Questions
How much does Etsy take from a sale?
$0.20 listing fee + 6.5% transaction fee on item price and shipping + 3% + $0.25 payment processing on the order total (US bank). Example: on a $50 item with $8 buyer-paid shipping and no sales tax, Etsy keeps about $5.96 and you receive $52.04.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The fee is worked out on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
What is the most I should pay for an item to resell on Etsy?
Work backwards from the sale price: payout after fees, minus your shipping label, packaging and other costs, minus the profit you want. The calculator above shows this as the max buy price. Pay more than that and the flip misses your target.
Are these Etsy fees current?
They match Etsy's published fee page as of October 2026 for US sellers in standard categories. Fees change, so check Etsy's fee page before you price.
