Key fees to know
1. Listing Fee
Every time you list a product on Etsy, you pay a fixed listing fee of $0.20 USD per item. This fee applies whether the item sells or not. If you list multiple quantities of one item, Etsy charges $0.20 for each sold unit when it renews automatically.
2. Transaction Fee
Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price, plus shipping and any gift wrapping costs. This is deducted automatically when a sale occurs. For example, if your item sells for $40 with $5 shipping, the total transaction fee would be $2.93 (6.5% of $45).
3. Payment Processing Fee
When Etsy processes your payment through Etsy Payments, it takes a small percentage plus a fixed amount per transaction. These vary by country.
For example, in the United States, the payment processing fee is 3% + $0.25. In Australia, it’s 4% + A$0.25. Check Etsy’s Payments policy for your region to confirm your exact rate.
4. Offsite Ads Fee (Optional)
If Etsy promotes your listing through offsite ads and the buyer purchases through that ad, you pay an additional 12%–15% fee depending on your annual sales volume. This only applies when an ad directly leads to the sale.
5. Etsy Ads Spend (Optional)
If you run paid ads within Etsy, that ad spend affects your net profit. Many sellers include their average daily ad cost in their profit calculations to see the full picture.
