What fees does Etsy charge in 2024?
Etsy charges: a $0.20 listing fee per item (renews every 4 months or on sale), a 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee (3% + $0.25 in the US). Offsite Ads may add 12–15% on qualifying sales.
Does Etsy charge a fee on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total order value including any shipping charge you collect from the buyer. This surprises many new sellers who set shipping fees to cover actual costs.
What profit margin should I target on Etsy?
After materials, labor, and all Etsy fees, aim for at least 30–40% net margin. Handmade sellers with significant labor should price accordingly — underpricing is one of the most common Etsy mistakes.
What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?
Etsy promotes listings off-platform automatically. If a sale results from an Offsite Ad, Etsy charges 15% (or 12% if you've exceeded $10,000 in annual sales). Sellers below $10,000 cannot opt out.
