What does Etsy take at different Australian sale prices?
Because most fees are percentages but the listing fee and the fixed part of processing are flat, the effective rate shrinks as the order grows. GST at 10% is applied to the fee subtotal and included below. Examples assume free shipping and no Offsite Ads.
| Sale price | Listing | Transaction (6.5%) | Processing | Total Etsy takes (incl. GST) | Effective % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $0.30 | $0.98 | $0.70 | $2.17 | 14.5% |
| $38.00 | $0.30 | $2.47 | $1.39 | $4.58 | 12.0% |
| $76.00 | $0.30 | $4.94 | $2.53 | $8.55 | 11.2% |
| $150.00 | $0.30 | $9.75 | $4.75 | $16.28 | 10.9% |
Shipping you charge the buyer is part of the order total, so an A$30 item with A$6 shipping is calculated on A$36, not A$30. The calculator above handles that automatically.
Which Etsy fee do Australian sellers underestimate most?
GST on fees. It never appears in US-focused advice, yet it adds a tenth to every Etsy fee you pay. A fee stack that looks like 9.5% is really about 10.5% after GST, and that gap is pure margin.
Second is the Offsite Ads fee, because it is invisible until it hits: any order within 30 days of an ad click carries an extra 12% or 15% plus GST. Use the toggle above to stress-test: if your price only works at 0%, one ad order can wipe out the sale.
