Etsy is an e-commerce platform focused on selling handmade, vintage products and craft supplies. To manage the service and monetize, Etsy charges various fees to sellers. Specific fees may vary slightly based on the seller's country and other factors, but generally include:
1. Listing Fees: Etsy charges a fee for each item you list on the platform, typically $0.20 USD per listing.
2. Transaction Fees: When you sell an item, Etsy takes a percentage of the total sales price, which is generally 5%.
3. Payment Processing Fees: When you use Etsy's payment system, Etsy Payments, there is a fee charged for processing each payment you receive. This varies by country and may include a percentage of the order total plus a small flat fee per transaction.
4. Advertising Fees: You can also sign up for optional services like Etsy Ads, for which you pay an additional fee to get more visibility for your products on Etsy search results.
It is important to note that fees are subject to change and sellers should always check the current fee structure directly on the site or in Etsy's support resources.
