Every Etsy fee, in order
- Listing fee: $0.20 per listing, every 4 months, whether or not it sells.
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of the price plus shipping and gift wrapping.
- Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 per order, for US sellers.
- Sales tax: Etsy collects it from the buyer and pays it to the state. It isn’t charged the transaction 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 $10,000 of sales in a year), capped at $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?
On fees alone, Etsy is cheaper than Poshmark and eBay. Its buyers come looking for handmade, personalized and vintage pieces, often as gifts, and expect to pay more for them.
