Etsy almost forces ppl to NOT allow low prices for customers; otherwise sellers wouldn't break even, due to fees. Esty is obviously making out nicely, considering most of these fees are charged automatically, so no one at Etsy is actually doing much work but they're collecting massive fees from the people who ARE doing the work - the artisans creating the product.

Listing FEEs, Payment FEEs, Processing FEEs, Click FEEs (you have no way of actually counting on the back end), Shipping FEEs, Label FEEs, Just Because FEEs, Big FEEs, Little I do not have an Etsy shop but I know people who did/do. I'm curious why Etsy doesn't simplify costs for sellers by implementing an annual membership FEE instead to eliminate all the annoying fees. It will definitely simplify the Sellers record keeping and will probably be more cost effective. How can Seller prices be competitive and still make a profit?

I opened my shop in october and only had about 3 sales in the year 2022. Well I recently got 3 sales on a sweatshirt in the same week and just got another sale so things are starting to pick up. The only problem is etsy put my account into a payment reserve and I need that money to fulfill the sweatshirts. The orders always ship on time with USPS tracking so I’m not sure what the problem is, has this happened to you??

Thank you for the information..its just made me go back to starting a wix account. At least with wix I know I just have to pay what I can understand. Way to much fee jargon. Otherwise im glad I found out this information before I got in to deep. Thank you. Most appreciated.

[scorpioable]

Should I open a business account for Etsy or use a personal bank account? I’m trying to decide on which one to use. Thank you any suggestions??

[kk_]

for the off site ads, can I just opt out it completely to avoid the charge?

[carried]

Kate, could you provide more detailed info on how the bid process for ad fees are determined? Thank you for all the other fee info you have provided!

[Divinetraveller]

Thank you for all the information! You'd think understanding all this would be easy, but having guidance is so appreciated. Just want to clarify...Does Etsy take the 6.5% fee after or before tax? I live in Florida, do not accept Etsy Payments, use free shipping...so the only fees I would pay are the 6.5% and the .20 per listing, am I correct? Thank you!

[rickyneeter]

Isnt it true that the 5% shipping fee is always deducted from your account even if you not choose to use etsy's shipping labels? I read on multiple websites that people get transaction fees aswell as shipping fees no matter what

[telsanot_tesla]

As a beginner with print on demand, what’s a decent quantity to start with, if it’s made to order ?

[pummichell]

I thought that the etsy shipping method were fees covered by buyer

I'm use to sell on Mercari, so etsy kind of confuses me but when i sell something on there, i don't need to worry about shipping bc Mercari creates the label (that the buyer paid) and i just download and print. Is it like that as well on etsy or i got it wrong?

[morningaftercoffee]

15% or 12% of what exactly? For each item sold, or the whole profit accumulated (ex: 12% of 10, 000)?

[alanperez]

Quick question does Etsy charge you before you make a sell or do they charge you once you make a sell .please be after

[rickyneeter]

Is there someone who made a calculator with all possible fees? would make life a lot easier

[FlourishFirm]

For the listing fees, we need to pay it after we get an order from buyers or we have to directly pay it after listing our products?

[stacymcvey]

Buyer and seller responsible for sales tax in the us?

[FlourishFirm]

For the listing fees..if we don't get any buyers to buy our product, is the listing fees need to continue pay it?

[senaduran]
