FAQ
What fees does Etsy charge on a sale?
A transaction fee on the order total, payment processing fees, a listing fee per listing, and sometimes Offsite Ads when the sale comes from an Etsy ad outside the site. Then your returns and income tax.
Why can a 4x ratio still be risky on Etsy?
On a low price, fixed fees weigh a lot, so you keep few dollars per sale. Manifeste flags a product as risky when you keep less than $5 per sale, even at 4x.
Do Etsy fees change?
Yes. The figures on this page are examples: always check the current rates in your Etsy seller account.
