An estimate based on Etsy’s published fees. Your Payment account shows the exact fees charged. Fees may be subject to VAT or other taxes in your country; currency conversion (2.5%) isn’t included.
For a US shop, every sale costs the $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee and 3% + $0.25 payment processing. Here’s what that leaves you on one item:
| Sale price | Etsy fees | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $1.40 | $8.60 |
| $20.00 | $2.35 | $17.65 |
| $30.00 | $3.30 | $26.70 |
| $50.00 | $5.20 | $44.80 |
| $75.00 | $7.58 | $67.42 |
| $100.00 | $9.95 | $90.05 |
| $200.00 | $19.45 | $180.55 |
One item, US bank account, no shipping charged, no sales tax and no Offsite Ads, before your own costs. Shipping you charge is also subject to the transaction and processing fees — enter it in the calculator above.
Fees are charged on the whole order, so check a real order — not just the item price.
The payment processing fee depends on where your bank account is.
Item price, quantity, and what you charge for shipping and gift wrap.
Materials, postage you pay, packaging.
Run it once with 15% to see your worst case.
Change price or shipping until the margin is one you can live with.
The fees this calculator includes, as Etsy describes them.
Per listing, for four months. Multi-quantity listings renew for $0.20 after each item sells.
Of the order total: item price plus shipping and gift wrap.
Depends on your bank account’s country — 3% + $0.25 in the US. It also applies to sales tax.
Only on orders from an Offsite Ad click; capped at $100 per order.
A percentage charged to sellers in some countries.
If your listing currency differs from your payment account currency. Not included here.
Some new shops pay a one-time, non-refundable setup fee when opening; the amount depends on your location and is shown during setup. Not per order, so not included here.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus shipping and gift wrap, and payment processing applies to the whole sale. Pricing shipping at cost means paying fees on it.
A listing with several items in stock renews for $0.20 each time one sells, so each item effectively costs a $0.20 listing fee.
It’s an estimate from Etsy’s published fees. Your Payment account shows the exact fees for each order, and some countries add VAT or other taxes to fees.
Payment processing rates are preset only for countries whose rates we could confirm on Etsy’s own pages. For any other country, choose “Other” and enter the rate from your Payment account.

Etsy sends a 1099-K when your Etsy Payments sales reach $20,000 and 200 sales in a year, though some states set lower thresholds. Where to download it, why it shows gross sales before fees, and what to do if you didn’t get one.
Etsy Ads only charge for clicks, from a $1 minimum daily budget, and listings must qualify in search before they can win an ad slot. What clicks cost, why your budget goes unspent, why views stay low, and what to fix first.
On Etsy, the category you choose decides which attributes you can add, and attributes decide whether your listing shows up when buyers filter search. How to choose the most specific category and fill attributes well.
Etsy charges $0.20 to renew a listing when it expires and when a multi-quantity listing sells. When each fee applies, how to switch renewal off, and when keeping it on is worth it.
Only the seller can cancel an Etsy order. Cancelling gives the buyer a full refund and Etsy credits back your listing and transaction fees. The steps, the difference between refunding and cancelling, and the 180-day limit.
Closing your Etsy shop turns your account buyer-only; closing your account and permanently deleting it are separate steps. What you must settle first (balance, open cases, orders), why the Close button can be missing, and how to reopen.
An Etsy instant-download listing can hold up to five files of up to 20MB each, and buyers download them from their Purchases page. File rules, what happens after a sale, and how to choose categories and photos for digital products.
Money from Etsy sales can be held by a payment account reserve, a negative balance, a recent bank change, a missing card or unfinished requirements. How to tell which applies to you.
Etsy verifies new sellers through Persona with a government-issued photo ID and a live selfie. The ID must be current and match the name on your payout bank account. What to prepare, express vs manual review, and what to do if it fails.
When a rights owner reports your listing, Etsy removes it and sends an IP notice. Copyright and trademark reports are handled differently — when a counter notice is possible, and when it isn’t.
Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 pixels wide and tall, and your first photo needs at least 635 pixels or it can rank lower. Ratio, thumbnail crops, file size and why photos look blurry.
On Etsy each seller sets their own return policy, and “no returns” is allowed. But a no-returns policy doesn’t stop a buyer’s case when an item doesn’t arrive or isn’t as described. How it works, and why an order shows as refunded.
Etsy only removes reviews that break its policies — not just because they’re negative. When buyers can leave a review (from the estimated delivery date, for 100 days), how to report or respond to one, and why responding locks the review.
Etsy calculates, collects and remits US sales tax on qualifying orders for sellers anywhere in the world. What “sales tax paid by buyer” means, when your own tax settings still apply, and what you may still have to file.
An Etsy shop name must be 4 to 20 characters with no spaces or special characters, not already taken, and not infringe a trademark. How to check if a name is available, tips for choosing one, and how many times you can change it.
Google decides when to index Etsy shop and listing pages, and new shops can take a while. How to check, what Etsy lets you control (titles and descriptions), and what’s out of your hands.
Usually you missed a criterion at Etsy’s monthly re-check (on the 1st, using the last three months), or have an overdue bill or account issue. How to get it back.
Etsy titles can be up to 140 characters, but Etsy recommends short, clear titles — under 15 words, ideally around 40 characters — because shoppers and Google only see the start.
Vacation mode hides every listing from search until you turn it off. Copy-ready announcement and auto-reply examples, what happens to open orders, how long listings take to return, and what to do if Etsy turned it on.
An inactive Etsy listing isn’t always a removal. How to tell expired from deactivated from removed, where Etsy shows the reason, and when an appeal is possible.
Etsy listings expire after four months and drop out of search completely. Here’s how to find expired listings, renew them, and set auto-renew so it doesn’t happen again.
A new Etsy listing or shop with zero views usually has one of a few causes: it isn’t live, it’s missing basics Etsy checks, or its keywords don’t match real searches.
Most Etsy suspensions come from an unpaid bill, a missing taxpayer ID or unfinished verification and lift once fixed. How to find the reason, fix it, or appeal a permanent one.
Lots of Etsy views and no orders is a conversion problem, not a search problem. Check your numbers, then photos, price and shipping, description and reviews.
Etsy views tanked overnight? Rule out expired listings, vacation mode, notices and recent edits first, then check seasonality, shipping price and customer service.
Etsy counts visits per shopping session and views per listing click, so views are always higher. Why visits update later, drop at the end of the day, and which to use.
Each Etsy listing gets 13 tags of up to 20 characters. How to fill them with phrases shoppers actually search, and the mistakes that quietly waste slots.
