How much does Etsy take from a $50 sale?
Fees on one item with no shipping, a domestic order, not from Offsite Ads, with GST on Etsy's fees (no ID):
| Item price | Etsy fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $10 | $1.27 | $8.73 |
| $25 | $2.79 | $22.21 |
| $50 | $5.33 | $44.67 |
| $100 | $10.40 | $89.60 |
| $200 | $20.55 | $179.45 |
| $500 | $51.00 | $449.00 |
Plus the US$0.20 listing renewal per item, converted at Etsy's rate. Shipping you charge adds 6.5% + 3%. International orders pay 4% processing.
How it works
Etsy charges a seller in Australia several fees on each order. The transaction fee is 6.5% of the item price, the shipping you charge and any gift wrap. Payment processing through Etsy Payments is 3% plus A$0.25 per order on the whole amount the buyer pays, or 4% plus A$0.25 when the order is international. Unlike the UK, Australia has no Regulatory Operating fee. Each item sold renews its listing for 0.20 USD, which Etsy converts to Australian dollars at the market rate; it does not publish that rate, so enter today's rate to include it. If the buyer came from one of Etsy's offsite ads, the Offsite Ads fee is 15% of the order (12% once your shop has passed 10,000 USD in sales over a year), capped at 100 USD per order. Listing in a currency other than Australian dollars adds 2.5%. Etsy's fees are quoted without GST: if you have not given Etsy a GST or VAT ID, it adds GST, at the Australian rate of 10%, to its fees. This calculator does not add GST to payment processing, because Etsy does not say that it does in Australia.
Worked examples
- A $40 print with $10 shipping, domestic, no GST ID: transaction 6.5% × $50 = $3.25, processing 3% × $50 = $1.50 plus $0.25, GST 10% × $3.25 = $0.33. Fees $5.33; you keep $44.67, less the US$0.20 listing renewal.
- The same order to an overseas buyer: processing 4% × $50 = $2.00 plus $0.25, so fees are $5.83 and you keep $44.17.
- A $100 mug from an Offsite Ad at 15%, no shipping, domestic, no GST ID: transaction $6.50, processing $3.25, Offsite Ads $15.00, GST 10% × $21.50 = $2.15. Fees $26.90; you keep $73.10.
Common questions
How much does Etsy take from a sale in Australia?
A 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap, payment processing of 3% + A$0.25 per order (4% + A$0.25 for international orders), and a US$0.20 listing renewal. Without a GST or VAT ID, Etsy adds 10% GST to its fees. On a $50 item with no shipping that is $5.33 plus the listing renewal, so you keep $44.67.
What are Etsy's payment processing fees in Australia?
3% + A$0.25 per order for domestic orders and 4% + A$0.25 for international orders, charged on the whole order including shipping and tax.
Does Etsy charge GST on its fees in Australia?
Yes, unless you have given Etsy a GST or VAT ID. Etsy's fees are quoted without tax; Australian sellers without an ID are charged it on them each month and get a monthly invoice. With an ID, Etsy does not charge it.
Is there an Etsy Regulatory Operating fee in Australia?
No. Etsy's list of countries with a Regulatory Operating fee includes the UK and Canada, but not Australia.
Why is the Etsy listing fee in US dollars?
Etsy sets the listing fee at 0.20 USD and converts it to Australian dollars at the market rate when it is charged. Etsy does not publish the rate, so enter today's rate in the calculator to include the fee; leave it blank and the fee is shown separately in dollars.
What does this calculator leave out?
The one-time shop set-up fee, Etsy Ads (you set a daily budget), Etsy Plus and Pattern subscriptions, postage labels, deposit fees and GST on processing fees. It uses Etsy's Fees & Payments and Etsy Payments policies and its help pages.
