How the calculation works
- The transaction fee is 6.5% of the listing price plus buyer-paid shipping plus gift wrap. For US sellers it does not apply to sales tax.
- The listing fee is $0.20 per item — including each automatic renewal when a multi-quantity listing sells.
- US payment processing is 3% + $0.25 per order, applied to the total the buyer pays including sales tax.
- Offsite Ads apply only to attributed orders: 15% of the order total, or 12% once your shop has made $10,000.00+ in the prior 365 days, capped at $100.00 per order.

Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge sellers?
Three main fees: a 6.5% transaction fee on price + shipping + gift wrap, a $0.20 listing fee per item, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 per order for US sellers. Offsite Ads adds a percentage on attributed orders.
Is sales tax included in Etsy fees?
Partly. The transaction fee does not apply to US sales tax, but payment processing applies to the full amount the buyer pays including tax.
How do listing fee renewals work?
Each item in a multi-quantity listing renews the listing when it sells, so the $0.20 fee applies per item sold.
When do Offsite Ads fees apply?
Only when a sale is attributed to Etsy’s Offsite Ads. The rate is 15% of the order total, or 12% for shops with $10,000.00+ in prior-365-day sales, capped at $100.00 per order.
