I’m gonna put it out there, because I also need this reminder:

Etsy typically gets 20% of an items end cost (inc shipping).

Check if the seller has their own site before making the sale. That way they’re just out the payment processing fee.

@Asher_Spike On my standalone website, the prices are lower for buyers *and* I still earn more per sale than on my etsy shop - it's win-win!
