How Etsy fees work in 2026

Etsy charges $0.20 to publish a listing (and again each time it renews after a sale), a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 for US shops. On a $40 item with $6 shipping that is $0.20 + $2.99 + $1.63 = $4.82, or about 10.5% of the $46 gross.

Offsite Ads is the fee that surprises sellers. Etsy advertises listings on Google, Facebook and elsewhere; when a shopper clicks one and buys within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% of the order (12% for shops that made over $10,000 in the past 12 months, who cannot opt out). Enter the rate in the calculator to see the worst-case net.

How to keep more of each Etsy sale

  • Because 6.5% applies to shipping, do not treat shipping as a pass-through — price it in.
  • Shops under $10k/year can opt out of Offsite Ads; run the calculator with and without 15% to decide.
  • Renewal fees add up on slow movers — $0.20 every four months per listing is small individually, large across a 2,000-SKU shop.
  • Etsy is for handmade, vintage (20+ years) and supplies; cross-list true vintage to Depop and eBay where fees on shipping are similar but the audiences differ.
