Etsy Seller Fees Explained — USA 2026

Etsy charges US sellers four core fees on every sale: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee, and — if Offsite Ads applies — a 12% or 15% advertising fee on ad-driven sales.

Unlike sellers in the UK, Europe, or Turkey, US sellers pay no regulatory operating fee and no tax on Etsy's service fees. Sales tax on orders is collected and remitted automatically by Etsy in all US states — charged to the buyer and does not affect your payout.

The listing fee of $0.20 applies when you publish or renew a listing. Each listing stays live for four months or until the item sells. Multiple quantities sold from one listing each generate a new $0.20 renewal fee.

Etsy Offsite Ads — What US Sellers Need to Know

Offsite Ads is the fee US sellers most frequently overlook. When Etsy advertises your listings on Google Shopping, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or Bing and a buyer purchases within 30 days, you are charged an Offsite Ads fee on that sale.

  • 15% — if your shop earned less than $10,000 USD in the past 12 months. Participation is optional.
  • 12% — if your shop earned $10,000 USD or more. Participation is mandatory.
  • Maximum fee per order: $100 USD
  • Fee applies to sale price only — not shipping
Real cost example: On a $50 Offsite Ad sale (15% rate): $0.20 listing + $3.25 transaction + $1.75 processing + $7.50 Offsite Ads = $12.70 total. You keep $37.30. To opt out (if under $10k/year): Shop Manager → Marketing → Offsite Ads → turn off.

FAQs on Etsy Fee USA

Frequently Asked Questions — Etsy Fees USA 2026

What is the Etsy listing fee in the USA in 2026?
The Etsy listing fee for US sellers is $0.20 per item. Each listing is active for four months or until the item sells. If a listing expires unsold, it can be renewed for another $0.20. The fee is charged when the listing is published — it is not refunded if the item does not sell.
What is the Etsy payment processing fee in the USA?
Etsy charges US sellers 3% + $0.25 per transaction through Etsy Payments, applied to the total order value including any shipping you charge the buyer. The US rate is the lowest processing rate globally — EU and UK sellers pay 4% + a fixed fee.
Does Etsy collect sales tax for US sellers?
Yes. In all 50 US states, Etsy automatically collects and remits sales tax on your behalf under marketplace facilitator laws. The sales tax is paid by the buyer and does not affect your payout. You do not need to register for sales tax in states where Etsy collects on your behalf.
Do US Etsy sellers pay a regulatory operating fee?
No. US sellers pay no regulatory operating fee, making the US one of the cheapest Etsy markets globally. Sellers in the UK pay 0.25%, Germany 0.29%, France 0.47%, and Turkey 2.27% as an additional regulatory fee on every transaction.
How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale in the USA?
On a $100 sale with no shipping, Etsy deducts $9.95: listing fee $0.20 + transaction fee $6.50 (6.5%) + payment processing $3.25 (3% + $0.25). Your payout before product cost is $90.05. If the sale came from an Offsite Ad at 15%, add $15.00 — total deductions $24.95, payout $75.05.
Can I avoid the Offsite Ads fee on Etsy?
Only if your shop earns less than $10,000 USD per year. Below this threshold, Offsite Ads is optional — opt out in Shop Manager → Marketing → Offsite Ads. Once your shop crosses $10,000 in annual revenue, participation is mandatory and cannot be turned off.
How does Etsy’s 6.5% transaction fee work?
The 6.5% transaction fee is charged on the total order value — item price + shipping you charge + gift wrap. It does not apply to sales tax collected by Etsy. A $50 item with $10 shipping incurs 6.5% on $60 total ($3.90), not just the $50 item price.
