does etsy take a cut

Hi there,

Welcome to Etsy!

Etsy charges two types of fees: listing fees and transaction fees.

Listing fees are charged for each item you list on Etsy. The fee is $0.20 USD for one listing, and it's charged once, when you first list the item.

Transaction fees are charged for each sale you make on Etsy. The fee is 6.5% of the total sale price, and it's charged when the sale is completed.

So, to answer your question, yes, Etsy does take a cut of each sale. The cut is 6.5% of the total sale price.

Here's an example:

If you sell an item for $100, Etsy will charge you a listing fee of $0.20 and a transaction fee of $6.50.

Your total earnings from the sale will be $93.30.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck with your Etsy shop!
