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.
