What MediaMarkt Marketplace is
MediaMarktSaturn runs the seller site, with guides for registration and shop set-up, product creation, offer creation, and order and shop management2. Its seller FAQ presents the marketplace as a platform for growth in consumer electronics1. Mirakl’s 2023 seller report lists MediaMarkt among its customers6.
The undated German seller page claims more than 21 million potential customers and more than 65 million unique visits a month5. It also claims two of the top 10 online shops in Germany, and its seller testimonials go back to September 20205.
The Swiss marketplace adds office, household, gaming, smart home, telecoms and software to electronics, and its launch announcement said refurbished offers were planned4. The Swiss seller page cites more than 2 million unique visits a month7.
Who can sell on MediaMarkt Marketplace
The seller site lists these requirements2:
- a registered legal entity, a VAT ID and a bank account, all within the EU
- registration with the ZSVR’s LUCID packaging register and with a dual system such as Grüner Punkt or Landbell, in line with local packaging law
- an EAN for every product
- delivery direct to consumers, with returns handled from an EU warehouse
- customer service in the local language, by phone and email
Since 12 August 2026, a seller based abroad with no branch in Germany must also appoint an authorised representative for its German packaging duties, though it still registers in LUCID itself8.
Applications are reviewed: the seller FAQ includes an “approval pending” status (Bewilligung ausstehend)1. MediaMarkt Switzerland told IT Reseller in April 2026 that sellers cannot simply register and start selling3. Each one goes through an application process, quality guidelines and a KYC (know your customer) check3.
If you are based outside the EU. The seller site’s conditions assume an EU business, so a UK or US company needs an EU set-up first2:
MediaMarkt’s Swiss seller page does not say where sellers must be based7, so raise this if you apply in Switzerland.
Fees
MediaMarkt Germany charges a monthly fee of €39 net, and listing products is free5. It describes its commission as fair and transparent but publishes no rates5. You can cancel at any time, without rigid notice periods5.
The seller FAQ has an entry on where to find an overview of commission rates1. Ask MediaMarkt for the rate for each of your categories before you sign.
For Switzerland, IT Reseller reported in April 2026 a monthly base fee of CHF 393. It reported sales commission in the single-digit or low double-digit percent range, depending on category3.
For advertising, the German page links sellers to a retail media site5.
Your MediaMarkt prices come from the same Mirakl margin rules as your other storefronts, with the fee percentage set separately for MediaMarkt.
How to apply
Send the contact form
Apply through the marketplace contact form on mediamarkt.de5, then wait for MediaMarkt’s review.
Go live
MediaMarkt says the whole onboarding takes less than two weeks, with a personal contact to help you5.
In Switzerland, the seller page describes four steps from first registration to go-live in under two weeks7. There too, you verify your bank details with the payment service provider7.
Product data rules
Every product needs an EAN2. MediaMarkt Switzerland also sets minimum product data, such as images, titles and basic information3.
The seller FAQ refers to separate guidelines for refurbished goods, and to seller guidelines and legal requirements by sales country1. The seller site’s requirement list does not mention electrical waste (WEEE) registration2. In Germany, producers register with stiftung ear, which says a foreign company cannot register itself and needs an authorised representative located in Germany9. Check Austria’s and Spain’s rules too before you list electrical goods.
Delivery and returns
You ship orders direct to consumers and handle returns from an EU warehouse2.
MediaMarkt Germany’s 30-day voluntary returns cover only goods bought from MediaMarkt or Saturn, so they do not cover your items5. Buyers accept the individual seller’s terms, and MediaMarkt’s return promotions, including its offer of returns in any German store, exclude third-party purchases5.
Recent changes
MediaMarkt launched its Swiss marketplace in January 2026 with around 20 partners and about 35,000 items3. By April 2026 the Swiss range had passed 60,000 items3.
