✦ Start selling free →Every time you sell something on Etsy, they take a cut from three separate charges. Here's what each one is:
| Fee | What it is | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Charged when you create or renew a listing | $0.20 per listing (every 4 months) |
| Transaction fee | Etsy's cut of every sale including shipping | 6.5% |
| Payment processing | Card processing (varies by country) | 3% + $0.25 (US) |
| Offsite Ads | Only applies if Etsy ran an ad that led to your sale | 12% (shops over $10k/yr) or 15% |
For digital products, there are no packaging, postage, or material costs — so your profit margins can be very high. A $5 digital printable typically leaves you around $3.80–$4.20 after all Etsy fees.
The Offsite Ads fee only applies when Etsy specifically placed an ad for your product on Google, Facebook, or Pinterest and a buyer came through that ad. You can opt out if your shop earns under $10,000 a year.
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee per item (which renews every 4 months or when the item sells), a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total including shipping, and US payment processing of 3% plus $0.25 per order. Combined, that is roughly 9.5% plus about $0.45 on a typical sale.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the full amount the buyer pays you, including shipping. It does not apply to sales tax, which Etsy collects and remits on your behalf.
When Etsy places an ad for your product and a buyer purchases through it, Etsy charges an Offsite Ads fee of 15% of the order total, or 12% if your shop has made over $10,000 in the last 12 months. Shops over $10,000 a year cannot opt out, while smaller shops can.
