Comparison

Amazon vs Etsy Fees

Amazon and Etsy represent very different selling environments, and their fee structures can tell two different stories about the same sale.

Use this comparison to see how a referral-driven fee baseline differs from Etsy's layered marketplace structure before you commit inventory or pricing.

How to use this page

Start with a realistic sale amount, work through any optional controls that match your setup, and use reverse mode when you need a fast pricing target instead of a payout estimate.

Comparison pages keep the inputs shared on purpose, which makes the difference easier to understand than switching between separate calculators or separate browser tabs.

FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Does this include Amazon fulfillment costs?

No. The Amazon side of this page uses a simplified seller fee baseline and excludes fulfillment, storage, and ad spend.

Why compare these two platforms at all?

Because the same product can feel viable or weak depending on channel economics, and payout is an easy first screen before deeper operational analysis.
