How Etsy fees work
Etsy stacks a few fees. There's a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing (in the US, about 3% + $0.25). Optional extras like Etsy Ads or Offsite Ads fees aren't included here, but the transaction + processing fees are the ones that hit every sale.
Etsy fee breakdown
| Listing fee | $0.20 per listing |
|---|---|
| Transaction fee | 6.5% of item + shipping |
| Payment processing | ~3% + $0.25 (US) |
Worked example
Say you sell an item for $30.00 with $5.00 shipping on Etsy:
| Sale total | $35.00 |
|---|---|
| Etsy fee | −$2.48 |
| Payment processing | −$1.30 |
| You keep | $31.23 |
That's $3.78 in total fees, or about 10.8% of the sale. Use the calculator above for your own numbers.
How to reduce your Etsy fees
- The $0.20 listing fee recurs every time a listing sells or auto-renews, so slow-moving listings quietly add up.
- The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the shipping you charge, so inflating shipping to lower the item price doesn't reduce total fees.
- Offsite Ads can add a 12-15% fee on attributed sales — worth checking whether you're enrolled if your shop is above the revenue threshold.
- Bundling items into one order spreads the fixed processing fee across more value.
