At a glance
Net Revenue (after fees) is what you keep once Mercari’s selling fee and payment processing are stripped out. It is the honest top line for a reseller, the figure before shipping and what the item cost you.
Calculation
Vortex IQ takes gross sales recorded over the trailing 30 days and subtracts Mercari’s standard 10% selling fee plus the per-order payment processing charge of 2.9% plus $0.50. The result is summed across all completed orders in the window and compared against the equivalent prior 30-day period to produce the versus-previous movement. Shipping costs and your cost of goods are not deducted here, since those sit outside Mercari’s reported fees; this card isolates revenue net of marketplace charges only.Worked example
A representative reading of Net Revenue (after fees) for a typical Mercari reseller. Picture a reseller who grossed about 400, and payment processing at 2.9% plus 116 plus 3,444. If last period netted 0.50 bites harder. Cross-referencemer_total_revenue to separate volume from fees, mer_fee_total to see the fee load, and mer_aov to check pricing. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, and Ask Viq answers plain-English questions like “why did my net revenue fall versus last month?”

Reconciling against Mercari
Where to look in Mercari’s own dashboard: In the Mercari seller app, your sales and balance history list each order with its selling fee and processing fee broken out, and your payout balance reflects the net. Summing those net amounts over the period should land close to this card. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:
Cross-connector reconciliation: If you reconcile against an external bookkeeping tool, confirm it applies the same 10% plus 2.9% plus $0.50 fee structure before comparing. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.
