Etsy Fees for Sellers in Australia — Per Item, Per Month, Per Sale
How much does Etsy charge per item in Australia?
Etsy charges AU$0.20 per listing — this is the listing fee paid when you publish an item. It applies regardless of whether the item sells. Each listing is valid for 4 months or until sold. If the item sells, you pay the transaction fee (6.5%) and payment processing fee (3% + AU$0.25) on top of the AU$0.20 listing fee.
How much does Etsy charge per month for Australian sellers?
There is no monthly fee for a standard Etsy account in Australia. You only pay when you list (AU$0.20) or when you make a sale. Etsy Plus is an optional subscription at approximately AU$15/month (based on $10 USD) — it is not required to sell. Your total monthly Etsy costs depend entirely on how many items you list and how many sales you make.
Etsy fees Australia vs US — what is the difference?
The fee structure is very similar between Australia and the US. Both countries pay 3% + local fixed fee for domestic payment processing and have no regulatory operating fee. The main differences are:
| Fee | 🇦🇺 Australia | 🇺🇸 United States |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | AU$0.20 | $0.20 USD |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | 6.5% |
| Payment processing (domestic) | 3% + AU$0.25 | 3% + $0.25 USD |
| Regulatory fee | None | None |
| Tax on Etsy fees | 10% GST | None |
| Payout currency | AUD to AU bank | USD to US bank |
The GST difference is the key cost gap — US sellers pay no tax on Etsy’s fees while Australian sellers pay 10% GST on top. If you are GST-registered in Australia (ABN holders with over AU$75,000 annual turnover), you can claim this GST back through your Business Activity Statement (BAS).
