Etsy vs eBay Fee Comparison

Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee and separate payment processing (3% + $0.25 in the US). eBay bundles most of it into a final value fee of 13.6% for most categories, plus a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 above that, with 250 free listings a month. This tool compares the take-home on the same sale.

No — 13.6% is the rate eBay lists for most categories, but some differ: books, movies and music are 15.3%, and a few specialist categories sit lower. eBay also charges only 2.35% on the portion of a sale above $7,500 per item, and there can be extra fees for below-standard sellers or international sales. 13.6% is a fair baseline for comparison, not a universal rate.
