Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage does Etsy take?
Etsy takes 6.5% transaction fee plus 3% + $0.25 payment processing, totaling about 9.5-10% of your sale. Add $0.20 per listing and potentially 12-15% Offsite Ads fee.
Can I opt out of Offsite Ads?
If you make less than $10K/year, yes. If you make $10K+, Offsite Ads participation is mandatory. You only pay the fee (12%) when a sale comes directly from an Etsy ad.
Does the transaction fee apply to shipping?
Yes, Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping costs. Payment processing (3% + $0.25) also applies to the full order total.
When does the $0.20 listing fee expire?
Listings last 4 months or until the item sells. If it sells, you pay $0.20 to renew. If it doesn't sell in 4 months, you can renew for another $0.20.
Are there any monthly fees?
No monthly fees for basic selling. Etsy Plus ($10/mo) and Pattern by Etsy ($15/mo) are optional subscriptions that provide extra features but don't reduce fees.
How much should I price my items?
Formula: (Material Cost + Labor + Overhead) ÷ (1 - 0.10) = Minimum Price. Add 10-15% to cover Etsy fees, then add your desired profit margin (typically 30-50%).
