Working it out…
How this is worked out
All percentage fees are taken from the order total you charge before tax: the item price plus the shipping you charge.
Order total = item price + shipping charged
Selling fee = the larger of (selling fee % × order total) and the minimum selling fee
Payment and per-order fee = processing % × order total + fixed fee (the small-order fee when the order total is at or under the small-order limit)
Advertising = ad fee % × order total, no more than the cap
Plan, per order = monthly plan ÷ orders a month
You receive = order total − all of the above
Assumptions and limits
- Presets are for sellers based in the United States, in US dollars. In any other currency they are not converted. Sellers in other countries pay different payment processing rates, and some pay currency conversion and regulatory fees on top. Change the fields to match your own fee statement.
- Choosing another currency changes the symbol only. A $0.20 Etsy listing fee is not converted into NZ dollars.
- Sales tax is left out. Etsy’s payment processing fee is charged on the full sale including tax, so a taxed sale pays a little more than shown.
- eBay works its 13.6% final value fee on the total including sales tax, so a taxed eBay sale pays about 13.6% of the tax more than shown.
- One item per order. Etsy’s listing fee is charged per item sold, so a two-item order pays it twice.
- eBay’s rate above $7,500 per item and Etsy’s optional services (Etsy Ads, Share and Save, Pattern, shipping labels) are not included.
- Shopify, PayPal, Square and Stripe are not presets because their US rates could not be confirmed on their own pages on the day of checking. Use "My own figures".

Questions sellers ask
How much does Etsy take from a $20 sale?
$2.35 on a $20 item with free shipping, if you are a US seller and the sale did not come from an Offsite Ad: the 6.5% transaction fee is $1.30, payment processing at 3% + $0.25 is $0.85, and the listing fee is $0.20. You receive $17.65. If the sale came from an Offsite Ad, add 15% ($3.00), and you receive $14.65.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. Etsy says the 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total cost of the item along with shipping and gift wrap. Moving the cost of shipping into the item price does not avoid it.
What are Etsy Offsite Ads and what do they cost?
Etsy advertises listings on other sites and charges a fee only when a sale comes from one of those ads: 15% of the order for shops that made under $10,000 in the past 365 days, 12% for shops at or above $10,000. The fee on one order never exceeds $100. Choose the Offsite Ad preset to see the effect on a sale.
Is eBay cheaper than Etsy for 3D prints?
Not at typical 3D print prices. On a $20 order eBay’s 13.6% final value fee plus the $0.40 per-order fee comes to $3.12, against $2.35 on Etsy. A sale from an Etsy Offsite Ad reverses that. The table under the result compares every preset at your own price.
Why are Shopify and PayPal not listed?
We only add a preset after reading the rate on the company’s own page. On the day of checking, Shopify’s and Stripe’s pricing pages showed New Zealand rates and PayPal’s fee page refused to load, so there is no US figure we could confirm. Choose "My own figures" and enter the rates from your account.
