Question 2

What are Etsy's fees in 2026?

Accepted Answer

A $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total including shipping and gift wrap, and a payment processing fee that depends on your bank's country (3% + $0.25 in the US). Offsite Ads add 15%, or 12% once you pass $10,000 in sales over 365 days, capped at $100 an order.

Question 3

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee both apply to shipping you charge. Payment processing also applies to the sales tax on the order.

Question 4

When do I pay the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

Accepted Answer

Only when an order comes from a click on one of Etsy's ads on other sites. The fee is 15% of the order total if you made under $10,000 on Etsy in the past 365 days, and 12% once you pass $10,000. It never exceeds $100 an order. Etsy's Offsite Ads help article covers who can opt out.

Question 5

Is Etsy good for selling digital products?

Accepted Answer

It brings buyers you would not reach yourself, but it is one of the more expensive places to sell a low-priced download because of the fixed $0.20 and $0.25 fees. Compare it with Gumroad, Payhip and your own Stripe checkout in the seller fee comparison.
