How it's calculated
- Listing fee: $0.20 per listing, charged when you publish and again every time the listing renews after a sale.
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of the total order β item price plus the shipping you charged the buyer plus gift wrap.
- Payment processing (US): 3% of the total plus $0.25 per order.
- Offsite Ads: if the sale came through Etsy's off-site advertising, 15% for shops under $10,000 in annual sales, or 12% for shops at or above $10,000, where participation is mandatory.
- Net profit = order total β all Etsy fees β your cost of goods β your actual shipping cost.
Frequently asked questions
Does Etsy charge its transaction fee on shipping?+
Yes. Since 2018 the 6.5% transaction fee applies to the shipping you charge as well as the item price, so 'free shipping' baked into the price and shipping charged separately cost you roughly the same.
Can I avoid the Offsite Ads fee?+
Only if your shop is under $10,000 in annual sales β then participation is optional and you can turn it off. Above that threshold Etsy makes it mandatory at the lower 12% rate.
What about currency conversion or regulatory fees?+
Etsy adds a 2.5% currency conversion fee when your listing and payment currencies differ, and a regulatory operating fee in some countries. Neither applies to a straightforward USD sale in the US.
Why is my effective fee rate higher on cheap items?+
The $0.20 listing fee and the $0.25 processing fee are fixed. On a $5 item those flat charges alone are 9% of revenue, which is why low-priced items are hard to make work on Etsy.
