Etsy fees explained
Etsy users have to take into account multiple different fees, starting with payment processing and going all the way to marketing.
Understanding Etsy fees will help you accurately calculate profits and set your store up for success. We’ve included a clear overview of the fees you’ll receive from Etsy.
Listing and transaction fees
Etsy’s mandatory fees are the core of all Etsy payments associated with selling on the platform.
They’ll affect the sale price and total revenue from each sale you make, therefore an essential factor to consider when pricing your products.
-
Listing fees
You’ll receive listing fees for each product you add to your store, regardless of whether they sell.
-
Transaction fees
You’ll need to pay a transaction fee on every sale you make. It’s calculated from your total costs, including the retail price, shipping, and gift wrapping.
Region-specific fees
Etsy fees go beyond the listing and transaction fees. Region-specific fees are associated with your customers’ location and are converted to your payment account currency.
-
Payment processing fees
You’re charged payment processing fees on every sale you make. They’re calculated from the item’s total sale price, including shipping fees and any applicable sales or value-added tax.
-
Currency conversion fees
These Etsy fees depend on whether you’re selling to customers outside of the country where your bank account is registered. Etsy Payments automatically converts prices to your customer’s local currency.
-
Regulatory operating fees
Sellers in countries outside of the United States can see a small regulatory fee. This is charged on the total cost of the item price, including product 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 offering free shipping, you can also sell using ads. The fee depends on your daily budget in your store settings.
-
Offsite ads fees
The Etsy offsite ads fee is for advertising your listings on Etsy publishing partners and Google display network sites. You’ll be charged an Etsy offsite ads fee for orders attributed to this service.
-
Subscription fees
Etsy offers a subscription package called Etsy Plus that comes with a wide range of perks like listing credits, custom packaging, and advanced store customization options.
-
Shipping label fees
Etsy offers the option to charge the shipping price and print shipping labels. These are based on the package weight, dimensions, distance, and chosen shipping carrier.
-
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.
