Etsy sellers are charged a variety of fees, depending on the type of Etsy shop they have and the services they use. The main Etsy fees are:
Listing Fees: Etsy charges a listing fee for each item listed in an Etsy shop. The initial charge is $0.20 and Etsy does not charge a percentage of the final sale price. Etsy also charges sellers to renew items that have been sold or expired, this too is a flat rate fee depending on the type of listing.
Transaction Fees: Etsy takes 5% from every transaction as a transaction fee, plus another 3-5 cents if you use Direct Checkout through Etsy. Direct Checkout allows buyers to pay with credit cards without leaving the Etsy website. If you accept credit cards directly on your own site (not via Etsy), then there are no additional fees deducted from any part of your sale.
Payment Processing Fees: Etsy charges sellers 2.5% of the total order value plus 25 cents whenever a buyer uses Etsy's Direct Checkout to pay for an item. If you use a different payment processing system, such as PayPal or Google Wallet, then you are responsible for all fees associated with those services.
Shipping Fees: Etsy's shipping fees depend on the shipping carrier, and the origin, destination, weight, and dimensions of the package.
