How the fees are calculated
Etsy charges $0.20 to publish a listing (converted to your currency) and again for every extra unit sold from the same listing. When an order arrives, Etsy takes a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap.
Payment processing for shops with a bank account in United Kingdom costs 4% + £0.20 per order, calculated on the total including shipping, and Etsy adds a regulatory operating fee of 0.48%. If the buyer came from an Offsite Ad, add 15% (or 12% for shops above $10,000 a year), never more than $100 per order.

Questions
- Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
- Yes. The transaction fee and payment processing are calculated on the item price plus the shipping you charge.
- Can I avoid Offsite Ads fees?
- Only shops that have never made $10,000 in 365 days can opt out. Larger shops pay a discounted 12%, and only on orders that came from an ad.
- Why does my payout differ slightly?
- Listing and Offsite Ads caps are set in US dollars and converted at the rate of the day; VAT on fees depends on whether your shop has a VAT number.
