Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge UK sellers?
A listing fee for each item, a transaction fee on the order total including postage, a payment processing fee of a percentage plus a fixed amount, and a regulatory operating fee. Offsite Ads add a percentage when a sale comes from one. Check the official fees page for the current rates.
Why are the rates editable?
Etsy changes its fees and some are set in dollars, so a fixed table would soon be out of date. Change any box to match the fees page and your own account.
Does the transaction fee include postage?
Yes, the fees are charged on the order total, which includes the postage and any gift wrapping you charge for.
Does this include VAT or income tax?
No. VAT on fees for registered sellers and income tax on your profit are not included.
