> worked example

You list a $25 item with $5 shipping. Etsy charges $0.20 listing + $1.95 transaction (6.5% × $30) + $1.00 payment processing (3% × $25 + $0.25) = $3.15 in total fees, leaving $21.85. Toggle offsite ads on, Etsy adds another $4.50 (15% × $30), slashing your net to $17.35 and pushing the total fee rate to 26%.

takeaway, Offsite ads can consume a quarter of your order value, price accordingly or opt out if your shop qualifies.

> when operators reach for this

  • Etsy sellers setting item prices who need to see the exact fee stack before listing.
  • Crafters deciding whether to absorb shipping costs or charge buyers, given that transaction fees apply to shipping too.
  • Sellers evaluating whether to opt out of offsite ads (available if under $10k annual revenue) based on realistic margin impact.
  • Side-hustle sellers comparing Etsy's total take vs Shopify + Stripe for their volume tier.
  • New shops building a pricing spreadsheet to ensure every listing hits a minimum net margin.
