Question 1

How much does Etsy charge per sale in 2026?

Accepted Answer

In 2026, Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price, including shipping and gift wrap. Additionally, there is a listing fee of $0.20 per item and payment processing fees (3% + $0.25 in the US).

Question 2

Why is the final price paid by my customer higher than my listing price?

Accepted Answer

The final price often includes Sales Tax (US) or VAT (International) that Etsy is legally required to collect. This tax is added at checkout and paid by the buyer, so while it increases the total transaction value, it does not affect your profit or listing price.

Yes, the 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total amount paid by the buyer, which includes the shipping price you charge your customer.

How does the currency conversion fee work?

Accepted Answer

If you list your items in a currency different from your payment bank account, Etsy applies a 2.5% currency conversion fee to the total sale amount.
