Etsy fee formula & hidden costs
C$0.25 listing + 6.5% transaction + 3% + C$0.25 payment; payment processing 3.00% + C$0.25; C$0.25 fixed per-order fee
Worked example: $100.00 gross → $10.00 fees → $90.00 net. Reverse gross-up: charge = (target + fixed) / (1 − rate) → to net $100.00 charge $111.05.
Hidden fees to watch
- Offsite Ads are mandatory once you pass $10k/year: 12-15% of the order total, capped at $100.
- The 3% + $0.25 payment fee applies to the tax-inclusive total, so buyers in sales-tax states cost you slightly more.
- The $0.20 listing fee renews every 4 months or on every sale for multi-quantity listings.
- Currency conversion adds ~2.5% if your shop currency differs from your bank currency.
