Every Etsy fee, in order
- Listing fee: US$0.20 (about $0.30) per listing, every 4 months, whether or not it sells.
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of the price plus postage and gift wrapping.
- Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 for orders from Australia, and 4% + $0.25 for orders from overseas.
- GST: 10% on Etsy’s fees unless you’re registered for GST and give Etsy your ABN.
Unlike in the UK and Canada, Etsy doesn’t charge Australian sellers a regulatory operating fee.
Offsite Ads
If a sale comes from one of Etsy’s ads on other sites, you pay an Offsite Ads fee of 15% of the order (12% for shops with over US$10,000 of sales in a year), capped at US$100 per order. Tick “Etsy sale came from an Offsite Ad” in the calculator to include it.
What you can sell
Etsy only allows handmade items, vintage items at least 20 years old, and craft supplies. The calculator marks Etsy as unavailable for anything else.
Is Etsy worth the fees?
Etsy’s fees are higher than Vinted’s, eBay’s or Depop’s, but its buyers come looking for handmade, personalised and vintage pieces, often as gifts, and expect to pay more for them. Compare what you’d keep at the price each site’s buyers will pay, not at the same price.
