Etsy Fees

Publishing a listing costs $0.20 and it lasts for four months or until the item is sold. After the item was sold, there is a transaction fee of 5% 6.5% base on the total sale price (sale price + shipping price + gift wrap charged).

If you are enrolled in Etsy Payments, Etsy will also take 3% of the total transaction amount (sale price + shipping price + gift wrap charged + sales tax) plus $0.25 per order.

For example, the sale price of an item is $100 and the shipping price is $10. Sales tax of the buyer’s state is 8%.

• Etsy listing fee is $0.20
• Etsy transaction fee is ($100 + $10) * 0.065 = $7.15
• Etsy payment processing fee is (($100 + $10) * 1.08) * 0.03 + $0.25 = $3.81
• Total Etsy fee is $0.20 + $7.15 + $3.81 = $11.16

If you opt for PayPal, then ignore the Etsy payment processing fee. PayPal has its processing fee as stated further below.
