Etsy charges a 5% commission on sales. This fee applies to the total of the listing value, shipping costs, and gift wrap. Etsy also charges a $0.20 listing fee per item.
Additional Costs and Budgeting
But there are other potential fees like Etsy advertising and currency conversion. Offsite ads can add another 15% fee.
You can set a maximum $25 daily budget for ads. Etsy recalculates this limit weekly or monthly. The cost per click depends on an auction system.
Pricing Strategies
To save money, consider increasing prices. Many Etsy sellers underprice.
Etsy deposits your earnings into your Etsy Payments account then transfers funds to your bank account.
