How Etsy fees work

Etsy charges a flat $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale (item + shipping), a payment processing fee, and — if enabled — an offsite ads fee of 12–15% when a sale comes from Etsy's own ads.

Etsy US standard seller. Offsite Ads only bills when a sale is attributed to an Etsy-placed ad — 15% normally, 12% once your shop has $10,000+ in trailing 365-day sales (where it also becomes mandatory), capped at $100 per order either way.

Instead of "what do I keep from this amount?", answer "what do I need to charge to net a specific amount, after Etsy's fees?" The pricing calculator solves it instantly, pre-loaded with Etsy's exact rate.

Worked example

$30 item, $6 shipping — where the money goes

$30 item + $6 shipping, no offsite ad

A $36 order total. Etsy's $0.20 listing fee applies first, then the 6.5% transaction fee on the full $36, then payment processing at 3% + $0.25. Here's the full breakdown:

Listing fee (charged whether it sells or not) $0.20
Transaction fee: 6.5% × $36 $2.34
Payment processing: 3% × $36 + $0.25 $1.33
Total mandatory fees $3.87
Your payout $32.13

If that same sale came through an Offsite Ad at the 15% tier, add $5.40 (15% of $36) — total fees $9.27, take-home $26.73. Select your revenue tier under “Refine your rate” in the calculator above to model your own ad tier.

Offsite ads: what most fee guides leave out

1

There's no opt-out, but there is a threshold

Offsite ads are mandatory the moment your shop is eligible — you cannot turn them off. What you can control is the rate: shops under $10,000 in trailing 365-day revenue pay 15% when a sale is attributed to an ad; shops over $10,000 pay 12%. That crossover is worth tracking if you're close to it.

2

The fee is capped at $100 per order — no matter the sale price

A $2,000 sale attributed to an ad still only pays $100 in ad fees — an effective 5%, not the full 12–15% rate. This matters most for sellers of higher-value items, and it's the detail most third-party fee guides miss entirely because it only bites above roughly $650–830 in sale price.

Easy to miss

The $0.20 listing fee renews whether it sells or not

The $0.20 listing fee is the most commonly underestimated Etsy cost. It renews automatically every four months regardless of whether the item sells, so a stale, unsold listing quietly accumulates fees in the background. The calculator's all-in effective rate already folds the listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 processing into one number, then layers in offsite ads on top the moment you select a revenue tier — so you're never looking at a partial cost.

The calculator above answers "what do I make at this price?" For the reverse question — "what price do I need to hit a 30% margin after Etsy's ~9.85% all-in fee?" — use the pricing calculator. If you also sell the same item on eBay or Poshmark, run it through each calculator to find the most profitable channel before you list.

FAQ

Etsy questions answered

How much does Etsy take per sale?

On the US schedule, Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing — roughly 9.85% all-in on a $50 sale before offsite ads. Select your revenue tier under "Refine your rate" to add 12% or 15% on top if the sale came from an ad.

What is the Etsy offsite ads 15% threshold?

Shops that made under $10,000 in the last 365 days pay 15% offsite ads when a sale is attributed to an Etsy ad. Shops over $10,000 pay 12%. The fee is mandatory and there is no opt-out, but it's capped at $100 per order — a $2,000 sale still only pays $100, not $300.

Why is the listing fee $0.20 even if I don't sell?

Etsy charges $0.20 USD per listing on a four-month cycle regardless of whether the item sells. The calculator includes this as a fixed line item so a single bulk-listing run shows the real cost.

How do UK Etsy fees differ from US?

Switch the currency above to GBP and the calculator swaps to Etsy's UK schedule: ~£0.16 listing + 6.5% transaction + ~4% + £0.20 processing. Offsite ads behave identically.

Is there a maximum Etsy will charge for offsite ads on one order?

Yes — Offsite Ads fees cap at $100 per order regardless of sale price. A $2,000 sale attributed to an ad still only pays $100 (5% effective), not the full 12–15% — worth knowing if you sell higher-value items, since most fee guides don't mention it.
