Short answer
A standard Etsy sale costs a US seller about 10%: a 6.5% transaction fee on the whole order including shipping, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and a $0.20 listing renewal. Sales through Offsite Ads add 12 to 15%. On your own shop with Fraya, the same sale costs 1% plus Stripe's card fee (2.9% + $0.30).
Where the money goes
Each Etsy fee looks small on its own. They stack: the transaction fee and payment processing apply to every order, shipping included, and the listing renews every time an item sells. Offsite Ads are the big one, because they apply to sales you may never have asked Etsy to advertise. Your own shop doesn't replace Etsy's marketplace traffic, but every buyer you bring yourself, from Instagram, a market stall or a repeat customer, keeps that 9 to 25% in your pocket.
Straight answers.
How much does Etsy take per sale?
For a US seller, a standard sale costs a 6.5% transaction fee on the whole order (shipping included), 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and a $0.20 listing renewal. On a $45 order that is about $4.73, roughly 10%. A sale that comes through Offsite Ads adds 12 to 15% on top.
What are Etsy Offsite Ads fees?
When Etsy advertises your listing on other sites and a buyer purchases within 30 days of clicking, Etsy charges 15% of that order if your shop made under $10,000 in the last year (you can opt out), or 12% if you made more (you can't opt out). The fee is capped at $100 per order.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing apply to the full order total, including what the buyer pays for shipping and gift wrap.
What does a typical Etsy shop pay in a year?
A shop with 40 orders a month at $45 ($21,600 a year), with 10% of orders through Offsite Ads, pays about $2,527 in Etsy fees, 11.7% of sales. The same sales on your own shop cost about $986, 4.6% of sales. Card processing is about $768 either way; the difference is Etsy's $1,759 in platform fees against Fraya's 1% ($216).
What does selling on your own shop cost with Fraya?
Fraya is free to publish and sell, with a 1% platform fee on sales. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rate (2.9% + $0.30 in the US). There are no listing fees and no ad fees on your own sales.
Can I move my Etsy listings to my own shop?
Yes. Fraya imports your catalog from your Etsy shop URL or a CSV export, with photos re-hosted, so your products, prices and descriptions come across in one step. You can keep selling on Etsy while you move.
