How the math works
Listing fee = $0.20 flat, charged per listing and each time it renews or sells.
Transaction fee = 6.5% × (item price + shipping charged to buyer).
Payment processing = 3% × (item price + shipping) + $0.25 (US sellers).
Offsite ads = 12% or 15% × (item price + shipping), only when the buyer arrived via an Etsy offsite ad.
You keep = sale total − all fees. On a typical $25 sale with no ads, that is $25 − $2.83 = $22.17 (11.3% effective).
Frequently asked questions
Every sale carries three core fees: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25 per order for US sellers. Sales attributed to offsite ads add 12–15%.
About $2.83, or 11.3%: $0.20 listing + $1.63 transaction fee (6.5%) + $1.00 payment processing (3% + $0.25). With an offsite ad attributed, add another $3.75 (15%), for $6.58 total.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total order amount including any shipping the buyer pays. Offering free shipping does not reduce this fee.
Shops earning under $10,000 per year can opt out in their shop settings. Shops earning $10,000 or more per year are automatically enrolled and cannot opt out; their offsite ad fee is 12% instead of 15%.
Etsy refunds the transaction fee and payment processing fee when you issue a full refund, but the $0.20 listing fee is generally not refunded.
Work backwards: decide your target profit per item, add your costs, then divide by (1 − effective fee rate). With ~11.3% in base fees, a $20 profit target with $8 in costs needs a price of about $31.60.
