Fee breakdown
Etsy Seller Fees Explained
Understanding Etsy's fee structure helps you price products competitively while maintaining profitability on the platform.
Transaction Fee
Etsy charges a transaction fee of 6.5% of the item price (including shipping if you charge for it). This fee is applied to each sale and is one of the main fees sellers pay on Etsy. The transaction fee covers Etsy's marketplace services and platform maintenance.
Payment Processing Fee
Etsy charges a payment processing fee of 3% plus a fixed fee (varies by country) for each transaction. This fee covers payment processing services. For sellers in India, the payment processing fee is typically 3% of the transaction amount plus a small fixed fee.
Listing Fee
Etsy charges ₹0.20 (or equivalent in local currency) per listing. Each listing lasts for 4 months or until the item sells. If your item sells, you pay the listing fee. If it doesn't sell within 4 months, you can renew it for another ₹0.20. Listing fees are non-refundable.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs depend on your fulfillment method. You can offer free shipping, charge customers for shipping, or use calculated shipping based on location. Shipping costs should be factored into your pricing strategy to maintain profitability.
Packaging Costs
Costs for packaging materials, boxes, bubble wrap, labels, and handling. These costs can add up, especially for fragile or custom items. Factor packaging costs into your product pricing to ensure profitability.
VAT/GST
Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) may apply depending on your location and customer location. In India, GST is typically 18% for most products. Etsy may collect and remit taxes on your behalf in some regions, but sellers should account for tax impact on pricing.

How is the Etsy transaction fee calculated?
The Etsy transaction fee is 6.5% of the item price, including shipping if you charge for it. For example, if you sell an item for ₹1,000 with ₹100 shipping, the transaction fee is 6.5% of ₹1,100 = ₹71.50. This fee is automatically deducted from your payment.

-
How do I calculate the right selling price on Etsy?
Start with your product cost, add all Etsy fees (transaction fee 6.5%, payment processing fee 3%, listing fee ₹0.20), shipping and packaging costs, VAT/GST if applicable, and your desired profit margin. Use the calculator to test different selling prices and see how they affect your profit. Aim for a profit margin of 30–50% after all fees.
-
What is break-even price and why is it important?
Break-even price is the minimum selling price at which you cover all costs (product cost, Etsy fees, shipping, packaging, etc.) with zero profit. Below this price, you make a loss. It's crucial for pricing decisions because it sets the floor for your selling price. Always price above break-even to ensure profitability.
-
What is the difference between profit margin and ROI?
Profit margin is profit as a percentage of selling price (profit ÷ selling price × 100). ROI (Return on Investment) is profit as a percentage of your product cost (profit ÷ product cost × 100). Both metrics help evaluate pricing strategies: margin shows efficiency on revenue, while ROI shows return on your investment.
-
Can I reduce Etsy fees?
Etsy fees are fixed and cannot be negotiated. However, you can optimize by: pricing strategically to account for fees, offering free shipping (but include shipping cost in item price), minimizing listing renewals by pricing competitively, and focusing on higher-margin products. Use the calculator to find optimal pricing.
-
Do I need to pay VAT/GST on Etsy sales?
VAT/GST requirements depend on your location and customer location. In India, GST may apply to your sales. Etsy may collect and remit taxes on your behalf in some regions, but sellers should account for tax impact on pricing and margins. Consult with a tax advisor for specific requirements.
