Understanding Etsy US Seller Fees
Understanding Etsy seller fees is essential for accurately calculating your profit. Etsy charges several types of fees for listing items, processing payments, and completing sales. If you use Etsy Payments (required for most US sellers), these fees are automatically deducted from your revenue and displayed in your Payment account.
Types of Etsy Seller Fees (US)
Etsy charges multiple fees when you sell an item, including listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and optional advertising costs. Here’s a complete breakdown of Etsy fees in the United States:
| Fee Type | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Listing | $0.20 | Charged when you list an item, regardless of whether it sells. Listings expire after 4 months. If you sell multiple quantities of the same item, you’ll be charged $0.20 for each additional quantity. |
| Transaction | 6.5% | Applied to the total order amount, including item price, shipping, and gift wrapping (if charged). |
| Payment Processing | 3% + $0.25 | Charged on each transaction made through Etsy Payments. This fee is calculated based on the total sale price, including shipping and sales tax. |
| Offsite Ads | 15% (< $10k sales) 12% (≥ $10k sales) | Applies only when a sale is generated through Etsy’s Offsite Ads. The fee is capped at $100 per order. Sellers who earn $10,000 or more annually are automatically enrolled and cannot opt out. |
| Etsy Ads | Varies | Optional advertising within Etsy search results. You control your daily budget and only pay for clicks. |
| Shipping Labels | Varies | Optional cost if you purchase shipping labels through Etsy. Prices depend on carrier and delivery options. |

Additional Fees and Considerations
In addition to standard Etsy seller fees, there are a few other costs and factors that may affect your total expenses:
- Set-Up Fee – Etsy may charge a one-time, non-refundable fee when opening your shop. The amount varies by location and is shown during the setup process.
- Currency Conversion Fee – If your listing currency differs from your Payment account currency, Etsy charges a 2.5% conversion fee based on the current market rate.
- Sales Tax – Etsy may automatically collect and remit sales tax on your behalf for certain US orders. This does not affect your listing price but may be included in payment processing calculations.
Managing Your Etsy Payment Account
Your Payment account tracks all your sales, fees, and taxes in one place. If you’re enrolled in Etsy Payments, all fees are automatically deducted from your sales before funds are deposited into your bank account.
If your balance becomes negative at the end of the month, Etsy will notify you and the outstanding amount will be due on the first day of the following month.
