Understanding Etsy Australia Fees

Selling on Etsy Australia comes with its own set of fees and costs. Whether you’re a new seller or an established shop owner, understanding these fees is crucial for managing your profits. Below, we break down the key fees you’ll encounter as an Etsy seller in Australia, including listing fees, transaction fees, and payment processing fees.

Types of Etsy Australia Fees

Etsy charges several types of fees for Australian sellers, including listing fees, transaction fees, and payment processing fees. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each:

Fee Type	Cost	Description
Listing Fee	0.32 AUD per listing	This fee is charged when you list an item on Etsy, regardless of whether it sells. Listings expire after 4 months. If you sell multiple quantities of the same item, you’ll be charged 0.32 AUD for each additional quantity.
Transaction Fee	6.5% of the total order amount	This fee applies to the total order amount, including shipping and gift wrapping fees. It’s separate from the payment processing fee charged by Etsy Payments or PayPal.
Payment Processing Fee (Domestic)	3% + 0.25 AUD	For domestic sales, Etsy Payments charges a fee of 3% of the total sale price plus 0.25 AUD. This fee includes the item price, shipping, and any applicable taxes.
Payment Processing Fee (International)	4% + 0.25 AUD	For international sales, the payment processing fee increases to 4% of the total sale price plus 0.25 AUD.
Offsite Ads Fee	15% (if under $10,000 in sales) 12% (if over $10,000 in sales)	This fee applies to orders generated through Etsy’s Offsite Ads program. The fee is capped at $100 AUD per order.
Etsy Ads Fee	Varies	You can set your own budget for Etsy Ads, which promote your listings in Etsy search results.

Additional Fees and Considerations

In addition to the fees above, there are a few other costs and factors to keep in mind when selling on Etsy Australia:

Set-Up Fee: A one-time, non-refundable fee may apply when opening your shop. The cost varies by location and is displayed during the shop set-up process.
Currency Conversion Fee: If you list items in a currency different from your payment account currency, Etsy charges a 2.5% fee for currency conversion.
VAT (Value Added Tax): Depending on your location and the buyer’s location, VAT may apply to certain transactions. Check Etsy’s VAT guide for more details.

Managing Your Payment Account

Your Payment account is where all your sales, fees, and taxes are calculated and displayed. If you’re enrolled in Etsy Payments, fees are automatically deducted from your sales. If your balance is negative at the end of the month, you’ll receive an email from Etsy with the amount due by the first of the next month.

Domestic Sales: PayPal charges 2.6% + 0.30 AUD per transaction.
International Sales: An additional 1.0% fee applies to international transactions.
