How Much Does Etsy Take From Sellers?
Short answer: Etsy typically charges a listing fee when you list, a transaction fee on the order total (including shipping in many cases), and a payment-processing fee on paid orders. Optional Offsite Ads can add more. Use the calculator for your inputs — published rates change, and this site only uses a verified fee table.
Fee building blocks
- Listing fee — charged when you list (and on renewals per Etsy’s rules)
- Transaction fee — a percentage of the relevant order amount
- Payment processing — percentage plus a fixed amount for many US sellers
- Offsite Ads — optional; only model it if you use it
How to run an estimate
- Open the Etsy Fee Calculator.
- Enter sale price, shipping charged, and your cost.
- Toggle Offsite Ads only if they apply.
- Read the fee breakdown and net. Confirm the verification date and Etsy help links.
Digital products
For digital listings, sellers often model $0 shipping. Still confirm Etsy’s current rules for your listing type on Etsy’s help center.
