Select Plan & Offsite Ads

Choose Standard or Etsy Plus ($10/mo). Then select your Offsite Ads status — 15% if your shop earns under $10k/year, 12% if over $10k (mandatory). The calculator shows the exact fee impact per sale.

Frequently Asked Questions — Etsy Seller Fees 2026

Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price including shipping, a $0.20 listing fee per item, and an Etsy Payments processing fee of 3% + $0.25 per transaction (US rate). On a $50 sale, total Etsy fees are approximately $5.20 without Offsite Ads — rising to $12.70 if a 15% Offsite Ads fee applies.
Etsy's transaction fee is 6.5% of the total amount the buyer pays, including the item price, shipping charge, and any gift wrap cost. This applies to every completed sale. The fee is charged in your listing currency. For example, on a $40 item + $8 shipping = $48 total, Etsy's transaction fee is $3.12.
Etsy's Offsite Ads program promotes your listings on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and other platforms. If a buyer clicks an Offsite Ad and then purchases from your shop within 30 days, Etsy charges you 15% of the order total (for shops under $10k/year) or 12% (for shops over $10k/year). Shops that have made less than $10,000 in the past 12 months can opt out of Offsite Ads; larger shops are enrolled automatically and cannot opt out.
Etsy Plus ($10/month) includes 15 listing credits worth $3, $5 in Etsy Ads credits, a custom shop web address (etsy.com/shop/yourshopname), advanced shop customization options including banner templates, and restock request notifications for buyers. For most sellers, the core value is the $8 in credits — meaning you're paying $2/month for the extra features. High-volume shops that use Etsy Ads regularly get the most benefit.
Yes — Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee applies to the full amount the buyer pays, including shipping. If you charge $10 for shipping, Etsy takes 6.5% of that too. This is why many successful Etsy sellers offer free shipping and build shipping costs into the item price — it simplifies your fee calculations and can improve your search ranking in Etsy's algorithm.
A healthy Etsy profit margin is 25–40% after fees and costs — higher than other platforms because handmade and vintage items have higher perceived value. With Etsy's baseline fees taking ~10% of revenue, you also need to account for materials, your labor time, and packaging. Margins below 20% leave little room for price changes, promotions, or unexpected costs. Always calculate with this Etsy fee calculator before setting your price.
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee when you first publish a listing. Listings are active for 4 months or until the item sells, whichever comes first. When a listing sells, Etsy automatically renews it for another $0.20. If you sell 3 of the same item from a single listing, you're charged $0.20 for each additional unit sold. Etsy Plus members receive 15 listing credits per month ($3 value) to offset this.
No — Etsy's standard fees (listing + transaction + payment processing) typically total 10–12% of a sale for US sellers, not 30%. The 30% myth usually comes from sellers who also count Offsite Ads (12–15%) and Etsy Ads spend on top of standard fees, or who confuse fees with their own material and shipping costs. Run your exact numbers through the calculator above to see your real percentage.
Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee and $0.20 listing fee are the same worldwide, but the Etsy Payments processing fee changes by seller country: US sellers pay 3% + $0.25, UK sellers pay 4% + £0.20, and most EU countries pay 4% + €0.30. Several countries — including Turkey, Vietnam, Canada, Spain, France, the UK, Italy, and India — also carry an additional Regulatory Operating Fee (0.29%–2.27%) on top of standard fees to cover local digital services taxes. Select your country in the calculator above for an exact figure.
On a $100 sale (item price only, no shipping) for a US seller, Etsy takes approximately $9.95 in total fees: a $0.20 listing fee, $6.50 transaction fee (6.5%), and $3.25 payment processing fee (3% + $0.25). If you also charge $10 shipping, total fees rise to around $11.60 since the 6.5% transaction fee applies to shipping too. Add Offsite Ads (12–15%) and fees can climb further on qualifying sales.
You can't lower Etsy's fee rates, but you can reduce their impact: price items to cover all fees upfront rather than absorbing them after the fact, opt out of Offsite Ads if your shop earns under $10,000/year and the ads aren't converting, use multi-quantity listings to avoid duplicate listing fees, and build a direct sales channel (your own site) alongside Etsy so not every sale carries platform fees.
Etsy's combined fees (listing + transaction + payment processing) typically run 10–12% of a sale. Amazon Handmade charges a flat 15% referral fee with no separate listing fee, but Amazon's larger built-in audience and search volume can offset the higher rate for some sellers. Use this Etsy calculator alongside our Amazon fee calculator to compare your actual numbers on both platforms before deciding.

Tips to Improve Your Etsy Profit Margin

📦

Offer free shipping and price it in

Since Etsy charges its 6.5% transaction fee on shipping too, rolling shipping into your item price simplifies your fee math. Free shipping can also boost your Etsy search ranking and conversion rate — buyers respond positively to no-surprise checkout pricing.

🎯

Price for Offsite Ads from day one

Even if you've opted out of Offsite Ads now, you may be enrolled automatically if your shop hits $10k/year. Build a 12–15% buffer into your prices from the start so an Offsite Ad sale never catches you off guard. Use this calculator with Offsite Ads enabled to see your real worst-case profit.

🏷️

Batch your listings to reduce renewal fees

Listing fees are charged per item sold, not per listing. If you sell 5 handmade candles from one listing, you pay $0.20 × 5 = $1.00 in listing fees. Use multi-quantity listings rather than separate listings for identical items to avoid unnecessary listing creation fees.

⚡

Use Etsy Ads strategically, not broadly

Etsy Ads charges per click, not per sale — so low-converting listings can bleed your budget fast. Start with a small daily budget ($1–3) on your best-converting listings only. Monitor your Ads dashboard weekly and pause any listings with high spend and low orders.
