So how much does Etsy really take?
On a typical $28 item with $5 shipping, Etsy's listing, transaction and payment fees come to about $3.59 — roughly 11% of the order (~13% of the item price alone). Add Offsite Ads and an attributed order can lose 15% more. The fees scale with price, which is why pricing "by gut" quietly erodes your margin — work backward from the take-home you want instead.
