Etsy fees explained
Etsy sellers pay several fees, including listing, payment processing, transaction, and offsite ad fees.
Understanding Etsy seller fees helps you accurately calculate your expenses, protect your profit margin, and price products for long-term success. Below is a clear fee breakdown of the Etsy charges you can expect.
Listing and transaction fees
Etsy’s mandatory fees are a core part of selling on the platform.
They’ll affect the sale price and total revenue from each sale you make, so it’s crucial to understand them when pricing your products.
-
Listing fees
Etsy listing fees apply to every product you add to your shop, whether it sells or not.
-
Transaction fees
Etsy transaction fees are charged on every sale and calculated as a percentage of your item’s total sale price, including the listing price, shipping costs, and gift wrapping.
Region-specific fees
Beyond listing and Etsy transaction fees, additional charges may apply based on your customer’s location. These Etsy fees are converted to your payment account currency.

-
Currency conversion fees
If you sell to customers outside your bank account country, Etsy Payments automatically converts the price to the buyer’s local currency and applies a conversion fee.
-
VAT and sales tax
Depending on where your Etsy shop and customer are located, VAT or sales tax may be added to the order total.
-
Regulatory operating fees
Sellers outside the United States may see a small regulatory operating fee, calculated from the item price plus personalization, shipping, and gift wrapping.
Optional fees
Etsy fees also include costs for using specific services, which help you market and sell your goods to customers.
-
Etsy ads fees
In addition to Etsy search engine optimization and attracting more customers by offering free shipping, you can also sell using ads. Etsy charges ad fees based on your daily budget and store settings.
-
Offsite ads fees
The Etsy offsite ads fee covers advertising your listings on Etsy publishing partners and Google display network sites. You’ll be charged an Etsy offsite ads fee for orders that come through this service.
-
Subscription fees
Etsy offers a subscription package called Etsy Plus that includes a range of perks, such as listing credits, a unique web address, and advanced store customization options.
-
Shipping label fees
Etsy lets you charge a shipping price and buy shipping labels directly in your dashboard. Shipping fees depend on package weight, dimensions, distance, and the shipping carrier you choose.
-
In-person selling fees
Download the Square app to process in-person payments at local markets and art fairs, and use the Square integration to link up your Etsy and Square accounts.
-
Pattern fees
Pattern is Etsy’s own website builder that gives you a standalone website separate from the Etsy Marketplace.
