not be combined with any other shipping discounts, promotions, or coupon offers. The Promotion is non-transferable, has no cash value, and may not be sold, exchanged, or refunded, except as required by law. If an order is canceled or refunded, any promotional shipping rate used for that shipment will not be returned as cash or credit beyond any applicable refund rules for labels under Mercari’s standard policies.

Other shipping terms apply

Standard Mercari prepaid label terms, including any applicable Shipping Protection, continue to apply to all shipments made under the Promotion. Coverage limits, claims procedures, and related conditions are governed by Mercari’s existing policies in effect at the time of shipment. Users remain responsible for proper packaging, accurate weight and dimension entry, and compliance with carrier requirements and may incur additional fees.

Abuse, modification, and cancellation

Mercari reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deny, revoke, or reverse the benefit of any promotional shipping rate in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, or misuse of the Promotion, or in the event of any violation of Mercari’s Terms of Service or other policies. Mercari may modify, suspend, or cancel the Promotion, or update these Terms, at any time and in its sole discretion, where permitted by law. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other communication or description of the Promotion, these Terms will govern with respect to the Promotion.

By participating in the Promotion, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and to all other terms, policies, and guidelines referenced herein.
