- Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 for sellers with a US bank account.
- A $25 item with $5 shipping costs $3.30 in fees, 11% of the $30 order, so you keep $26.70 before your own costs.
- An Offsite Ads sale adds 15% of the order, or 12% for shops with $10,000 or more in sales over 12 months, capped at $100 per order.
- Etsy charges fees on shipping and gift wrapping too, so free shipping does not remove them.

Add your costs
Open the advanced section to enter what the item costs you, your real shipping cost, the buyer sales tax rate and any currency conversion.

Each fee is listed on its own line so you can see which one costs the most.
How much does Etsy take from a sale?
On orders from $10 to $500 without Offsite Ads, Etsy’s fees work out to roughly 9.6% to 14% of the order total. Small orders cost more because the $0.20 listing fee and the $0.25 processing fee are fixed.
| Order total (item + shipping) | Etsy fees | You keep before costs | Fees as a share of the order |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $1.40 | $8.60 | 14.0% |
| $30.00 | $3.30 | $26.70 | 11.0% |
| $50.00 | $5.20 | $44.80 | 10.4% |

Etsy seller fees explained
- Listing fee: $0.20 for each listing, charged whether or not the item sells. A listing lasts four months, and each renewal costs another $0.20.
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of the price you display plus the shipping and gift wrapping you charge. For US sellers it does not apply to sales tax.
- Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 per order with a US bank account, taken from the total sale price including shipping and sales tax. Canada is 3% + CA$0.25 on domestic and US orders and 4% + CA$0.25 on international orders, and the UK is 4% + £0.20.
- Offsite Ads: 15% of the order when an Etsy ad leads to the sale, or 12% once your shop has $10,000 or more in sales over the prior 365 days, capped at $100 per order. Once you reach the lower rate it stays for the life of the shop, and shops under $10,000 can opt out.
- Currency conversion: 2.5% when you list in a currency different from your payment account currency.
- Setup fee: a one-time, non-refundable fee when you open a shop. Etsy shows the amount during setup and may waive it in some cases.
- Regulatory operating fee: charged in some countries. Etsy does not list it for the US.
How the Etsy fee is calculated
Etsy fee formula
Order total = item price + shipping + gift wrapping
Transaction fee = order total × 6.5%
Payment processing = (order total + sales tax) × 3% + $0.25
Offsite Ads fee = order total × 15% or 12%, up to $100
Total fees = $0.20 + transaction fee + processing + Offsite Ads + conversion
You keep = order total − total fees
Etsy can change its fees, so confirm your own rates in Shop Manager.
Etsy fee examples
Example 1: a $25 item with $5 shipping
The order total is $30 with no Offsite Ads.
- Listing fee $0.20
- Transaction fee (6.5% of $30) $1.95
- Payment processing (3% of $30 + $0.25) $1.15
- Total fees $3.30
- You keep before costs $26.70
That is 11% of the order. If the item cost $8 and shipping cost $4, the profit is $14.70.
Example 2: the same sale from Offsite Ads
An Etsy ad leads to the sale.
- Offsite Ads fee at 15% of $30 $4.50
- Total fees $7.80
- You keep before costs $22.20
- Total fees at the 12% rate $6.90
Offsite Ads turn an 11% fee into 26%. Shops with $10,000 or more in sales pay 12%.
Example 3: a sale with 8% sales tax
The same $30 order with 8% sales tax collected.
- Transaction fee (not charged on tax) $1.95
- Payment processing (3% of $32.40 + $0.25) $1.22
- Total fees $3.37
Sales tax raises the processing fee by about 7 cents here, because Etsy takes it from the total including tax.
Example 4: the Offsite Ads cap
An $800 item with no shipping, sold through Offsite Ads at 15%.
- 15% of $800 would be $120.00
- Offsite Ads fee after the cap $100.00
- Total fees $176.45
- You keep before costs $623.55
The $100 cap limits the ads fee on big orders, so fees are 22.1% of the order instead of 28.1%.
Etsy fees vs eBay, Mercari, Poshmark and Depop
Take a $40 item with $6 shipping paid by the buyer. Etsy takes $4.82, including the $0.20 listing fee. Mercari takes $4.60, eBay takes $6.66 and Poshmark takes $8.00. Depop takes $1.97 in US payment processing and has no selling fee.
Fees are only one part of the choice, since buyers and traffic differ. Compare with the eBay fee calculator, the Mercari fee calculator, the Poshmark fee calculator and the Depop fee calculator, or see them side by side in the resale fee comparison.
Price with the fees in mind
Because Etsy takes a share of shipping too, free shipping does not remove fees. It only moves the cost into the item price. To see profit with your item cost, use the Etsy profit calculator. If you sell print on demand products, try the print on demand profit calculator. The markup calculator and the wholesale pricing calculator help you work backward from the price you need.
