Publishing a listing costs $0.20 and it lasts for four months or until the item is sold. After the item was sold, there is a transaction fee of 5% base on the total sale price (sale price + shipping price).

If you are enrolled in Etsy Payments, Etsy will also take 3% of the total transaction amount (sale price + shipping price + sales tax) plus $0.25 per order.

For example, the sale price of an item is $100 and the shipping price is $10. Sales tax of the buyer's state is 8%.

Etsy listing fee is $0.20
Etsy transaction fee is ($100 + $10) * 0.05 = $5.50
Etsy payment processing fee is (($100 + $10) * 1.08) * 0.03 + $0.25 = $3.81
Total Etsy fee is $0.20 + $5.50 + $3.81 = $9.51

If you opt for PayPal, then ignore the Etsy payment processing fee. PayPal has its processing fee as stated further below.
