Mercari has always been a place where I went to find deals. Starting this past March I noticed they added a service fee to every purchase ( a percentage of the sale price). This new service fee plus the shipping is making what it used to be a good deal seem not soo good anymore. This service fees just mean people will try to compensate by making lower offers to offset the extra costs. This new direction I feel will only hurt the buyers and sellers alike. I know they are a business but c'mon the percentage gets pretty high on higher priced item. I have not shopped on eBay in a long time but I may have to re-visit it as mercari is pricing me out of some deals with their fees.
