Etsy Seller Fees 2026 — Understand every fee and maximize your handmade business profit.
Etsy's Fees are relatively simple and transparent: a listing fee of $0.20 per item (renewed every 4 months), a transaction fee of 6.5%, a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25, and an Offsite Ads fee of 12%-15% (if traffic comes through Etsy Advertising). Additionally, there is an optional Etsy Plus subscription at $10/month.
For a product priced at $35: Listing fee $0.20 + Transaction fee $2.28 + Payment fee $1.30 + Advertising Cost (if applicable) $4.20-$5.25. Total fee rate is approximately 10%-25%.
Etsy has higher traffic and more targeted buyers. Amazon Handmade has no listing fees but stricter approval processes and significantly less traffic than Etsy.
In 2024, Etsy raised its transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%, the largest fee adjustment to date. Future trends may involve minor adjustments.
