How much Etsy fees cost

Three fees apply to every Etsy sale, and a fourth applies when the buyer arrived through one of Etsy's ads on another site. Etsy sets them out in its Fees & Payments Policy.

  • Listing fee: $0.20 for each item sold.
  • Transaction fee: 6.5% of the item price plus the shipping you charge.
  • Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 per order in the US, 4% + £0.20 in the UK.
  • Regulatory operating fee (UK shops): 0.48% of the item price plus postage, raised from 0.32% on June 22, 2026. US shops do not pay it.
  • Offsite Ads: 15% of the order, or 12% for shops with $10,000 or more in sales over the past 365 days, capped at $100 per order. Only charged on orders that came from an Offsite Ad.

How to calculate Etsy fees: a worked example

A US shop sells a $30.00 print with $5.00 shipping. Materials cost $9.00 and postage $4.75.

  1. Order total: $30.00 + $5.00 = $35.00.
  2. Listing fee: $0.20.
  3. Transaction fee: 6.5% × $35.00 = $2.28.
  4. Payment processing: 3% × $35.00 + $0.25 = $1.30.
  5. Payout: $35.00 − $3.78 = $31.22.
  6. Profit: $31.22 − $9.00 − $4.75 = $17.47.

The same order from an Offsite Ad pays another $5.25, which cuts the profit to $12.22.

Many sellers list the same item on eBay too. eBay vs Etsy fees shows which platform takes less at eight prices, and the marketplace fee comparison runs your own sale on six marketplaces.

Fixed fees weigh most on cheap items, so the rate falls as the price rises.

What the Etsy fee calculator leaves out

  • VAT on seller fees. It applies to UK shops and is not included, so the UK result is slightly optimistic.
  • Currency conversion when your shop currency differs from your bank account's.
  • Etsy Ads (the on-site ads you budget yourself), shipping labels bought through Etsy and optional subscriptions.
  • The Offsite Ads cap for UK shops: Etsy sets it at US$100; the calculator applies the cap to US shops only.

To set a price from your material costs, the profit margin calculator works out the margin. Etsy only allows clothing that is handmade or vintage; for ordinary second-hand clothes, see the cheapest place to sell clothes.

Questions about Etsy fees

How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale?

$9.95 for a US shop with no shipping charge: $0.20 listing fee, $6.50 transaction fee and $3.25 payment processing. You keep $90.05. If the sale came through an Offsite Ad, add 15%, which brings the fees to $24.95.

Does Etsy take 30%?

Not on an ordinary sale. A US shop pays 10.4% of a $50 item in fees and 14.0% of a $10 item, because the fixed listing and processing fees weigh more on cheap items. A sale that came through an Offsite Ad adds 15%, which takes the total to 25.4% on $50 and 29.0% on $10.

Are Etsy fees different for digital products?

No. A digital download pays the same $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing as a physical item. There is no shipping to charge, so leave shipping at $0 in the calculator and the fees apply to the item price alone.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus the shipping you charge, and so does payment processing. Offering "free shipping" by raising the item price does not lower the fees.

What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

15% of the order when a buyer clicks one of Etsy's ads on another site and then buys from your shop. Shops with $10,000 or more in sales over the past 365 days pay 12% and cannot opt out. The fee is capped at $100 per order.

What does Etsy charge UK sellers for payment processing?

4% + £0.20 per order, compared with 3% + $0.25 in the US. Switch the calculator to United Kingdom to use it. The listing fee is billed as US$0.20 and converted to pounds, and UK shops also pay a regulatory operating fee of 0.48% of the item price plus postage.

Do I pay the listing fee again when an item sells?

If the listing has more than one in stock, it renews automatically when one sells and Etsy charges another $0.20. Enter the quantity sold and the calculator counts one listing fee per item.
