Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge UK sellers?
Etsy charges UK sellers four types of fees: (1) Listing fee — £0.16 per listing, renewed every 4 months or when the item sells. (2) Transaction fee — 6.5% on the item price plus any shipping you charge. (3) Payment processing fee — 4% plus £0.20 per transaction when using Etsy Payments. (4) Offsite Ads fee — 15% on any sale generated through an Etsy Offsite Ad (this is mandatory if your shop makes over $10,000 USD/year in revenue). For most sellers, the effective combined fee rate is around 11–13%.
What are Etsy Offsite Ads and can I opt out?
Etsy Offsite Ads are adverts that Etsy places across the web — on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing — promoting your listings. If a buyer clicks the ad and purchases from your shop within 30 days, Etsy charges you an Offsite Ads fee of 15% (or 12% if your shop has earned over $10,000 USD in the past 12 months). If your shop earns less than $10,000 USD per year, you can opt out of Offsite Ads in your shop settings. If you earn above that threshold, participation is mandatory.
How can I reduce my Etsy fees?
Practical ways to lower your effective Etsy fee rate include: (1) Build in all fees when setting prices so you are never selling at a loss. (2) If eligible, opt out of Offsite Ads from your shop settings to avoid the 15% charge on ad-driven sales. (3) Offer free shipping — while the transaction fee still applies to your item price, incorporating postage into the item price can simplify pricing and improve search ranking. (4) Sell higher-priced items where the fixed listing fee (£0.16) has less impact as a percentage. (5) Keep your inventory fresh and avoid renewing listings for items that rarely sell.
