Etsy Seller Fees 2026: Complete Breakdown
Quick answer
In 2026, Etsy charges sellers a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, ~3% + $0.25 payment processing fee, and an optional 12–15% Offsite Ads fee. Most sellers see total fees between 10% and 15% per order.
All Etsy Seller Fees in 2026
Listing fee: $0.20 per listing or renewal. Charged when you publish a new listing and again each time it renews after a sale or expiry.
Transaction fee: 6.5% of the total order value including any shipping charged to the buyer. Applied on every sale.
Payment processing fee: Varies by seller country. For most sellers (US, CA, AU) it's approximately 3% + $0.25 per order. UK sellers pay 4% + £0.20. Applied through Etsy Payments.
Offsite Ads fee: 12% of the order total if your shop made over $10,000 in the past year; 15% if under. Only charged when Etsy attributes the sale to an Offsite Ads click. Not applied to every order.
Regulatory operating fee: An additional percentage applied in certain regions including the UK, France, and select others. Check your Etsy account to see if this applies to your shop.
Which Fees Apply to Every Sale
Three fees apply as a baseline on every Etsy order: the listing fee ($0.20), the transaction fee (6.5%), and the payment processing fee (~3% + fixed). These are unavoidable for any seller using Etsy Payments.
The Offsite Ads fee and regulatory operating fee are conditional. They only apply when specific criteria are met. Offsite Ads is triggered by ad attribution; regulatory fees depend on your shop's country and Etsy's regional fee policies.
Which Fees Apply to Shipping
Both the transaction fee and the payment processing fee apply to shipping charged to the buyer, not just the item subtotal. This is one of the most commonly missed details in Etsy fee calculations.
If you sell a $40 item and charge $6 shipping, Etsy calculates the 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% processing component on $46, not $40. On a $6 shipping charge, that adds roughly $0.55 in fees that many sellers don't account for.
