Every product you publish costs $0.20. The listing stays active for four months, then auto-renews for another $0.20. When an item sells and the listing still has quantity left, Etsy charges $0.20 again to renew it.
Etsy takes 6.5% of the total sale — and that includes the shipping you charge the buyer. This is the fee that catches most new sellers off guard. If you sell a $20 item with $5 shipping, the 6.5% applies to the full $25.
Etsy processes the payment and charges for it. The rate depends on where your bank account is: 3% + $0.25 in the US, 4% + £0.20 in the UK, 4% + €0.30 in eurozone countries, 3% + CA$0.25 in Canada and 3% + A$0.25 in Australia for domestic orders. Like the transaction fee, it applies to the total including shipping.
Sellers based in some countries pay an extra percentage on each order (item, shipping and gift wrap): 0.48% in the UK, 0.50% in Canada, 1.14% in France, 0.80% in Italy and 0.88% in Spain, among others. US sellers don't pay it. Sellers in the UK and EU may also be charged VAT on Etsy's fees.
Etsy runs ads for your shop on Google, Facebook, and other platforms. When a sale comes from one of those ads, Etsy takes 15%, or 12% for shops with $10,000+ in yearly sales, capped at $100 per order. Shops under $10,000 in annual sales can opt out. Once you cross $10,000 in a 365-day window, enrollment becomes mandatory and you cannot opt out.
To price a product correctly on Etsy, work backwards from the profit you want:
Total price = (Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Desired Profit + $0.45) ÷ 0.905
For a US shop without Offsite Ads, Etsy keeps 9.5% of what the buyer pays (6.5% transaction + 3% processing) plus $0.45 per order ($0.20 listing + $0.25 processing). If a product costs you $8 to make, $5 to ship, and you want $10 profit, the buyer should pay ($8 + $5 + $10 + $0.45) ÷ 0.905 = about $25.91, item and shipping together. If the sale might come from an Offsite Ad, divide by 0.755 instead of 0.905.
