Fee figures are verified from Etsy's published US rates as reported by Checkout Page (July 2026). The $40 example is calculated: $0.20 + 6.5% × $46 + 3% × $46 + $0.25, with no Offsite Ad. Offsite Ads are capped at $100 an order and only apply when an Etsy ad made the sale.
Underpriced shipping, Offsite Ads you didn't plan for and listing renewals on items that never sell. The Fix Kit for marketplace sellers covers each one.
