How Much Does Etsy Take Per Sale?

For a typical US sale with no Offsite Ads, Etsy takes roughly 10% of the order plus about $0.45 in fixed fees. Lower-priced items lose a bigger share, because the $0.20 listing fee and $0.25 processing fee don’t shrink with the price.

So Etsy takes about $9.95 from a $100 sale, and about $1.40 from a $10 sale. If that $100 sale came through an Offsite Ad, fees jump to about $24.95.

Every Etsy Seller Fee Explained

There’s no required monthly fee to sell on Etsy. Etsy Plus and onsite Etsy Ads are optional extras you can turn on or off.

Etsy Payment Processing Fees by Country

Processing fees depend on where your bank account is, not where your buyer lives. Canada and Australia charge more for international orders.

Processing fees may also be subject to VAT, and if you refund an order, Etsy returns a proportional share of the processing fee.

The Etsy Offsite Ads Fee

Etsy advertises some listings on Google, Facebook, Instagram and other sites. If a buyer clicks one of those ads and orders from your shop within 30 days, you pay an Offsite Ads fee:

• 15% if your shop has never made $10,000 in any 365-day period. You can opt out.
• 12% once you reach $10,000. Participation then becomes mandatory.
• The fee is capped at $100 per order, however big the order is.

There’s no fee if the buyer doesn’t buy. Build the possibility into your prices, especially on low-margin items.

Etsy Fees for Digital Products

Digital downloads pay the same listing, transaction and processing fees as physical items, but with no shipping. Because each sale is usually small, the fixed fees take a bigger bite. On a $5 printable, a US seller pays $0.20 + $0.33 + $0.40, so about $0.93, or nearly 19%.

Etsy Fees in the UK, Canada and Australia

• UK: 6.5% transaction + 4% + £0.20 processing + 0.48% regulatory operating fee. A £25 sale with £3.50 postage costs about £3.30 in fees, plus the $0.20 listing fee converted to pounds.
• Canada: 6.5% transaction + 3% + C$0.25 processing (4% on international orders) + 0.50% regulatory operating fee.
• Australia: 6.5% transaction + 3% + A$0.25 processing for domestic orders, 4% for international orders.

How to Lower Your Etsy Fees

1. List in your bank’s currency to avoid the 2.5% conversion fee.
2. Raise prices slightly instead of offering free shipping at a loss. The 6.5% fee applies to shipping either way.
3. Use multi-quantity listings rather than many duplicate listings, so you don’t pay to relist the same item.
4. Opt out of Offsite Ads if you’re under $10K a year and your margins are thin.
5. Bundle low-priced items to spread the fixed fees.
6. Check your monthly statement in Shop Manager → Finances so no fee surprises you.

Etsy Fees vs eBay and Whatnot

On a $100 sale with no ads, Etsy’s fees (about $9.95) are lower than eBay’s standard 13.6% final value fee plus $0.40 per order. Whatnot charges a commission plus payment processing, and its commission rate now drops as your sales volume grows. Compare them with the eBay fee calculator and the Whatnot fees calculator.
