Download this breakdown

Selling an item for $60 on Etsy costs $6.15 in fees and leaves $53.85 — an effective rate of 10.25%. That assumes a US seller on Etsy Payments, free shipping, and no ads.

Three separate charges make up that figure: a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total, payment processing at 3% plus $0.25, and a $0.20 listing fee. Change the price, add buyer-paid shipping, or adjust any rate in the calculator above to match your own shop.

The formula

$60.00 × 6.5% + ($60.00 × 3% + $0.25) + $0.20 = $6.15

The transaction fee and payment processing both apply to shipping you charge the buyer as well. For US sellers the transaction fee excludes sales tax; payment processing includes it.

What $60 actually costs you to sell

Etsy takes $6.15 of a $60 sale: $3.90 as the 6.5% transaction fee, $2.05 in payment processing, and the $0.20 listing fee — leaving $53.85 before your own costs. At this size the flat fees barely move the rate: 10.25% all-in.

Remember the listing fee is charged whether or not the item sells, and a listing expires after four months. One slow-moving listing renewed repeatedly quietly adds $0.20 each cycle.

What this figure does not include

These are Etsy's baseline selling fees only. Offsite Ads: 15% of an attributed order, or 12% for shops that made $10,000 or more in the previous 365 days; Etsy Ads budget you set yourself; Shop set-up fee, which varies by location. Offsite Ads, where they apply, add 12-15% on attributed orders. Your own product and postage costs come out of the $53.85 above.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Etsy take from a $60 sale?

$6.15 for a US seller: $3.90 as the 6.5% transaction fee, $2.05 in payment processing (3% + $0.25), plus the $0.20 listing fee. You keep $53.85 before your own costs.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Is the listing fee charged even if nothing sells?

Yes. The $0.20 listing fee is charged when you list, the listing lasts four months, and renewing it costs the same again — sale or no sale.

Is Etsy cheaper than eBay for a $60 sale?

At this exact amount the table above shows both figures side by side. As a rule of thumb Etsy's stack of three fees weighs more on small orders, while eBay's single 13.6% rate is the larger bite as the price grows. The crossover depends on the amount, which is why each page carries the comparison.
