Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Etsy take per sale?

Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price (including shipping), and a payment processing fee (in the US, this is 3% + $0.25). On average, Etsy fees total roughly 9.5% to 11% of your total order revenue (or up to 23% to 25% if the buyer found your item via Etsy Offsite Ads).

Are Etsy transaction fees charged on shipping?

Yes. Etsy applies its 6.5% transaction fee to the entire order amount, which includes both the item listing price and any shipping fee charged to the customer.

How do Etsy Offsite Ads work?

Etsy advertises seller listings across Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing. If a shopper clicks an offsite ad and purchases from your shop within 30 days, Etsy charges an advertising fee of 15% (for shops making under $10,000/yr) or 12% (for shops making over $10,000/yr).

When does an Etsy listing fee renew?

A listing fee of $0.20 lasts for 4 months or until the item sells. When an item sells, Etsy automatically renews the listing for another $0.20 if you have multiple inventory quantities listed.
