How Etsy fees work
Every Etsy sale carries at least three fees that stack on top of each other:
- Listing fee — $0.20 per item, charged when you list it and again every four months or when it sells.
- Transaction fee — 6.5% of the item price plus the shipping you charge (and gift wrap), but not sales tax.
- Payment processing — 3% + $0.25 in the US, on the item + shipping + tax.
That's about 9–11% of a typical order before anything else. If the sale comes through Offsite Ads, Etsy adds 15% (12% for shops over $10k/year), capped at $100 per order — which can push the total past 20%.
Questions
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. Both the 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% payment processing apply to the shipping you charge the buyer, not just the item price. So "free shipping" baked into the price costs you the same in fees as charging it separately.
Can I avoid the Offsite Ads fee?
If your shop made under $10,000 in the last 12 months, you can opt out of Offsite Ads in your shop settings. Once you cross $10,000 you're enrolled permanently, but the rate drops to 12%.
What's a healthy Etsy profit margin?
After fees, materials, shipping and your time, many handmade sellers aim to keep at least 30–40% of the sale as profit. Use the break-even price above as your floor, then price above it.
