Every Etsy fee, explained
An Etsy sale can carry up to six fees. Five depend on your country or your choices; only the first two are the same for everyone.
- Listing fee — $0.20 USD per listing. Charged when you list or renew (listings expire after four months), whether or not the item sells. Etsy converts the $0.20 into your currency. In the worked examples below it is shown as 0.20 in each currency so the countries stay comparable.
- Transaction fee — 6.5% of the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer, plus gift wrap. It is not 6.5% of the item alone.
- Payment processing — a percentage plus a flat fee, set by your bank-account country. Also charged on the item price plus shipping. Canada and Australia charge more for international orders.
- Regulatory operating fee — a percentage that exists only in some countries. Charged on the item price plus shipping. The current rates took effect on 22 June 2026; pages quoting the older rates (UK 0.32%, Canada 1.15%) are out of date.
- Offsite Ads fee — 15%, or 12% if your shop made $10,000+ in the prior 365 days, capped at $100 per order. Only charged when an Etsy offsite ad brought the buyer and they buy within 30 days of the click. Charged on the full order amount.
- Currency conversion — 2.5% of the sale amount, charged only when your listing currency differs from your payment-account currency. List in the currency you are paid in and this fee is never charged.
In some countries Etsy also charges VAT on its fees themselves; the percentages on this page are the fees, before any VAT on fees. Etsy Plus ($10/month) and the one-time shop set-up fee are not per-sale costs and are not included.
The same sale, in 8 countries
One identical sale everywhere: an item priced at 40, plus 5 shipping charged to the buyer — a 45 order — sold to a domestic buyer, with no Offsite Ad. Amounts are in each country's own currency. "You keep" is what remains of the 45 after Etsy's fees, before your materials, labour and shipping costs.
| Seller country | Total Etsy fees on a 45 sale | You keep (before your costs) | Etsy's effective take | Take if an Offsite Ad made the sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States ($) | $4.73 | $40.27 | 10.5% | 25.5% |
| United Kingdom (£) | £5.34 | £39.66 | 11.9% | 26.9% |
| Canada (C$) | C$4.95 | C$40.05 | 11.0% | 26.0% |
| Australia (A$) | A$4.73 | A$40.27 | 10.5% | 25.5% |
| Germany (€) | €5.23 | €39.77 | 11.6% | 26.6% |
| France (€) | €5.74 | €39.26 | 12.8% | 27.8% |
| Italy (€) | €5.59 | €39.41 | 12.4% | 27.4% |
| Spain (€) | €5.62 | €39.38 | 12.5% | 27.5% |
Two things stand out. First, nowhere is the real take anywhere near 6.5% — it is 10.5%–12.8% before Offsite Ads, and roughly a quarter of the sale when an Offsite Ad is involved. Second, the country gap is real money: on this one sale, a French seller pays €1.01 more in fees than a US seller pays in dollars, purely because of where their bank account is.

United States
Payment processing is 3% + $0.25 and there is no regulatory operating fee, which makes the US the cheapest of the 8 countries to sell from on this example. One US-specific detail: for US sellers, the transaction fee does not apply to sales tax.
| Listing fee | $0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of $45 | $2.93 |
| Payment processing — 3% of $45 + $0.25 | $1.60 |
| Regulatory operating fee — none | $0.00 |
| Total Etsy fees | $4.73 (10.5%) |
| You keep, before your costs | $40.27 |
United Kingdom
Payment processing is 4% + £0.20 and the regulatory operating fee is 0.48% — the rate in force since 22 June 2026. Pages still showing 0.32% are using the old rate. The UK trap is currency: list in USD while being paid in GBP and the 2.5% conversion fee applies on top of everything below (see the conversion section).
| Listing fee | £0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of £45 | £2.93 |
| Payment processing — 4% of £45 + £0.20 | £2.00 |
| Regulatory operating fee — 0.48% of £45 | £0.22 |
| Total Etsy fees | £5.34 (11.9%) |
| You keep, before your costs | £39.66 |
Canada
Payment processing is 3% + C$0.25 for domestic orders and orders from the US, and 4% + C$0.25 for other international orders. The regulatory operating fee is 0.50% since 22 June 2026 — down from 1.15%, which many fee pages still quote. Canadian sellers listing in USD should also read the conversion section: the 2.5% fee applies when you are paid in CAD.
| Listing fee | C$0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of C$45 | C$2.93 |
| Payment processing — 3% of C$45 + C$0.25 (domestic / US order) | C$1.60 |
| Regulatory operating fee — 0.50% of C$45 | C$0.23 |
| Total Etsy fees | C$4.95 (11.0%) |
| You keep, before your costs | C$40.05 |
Australia
Payment processing is 3% + A$0.25 for domestic orders and 4% + A$0.25 for international orders, and there is no regulatory operating fee — so a domestic Australian sale costs exactly what a US sale costs in fees. International orders cost more: processing on the example sale rises to A$2.05 and total fees to A$5.40.
| Listing fee | A$0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of A$45 | A$2.93 |
| Payment processing — 3% of A$45 + A$0.25 (domestic order) | A$1.60 |
| Regulatory operating fee — none | A$0.00 |
| Total Etsy fees | A$4.73 (10.5%) |
| You keep, before your costs | A$40.27 |
Germany
Payment processing is 4% + €0.30 and there is no regulatory operating fee. Germany is the cheapest of the euro countries here — the difference to France, Italy and Spain is entirely the regulatory fee.
| Listing fee | €0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of €45 | €2.93 |
| Payment processing — 4% of €45 + €0.30 | €2.10 |
| Regulatory operating fee — none | €0.00 |
| Total Etsy fees | €5.23 (11.6%) |
| You keep, before your costs | €39.77 |
France
Payment processing is 4% + €0.30 and the regulatory operating fee is 1.14% — the highest of the 8 countries — which makes France the most expensive country on this page to sell from. On the example sale a French seller pays €0.51 of regulatory fee alone.
| Listing fee | €0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of €45 | €2.93 |
| Payment processing — 4% of €45 + €0.30 | €2.10 |
| Regulatory operating fee — 1.14% of €45 | €0.51 |
| Total Etsy fees | €5.74 (12.8%) |
| You keep, before your costs | €39.26 |
Italy
Payment processing is 4% + €0.30 and the regulatory operating fee is 0.80%.
| Listing fee | €0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of €45 | €2.93 |
| Payment processing — 4% of €45 + €0.30 | €2.10 |
| Regulatory operating fee — 0.80% of €45 | €0.36 |
| Total Etsy fees | €5.59 (12.4%) |
| You keep, before your costs | €39.41 |
Spain
Payment processing is 4% + €0.30 and the regulatory operating fee is 0.88%.
| Listing fee | €0.20 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of €45 | €2.93 |
| Payment processing — 4% of €45 + €0.30 | €2.10 |
| Regulatory operating fee — 0.88% of €45 | €0.40 |
| Total Etsy fees | €5.62 (12.5%) |
| You keep, before your costs | €39.38 |
The currency conversion trap
The fee most sellers never see coming: if your listing currency differs from your payment-account currency, Etsy charges 2.5% of the sale amount to convert. Take the UK example above and change only one thing — the shop lists in USD instead of GBP. The same 45 sale now carries a conversion fee of 1.13, and total fees rise from 5.34 to 6.47. Nothing about the product changed; 2.5% of every sale simply disappears into the currency mismatch. Etsy's own recommendation is to list in the same currency as your payment account. Our calculator applies this fee automatically in exactly that situation — and never when the currencies match.
