Etsy payment processing fees by country (2025)
Payment processing fees vary by the seller's country. The 6.5% transaction fee is the same worldwide — only the payment processing component differs:
| Country | Processing % | Fixed fee | Regulatory fee | Total % on $30 sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 3% | $0.25 USD | — | ~10.4% |
| Canada | 3% | $0.25 CAD | — | ~10.4% |
| Australia | 3% | $0.25 AUD | — | ~10.4% |
| United Kingdom | 4% | £0.20 GBP | 0.25% | ~11.4% |
| Germany / Austria | 4% | €0.30 EUR | — | ~11.5% |
| France | 4% | €0.30 EUR | — | ~11.5% |
| Netherlands | 4% | €0.30 EUR | — | ~11.5% |
| Spain / Italy | 4% | €0.30 EUR | — | ~11.5% |
| New Zealand | 3% | $0.25 NZD | — | ~10.4% |
Total % = transaction fee (6.5%) + processing fee (3% or 4%) on a $30 sale, approximate. Fixed fee impact shrinks on higher sale amounts. Source: etsy.com/legal/fees · June 2025

Worked example: every Etsy fee on a real sale
US seller, $29.99 handmade item, $5.99 shipping charged, no Offsite Ads, no Etsy Plus:
Total Etsy fees on this sale: $3.87 (10.75% of buyer payment). Your actual profit depends on product cost, postage, and packaging.
Same sale with Offsite Ads (15%)
Total fees with Offsite Ads: $9.27 (25.8% of buyer payment). If your product costs $10 and shipping costs $5, profit drops to $11.71.
Etsy fees at different sale prices (US)
| Item price | Trans. fee (6.5%) | Payment fee (3% + $0.25) | Listing fee | Total fees | Fee % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $4.99 (digital) | $0.32 | $0.40 | $0.20 | $0.92 | 18.4% |
| $9.99 | $0.65 | $0.55 | $0.20 | $1.40 | 14.0% |
| $19.99 | $1.30 | $0.85 | $0.20 | $2.35 | 11.8% |
| $29.99 | $1.95 | $1.15 | $0.20 | $3.30 | 11.0% |
| $49.99 | $3.25 | $1.75 | $0.20 | $5.20 | 10.4% |
| $79.99 | $5.20 | $2.65 | $0.20 | $8.05 | 10.1% |
| $99.99 | $6.50 | $3.25 | $0.20 | $9.95 | 10.0% |
No Offsite Ads, no shipping charged to buyer (free shipping). Fee % decreases on higher-value items because the $0.25 fixed payment fee becomes proportionally smaller. Digital downloads at $4.99 are disproportionately expensive.
How to reduce Etsy fees
- Use multi-quantity listings. Pay $0.20 once when all stock sells out instead of $0.20 per individual sale. A listing selling 20 units pays $0.20 total vs $4.00 in per-sale renewal fees.
- Opt out of Offsite Ads if eligible. Under $10k/year? Go to Shop Manager → Settings → Offsite Ads → Turn off. Saves 15% on every ad-driven sale.
- Price higher to absorb the fixed payment fee. The $0.25 fixed payment fee is 5% of a $5 item but only 0.25% of a $100 item. Bundling or pricing up reduces the per-sale cost significantly.
- List in your Etsy Payments deposit currency. Avoid the 2.5% currency conversion fee by listing in the same currency as your payout account.
- Skip Etsy Plus if you don't run ads.The $10/month plan includes $5 in ad credits and 15 listing credits ($3 value) — net cost is $2/month if you only use the listing credits, or $5 if you use credits but don't run ads.
Want lower fees? Consider your own Shopify store
Shopify charges 2% + $0.30 (Basic plan, Shopify Payments) — no transaction fee, no 6.5% cut. For sellers at $3,000+/month, the math often favors running a Shopify store alongside Etsy.
