Does anyone here have an Etsy ? Are there a lot of fees? Is it worth it?

Question

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Not a ton of fees. It can be worth it depending on what you sell. A lot of homeland crafts are a pretty saturated market

Answer

Not worth it! I sold on Etsy in 2021 before the fees were as high as they are now, but they were still high. I lost money in the beginning. Once I adjusted my pricing so I wouldn’t lose money my products were just to expensive!

Answer

I find etsy to have quite a lot of fees. I don't sell there myself because if it. It ends up being about 20% of each item cost so a lot to me. When i use online to sell i use marketplace or nextdoor or similar but do mostly local and shows. And it is every item sold on etsy so even if a buyer gets 5 items from your shop each item has this breakdown. Here is a general breakdown of fees per sale taken by etsy that I found online. And this is just the fees for any item regardless...there could be other fees depending on the circumstance so its always at least these but may be more. Not worth it to me personally. If you have a huge shop maybe as you could absorb it easier but the fees sunk my sister when she tried etsy.
