How Etsy fees work
Three core fees hit every sale. Offsite Ads only kicks in when Etsy attributes the order to an external ad.
Transaction + processing
Etsy takes 6.5% of the item price plus the shipping you charge. Separately, Etsy Payments charges a processing fee that varies by bank country — commonly 3% + $0.25 in the US.
Offsite Ads
If a buyer finds you through Etsy’s external ads and buys within 30 days, you pay 15% (under $10k sales in 365 days) or 12% ($10k+). That fee never exceeds $100 on a single order.

How to lower your Etsy fees
You cannot remove the core sale fees, but you can reduce how much of your margin they eat.
-
Raise average order value
Flat processing fees hurt small orders more. Bundles and higher ticket items spread the $0.25 (or local flat fee) across more revenue.
-
Bundle related items
One checkout instead of three means one payment flat fee and often better conversion — while transaction % still applies to the total.
-
Price shipping deliberately
Transaction and processing fees apply to shipping charged to the buyer. Undercharging shipping transfers cost into your margin after fees.
-
Watch Offsite Ads attribution
Under $10k you can often opt out. Above $10k participation is required at 12%. Use this calculator with “Offsite Ads” selected before you scale paid external traffic expectations.
-
Use new-shop promos when available
Etsy occasionally runs onboarding or fee promotions. Toggle “New shop promo rate” only when a live promo lowers your transaction rate, and update the constant in the fee config to match.
FAQ
Straight answers to the questions sellers actually search.
How much does Etsy take per sale?
For a typical US sale: $0.20 listing (at publish/renew), 6.5% transaction on price + shipping, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing. Offsite Ads can add 12–15% when attributed, capped at $100 per order.
What is the 6.5% transaction fee on Etsy?
It is Etsy’s commission on each marketplace sale, calculated on the listing price plus shipping and gift wrap you charge. It is separate from payment processing.
Are Etsy listing fees per item or per order?
Per listing publish/renew ($0.20), not per order. Listings last four months or until sold. Multi-quantity sales can trigger additional $0.20 renewals for extra units.
Do I pay fees on shipping?
Yes. Both the 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing fees include the shipping amount charged to the buyer.
What is the Etsy offsite ads fee?
A fee on orders attributed to Etsy’s external ads (buyer clicked an ad and purchased within 30 days). 15% if under $10,000 in any consecutive 365-day period; 12% once you hit that threshold. Cap: $100 per order.
Is there a fee when a buyer pays by credit card?
Yes — the Etsy Payments processing fee. US sellers commonly pay 3% + $0.25. Other countries use different percent + flat amounts based on bank location.
How do I calculate my profit on Etsy?
Order total (price + shipping) − Etsy fees − your product cost − packaging − actual postage. Enter price, shipping, and optional cost above to get fees and profit instantly.
Do Etsy fees change by country?
Listing and transaction fees are broadly the same; payment processing changes by bank country (UK, Canada, Australia, EU, and others all differ). Use the region dropdown to model your shop.
