How Much Does Etsy Take Per Sale?
Quick answer
Every Etsy order incurs a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, and a payment processing fee of roughly 3% + $0.25. On a $25 US sale that comes to $2.83 before Offsite Ads.
Etsy does not charge one flat fee. Three separate fees apply to every order. A fourth — Offsite Ads — applies when Etsy attributes the sale to a promoted listing click within the past 30 days.

| Fee | Amount | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Every new listing and each auto-renewal after a sale |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Applied to item price plus any shipping charged |
| Payment processing | ~3% + $0.25 | Every order paid through Etsy Payments (varies by country) |
| Offsite Ads fee | 15% (or 12%) | Only when Etsy attributes the sale to an offsite ad click within 30 days |
The 12% Offsite Ads rate applies to sellers who have made more than $10,000 on Etsy in the past 365 days. Under that threshold, the rate is 15%.
Exact Fees by Sale Price (US, No Shipping)
These figures use US payment processing rates. Shipping fees charged to the buyer are not included in the order total below — adding shipping would increase the transaction fee.
| Sale price | Listing | Transaction | Processing | Total fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.20 | $0.65 | $0.55 | $1.40 | $8.60 |
| $25 | $0.20 | $1.63 | $1.00 | $2.83 | $22.17 |
| $50 | $0.20 | $3.25 | $1.75 | $5.20 | $44.80 |
| $100 | $0.20 | $6.50 | $3.25 | $9.95 | $90.05 |
These are baseline fees only. Offsite Ads would add $1.50, $3.75, $7.50, or $15.00 to each row respectively (at 15%).
The Offsite Ads Fee and the 30-Day Window
Etsy's Offsite Ads attribution window is 30 days. A sale can be tagged as an Offsite Ads order up to 30 days after the buyer first clicked the promoted listing — even if they came back later via direct search or a bookmark.
Sellers who made over $10,000 on Etsy in the past 365 days cannot opt out of Offsite Ads. The fee drops from 15% to 12% once you cross that threshold.
On a $50 sale at 15%, Offsite Ads adds $7.50 — bringing total fees from $5.20 to $12.70. That shifts your pre-cost take-home from $44.80 to $37.30.
Why Shipping Makes Fees Higher Than Expected
Etsy applies the 6.5% transaction fee to the full order total, including any shipping charged to the buyer. If you charge $5 for shipping on a $25 item, the transaction fee applies to $30, not $25.
That adds $0.33 to the bill. Not huge — but it stacks, and it catches sellers off guard when they price without accounting for it.
