Why “what is Etsy's commission” is the wrong question
Sellers coming from other marketplaces look for a single commission rate. Etsy does not work that way: a sale is touched by up to five separate fees — the $0.20 listing fee (renewed automatically on every sale), the 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing, Offsite Ads when the order is ad-attributed, and currency conversion when your listing and payout currencies differ. Each looks small; together they routinely add up to 20-30% of the sale. The only number that matters is the total.
The fee most sellers forget: Offsite Ads
Etsy runs off-site ads for your listings on its own and charges 15% (12% for shops above $10,000 in the past 365 days) when an order comes from one of them. You only learn about the fee after the order, and shops above the threshold cannot opt out. The practical defence is to price so that even an ad-attributed sale stays profitable — flip the Offsite Ads switch in the calculator to see whether your price survives it.
Selling from Türkiye: Payoneer and micro-export
Etsy Payments has covered Türkiye since 2020; payouts arrive in USD via Payoneer. Shipping with the micro-export (ETGB) process keeps the sale VAT-free, and an income tax reduction on e-export earnings may apply subject to conditions — details in our guide to selling on Etsy from Türkiye. We deliberately did not embed a Türkiye processing tariff: enter the rate from your own payment statement instead of trusting an unverified number.
After the fees: your real profit
What is left after Etsy's fees is not profit — product cost, packaging and shipping labels still come out of it. Enter your cost in the calculator for net margin, and see also the break-even calculator and the product cost (COGS) calculator.
