A worked example: what a $40 sale really nets
Say you sell a $40 item with $6 shipping charged to the buyer, using Etsy Payments and no offsite ad. Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the full $46 ($2.99), and a 3% + $0.25 payment-processing fee ($1.63). That is $4.82 in fees on a single sale — roughly 12% of the item price — before you have paid for a single material.
Now assume that same sale came from an offsite ad. Etsy adds 15% of the $46 order total, or $6.90, pushing total fees past $11.70. A product that looked like it had a comfortable margin can lose money the moment an ad drives the sale — which is exactly why the offsite ads toggle above matters so much for thin-margin items.

Frequently asked questions
For a typical sale using Etsy Payments, you pay a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee. Total fees are often 9–12% of the sale value, sometimes higher with offsite ads.
Etsy automatically enrolls shops in offsite ads, which promote listings on Google, Facebook, and other platforms. If a sale results from an offsite ad, Etsy charges an additional 12–15% fee. Sellers above $10,000/year in sales cannot opt out.
Yes. The transaction fee (6.5%) applies to the shipping amount you charge the buyer. So if you charge $5 for shipping, Etsy takes $0.33 from that amount. The payment processing fee also applies to shipping.
Most Etsy fees are fixed and non-negotiable. Offsite ads fees can be opted out of if your annual sales are below $10,000. Some regional fees vary by country.
