Etsy Fee Calculator Australia
If you sell from Australia, Etsy takes a 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + A$0.25 for processing on Australian orders (4% + A$0.25 on international ones) and USD 0.20 per listing. There's no regulatory operating fee. Then it adds 10% GST to all of it unless you've given Etsy a VAT ID. On an A$30 sale, that's about A$3.73 in fees, not the A$3.39 the listed rates add up to.

Summary
What Etsy really takes from an A$30 sale
| Fee | No VAT ID on Etsy | VAT ID added |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | A$0.29 | A$0.29 |
| Transaction fee (6.5%) | A$1.95 | A$1.95 |
| Payment processing (3% + A$0.25) | A$1.15 | A$1.15 |
| GST on fees (10%) | A$0.34 | A$0.00 |
| Etsy's total | A$3.73 | A$3.39 |
| Share of the sale | 12.4% | 11.3% |
Both columns are an A$30 order to an Australian buyer, with no shipping charged and no ads. GST is the only line that changes. The biggest fee isn't GST, though. It's the transaction fee: A$1.95, more than half of Etsy's cut.
Processing is the one Etsy fee in Australia that depends on where your buyer lives. On this order it's A$1.15 for a buyer in Australia and A$1.45 for a buyer anywhere else, and GST on the difference adds another 3 cents. If a big share of your orders ship overseas, price for the 4% rate, not the 3% one.
Do you pay GST on Etsy fees?
Yes, on every fee, until you give Etsy a VAT ID. Etsy uses the name VAT ID in Australia too, even though the tax here is GST. Either way, an invoice arrives on the first of each month: it lists last month's fees and the GST Etsy charged on them, or says it charged none.
If you aren't registered for GST, that 10% is a cost: only registered businesses can claim GST credits, in their business activity statement (BAS). It comes off your margin, not your buyer's wallet, so it belongs in your price.
