Etsy transaction fee for Handmade
Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on Handmade sales, calculated on the total sale price.
Etsy applies one flat transaction fee across every category, which makes it the simplest take rate to model — but the headline number understates the real cost. Listing fees, payment processing, and optional Offsite Ads fees stack on top and materially change unit economics on low-priced items.
