Listing fee is a flat $0.20 per listing, charged again on renewal.
Transaction fee is 6.5% of the order total — and the order total includes the shipping you charge, which is the part people miss.
Payment processing varies by country: 3% + $0.25 in the US, 4% + £0.20 in the UK.
Offsite Ads is 15% of the whole order, or 12% once you pass $10,000 in a year, and it only applies to orders that came from an Etsy ad.
This covers the marketplace's side only. To see what you actually keep, put the same price into the print-on-demand profit calculator with your base cost, the printer's postage and your real returns rate. What print-on-demand really costs per shirt works the whole chain line by line on three price points, including what Offsite Ads does to a thin margin.
