$0.20 listing fee — charged every time you publish or renew a listing, whether it sells or not. A listing active for 4 months costs $0.20 total.
6.5% transaction fee — applied to the full amount the buyer pays, including shipping. This is Etsy's main revenue source.
~3-4% + flat payment processing — Etsy processes payments and charges for it. Rate varies by country.
Offsite Ads (conditional) — when a sale comes from Etsy's ads on other sites, Etsy takes 15% of that order. Shops under $10,000/year can opt out; above $10,000 the program is mandatory and the rate drops to 12%.
After all these fees, a typical Etsy seller keeps 75-88% of the sale price before deducting their own costs.
A $25 item with $5 shipping charged to the buyer: the transaction fee is 6.5% of $30, about $1.95. US payment processing is 3% + $0.25, about $1.15. Add the $0.20 listing fee and you pay roughly $3.30 to Etsy before your own costs. If materials, packaging and the shipping label come to $11, you keep about $15.70. If that sale came through Offsite Ads, another 15% of the order (or 12% for larger shops) comes off — a real difference on a single item.
Fee rates change over time and differ by country. Check the current figures on Etsy's fees page before you set prices.
Many handmade sellers aim to keep at least 30–50% of the price as profit after Etsy fees and materials, so there is room for ads, discounts and their own time. Digital products can run much higher because there is no material cost.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee both apply to the full order total, including the shipping you charge.
