How much does Etsy take from each sale?

In the US, Etsy takes roughly 10–13% of each order: a 6.5% transaction fee on item + shipping, a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee, plus a $0.20 listing fee. Sellers enrolled in Offsite Ads pay an additional 15% on attributed orders (12% if revenue exceeds $10,000/yr).

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Yes. Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee and 3% payment processing fee both apply to the shipping price you charge buyers, not just the item price. This is why undercharging for shipping silently shrinks your margin.

What are Offsite Ads and can I opt out?

Offsite Ads are Etsy-managed ads that run on Google, Facebook, Instagram and other platforms. If a buyer clicks an offsite ad and orders within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% (12% if you exceed $10K in annual sales). Sellers under $10K can opt out; sellers above that threshold are required to participate.

How is the Etsy listing fee charged?

Etsy charges $0.20 per listing when you publish an item, and again every four months as the listing auto-renews, or each time you sell a unit from a multi-quantity listing. The fee is non-refundable, even if the item never sells.

How can I improve my Etsy margins?

Price for the full fee stack — many sellers forget to factor processing into their margin target. Bundle items to spread the $0.20 listing fee, opt out of Offsite Ads if you're under $10K/year, and ship via Etsy-purchased labels for discounted rates. Then plug the new numbers into the profit margin calculator to confirm the math.

Formula Explained

Total Fees = Listing $0.20 + (Item + Shipping) × 6.5% + ((Item + Shipping) × 3% + $0.25) + Offsite Ads 15% (if applicable)

Listing: = Flat $0.20 per listing (charged on creation and every 4-month renewal)
Transaction Fee: = 6.5% of item price plus shipping and gift-wrap charges
Payment Processing: = 3% + $0.25 per order for US Etsy Payments (rates vary by country)
Offsite Ads: = 15% on orders driven by offsite ads (12% for sellers above $10K/yr)

Worked example: A $50 item with $5 shipping: listing $0.20 + transaction ($55 × 6.5% = $3.58) + processing ($55 × 3% + $0.25 = $1.90) = $5.68 in fees. You receive $49.32.
