Frequently Asked Questions: UK

Did UK Etsy fees change on June 22, 2026?

Yes. Etsy updated the UK Regulatory Operating Fee from 0.32% to 0.48% to align with UK digital services tax costs. This applies to the total order value including postage.

How do UK sellers avoid negative profit margins?

Because Etsy takes 6.5% transaction + 0.48% regulatory + 4% payment processing on buyer postage as well as the item price, UK sellers offering low-cost items with expensive Royal Mail tracking must use algebraic pricing to avoid losing money.
