Etsy US Fee Structure 2025
US sellers enjoy the lowest payment processing fees on Etsy. Here’s the complete breakdown:
| Fee Type | Rate | Applied To |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Fee | 6.5% | Item price + shipping + gift wrap |
| Payment Processing | 3% + $0.25 | Total order amount |
| Listing Fee | $0.20 | Per listing (expires after 4 months) |
| Offsite Ads | 15% / 12% | Only if sale came from Etsy ads |
| Regulatory Fee | None | US has no regulatory operating fee! |
Example: $50 Sale with $5 Shipping
| Fee | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Fee | ($50 + $5) × 6.5% | $3.58 |
| Payment Processing | ($50 + $5) × 3% + $0.25 | $1.90 |
| Listing Fee | Per listing | $0.20 |
| Total Fees | $5.68 | |
| You Keep | $55 - $5.68 | $49.32 |
Effective fee rate: 10.3% of the $55 order total.
Why US Etsy Fees Are the Lowest
- 3% payment processing - Lowest rate globally (UK and EU pay 4%)
- No regulatory operating fee - Unlike UK (0.32%), Canada (1.15%), or France (0.47%)
- No VAT on seller fees - European sellers pay 19-20% VAT on their Etsy fees
Offsite Ads: Should You Opt Out?
Etsy advertises your products on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. If someone clicks and buys within 30 days:
- Under $10,000/year: Pay 15% fee — but you CAN opt out!
- Over $10,000/year: Pay 12% fee — mandatory, cannot opt out
Opt-Out Strategy
If you’re a new seller or sell under $10,000/year, consider opting out of Offsite Ads:
- Go to Shop Manager > Marketing > Offsite Ads
- Click Manage settings
- Toggle off Offsite Ads
This saves you the 15% fee, though you may get fewer sales from external traffic.
Etsy vs Other Platforms for US Sellers
| Platform | Total Fees | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Etsy | ~10% | Handmade, vintage, craft supplies |
| eBay | ~13.6% | General reselling, collectibles |
| Poshmark | 20% | Fashion, clothing |
| Mercari | ~13% | General items, local sales |
| Amazon Handmade | ~15% | Artisans who want Amazon traffic |
Etsy’s fees are competitive for handmade sellers, especially with the lower payment processing rate in the US.
Tips to Maximize Your Etsy US Profits
- Price shipping into items - Etsy promotes “free shipping” listings, but fees apply either way
- Use multi-quantity listings - One $0.20 fee covers multiple quantities
- Renew strategically - Listings auto-renew (another $0.20) when sold or every 4 months
- Bundle items - Larger orders spread the fixed $0.25 processing fee
- Track your numbers - Use this calculator to verify profit margins before listing
