Etsy charges 6.5% transaction fee on shipping too

Before you ask
A listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the sale price including shipping, payment processing of roughly 3% plus a fixed amount, and for some sellers a mandatory offsite ads fee of 12–15% when a sale comes through Etsy advertising.
Etsy advertises listings externally and charges when a sale results. Shops under a revenue threshold can opt out; above it participation is mandatory, and the fee can be the largest single deduction on a sale.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to shipping as well as the item price, so inflating postage to hide costs does not avoid the fee.
Price for 40–50% gross margin before fees. Handmade sellers routinely underprice labour, and once Etsy takes 15–25% in combined fees a thin margin leaves nothing for the maker.
