Frequently Asked Questions

What is Etsy's total fee percentage?

Etsy's combined rate is about 9.5% + $0.45 per sale (6.5% transaction + 3% processing + $0.25 + $0.20 listing). On a $50 item, total fees come to about $5.20, or roughly 10.4%.

What are Etsy offsite ads?

Etsy runs ads on Google and social media for your listings. If a buyer clicks an ad and purchases within 30 days, you pay a 15% fee (or 12% if your shop made $10,000+ in the past year). Shops earning $10,000+/year cannot opt out.

Is Etsy good for reselling?

Etsy is best for handmade, vintage (20+ years old), and craft supply items. It's less ideal for general resale like Mercari or eBay. The ~10% effective fee rate is competitive, but the audience expects unique or vintage items.

How can I reduce Etsy fees?

You can't lower Etsy's transaction or processing fees, but you can minimize offsite ad costs by keeping annual revenue under $10,000 (which lets you opt out). Bundling items in one shipment reduces per-item listing fees. Price items to absorb the ~10% total fee rate into your margins.
