What to list at
| List at | |
|---|---|
| To keep $20.00 | $22.60 |
| To keep $40.00 | $44.70 |
| To keep $75.00 | $83.37 |
| To keep $100.00 | $110.99 |
Work backwards from what you need to keep, rather than adding a percentage to the price. Fixed fees and minimums mean the two do not come out the same.
What to watch for
- The transaction fee also applies to the shipping you charge.
- A listing lasts four months or until it sells, then renews for another $0.20. Stale listings keep costing you.
- Offsite Ads take 15% when a sale comes from one, and currency conversion adds 2.5%.
- Etsy only allows handmade items, vintage items at least 20 years old and craft supplies, so check the item qualifies before you pay to list it.
How to keep more
- Turn off automatic renewal on listings you no longer want live.
- Check the Offsite Ads rules for your shop before you set tight prices.
- Price with the shipping fee in mind.
