This is a reply I made on a similar post:

There’s a one-time set up fee of $15 and an optional $10 monthly charge if you want Etsy Plus for extra customisation and other features, but other than that there isn’t a maintenance fee.

For items there’s the 20 cent listing fee (that requires renewal every 4 months), then if you sell something there’s a processing fee (3.0% of the order total plus $0.25), transaction fee (6.5% of item total), and if the sale was made through Etsy’s Offsite Ads then they take 15% of the order total (everyone is automatically signed up to this, but you can opt-out). You can also optionally do Etsy Ads which will incur more costs, and starts with a default minimum of $1 per day. I’ve USD for all the numbers.

This is Etsy’s page about their fees:

When I was looking at how to set one up a few weeks ago it was alike a $30 setup fee

[Merlin1]

When I tried it was like a $20 set up fee but then it ended up being like $30 with the patterns. And then of course I realized I was too young to have an Etsy so I gave up on the idea

i can also vouch that i had to pay $20 to set mine up! and then there is the 20 cent listing fee.

I just checked and apparently the set-up fee varies from $15 to $29 USD depending on where you are (those figures came from a different site, Etsy doesn’t want to commit to a number and just say that it depends on your location).

Also, the 20 cent listing fee applies every time you sell a pattern and not just when you make the listing (if you’ve put down multiple quantities). If you don’t sell anything then it needs renewing after 4 months.

I had an Etsy shop once, but there was just so much competition that I closed it after a few months. Gud luck on yours tho!
