What Etsy Takes From a $200 Sale
A $200 sale generates listing, transaction, and payment processing fees. This page shows the fee breakdown and what you retain before product and shipping costs.
On higher-ticket orders, fee dollars can become substantial. Even when payout looks large, real profit can be thinner than expected after fees, shipping, and product costs.
Fee breakdown for a $200 order
Listing fee: $0.20
Transaction fee (6.5%): $13.00
Payment processing (3% + $0.25): $6.25
Estimated total fees before Offsite Ads: $19.45

Take-home profit example
Before your costs, you keep around $180.55 after baseline Etsy fees. With Offsite Ads, that drops to roughly $156.55.
If cost of goods is $80 and shipping $15, real profit before ads is about $85.55. A calculator helps you model different COGS and shipping scenarios for high-ticket items.
What affects your profit
Shipping charged to the buyer may be subject to fees. Payment processing varies by region. Offsite Ads add 12% when they drive the sale. Product costs, packaging, and your shipping cost determine final net earnings.
