Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does eBay charge fees on shipping charges?

Yes. eBay assesses its Final Value Fee on the entire total amount paid by the customer, which includes both the item sale price and any shipping charges.

What are Etsy Offsite Ads fees?

Etsy promotes seller listings across platforms like Google and Facebook. If a customer purchases an item through an Offsite Ad, Etsy charges an additional 12% to 15% advertising fee on that order.

How can I protect my profit margins on low-ticket items?

For low-cost products, fixed charges like $0.30 or $0.20 absorb a larger percentage of your revenue. Consider bundling items into multipacks to raise average order values and offset flat transaction fees.
