How Etsy UK fees work
Etsy charges UK sellers multiple fees per transaction: a £0.15 listing fee (per item, every 4 months), a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price including shipping, a 4% + £0.20 payment processing fee, and a 0.32% UK regulatory operating fee. If you're not VAT-registered, Etsy adds 20% VAT on top of all fees. Optional offsite ads add 15% if they generate a sale.
These fees compound. On a £10 item with £3.50 shipping, total fees can reach £1.80–£2.20 depending on your VAT status — that's 13–16% of the sale. Most sellers underestimate the impact because the fees are split across multiple line items in their Etsy payment account.
Understanding your true fee burden per sale is the first step to pricing correctly. If you're selling handmade products, your production cost plus Etsy fees must leave enough margin to cover your time and overheads. Use this calculator before setting prices — not after.
