What fees does Etsy charge sellers?

Etsy charges five main fees: a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the sale price (including shipping), a payment processing fee (3% + $0.25), a 0.65% regulatory operating fee, and optionally a 15% offsite advertising fee when a sale comes through an Etsy ad.

What is Etsy's transaction fee?

Etsy's transaction fee is 6.5% of the total order amount, which includes the item price and shipping charges. This is separate from payment processing fees. Together, these make up the bulk of Etsy's seller fees.

How do Etsy Offsite Ads work?

Etsy promotes your listings on platforms like Google, Facebook, and Instagram. If a buyer clicks the ad and purchases within 30 days, you pay 15% of the order total (or 12% if you made over $10,000 in the past year). Shops earning under $10,000/year can opt out; high-volume shops are automatically enrolled.

What is the Etsy listing fee?

Etsy charges $0.20 to publish a listing. Each listing lasts 4 months or until the item sells. When an item sells, the listing is automatically renewed for another $0.20. Multi-quantity listings incur a $0.20 fee for each sale.

What is the Etsy regulatory operating fee?

The regulatory operating fee is 0.65% of the total order amount. It was introduced to help cover costs related to regulatory requirements in different jurisdictions. It applies to all sales regardless of seller location.

How does Etsy compare to eBay and Amazon in total fees?

Etsy's total fees without offsite ads are approximately 10.4% + $0.45 per sale, making it competitive with eBay (13% + $0.30) and Amazon (15% + FBA). However, Etsy's offsite ads (15%) can make it the most expensive option if your sales come through ads. Etsy is best for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies.
