Etsy payment processing fees, by country
Every Etsy Payments order pays a payment processing fee on top of the 6.5% transaction fee: a percentage plus a fixed amount, set by the country of your bank account. It is 3% + $0.25 in the United States and reaches 6.5% in Brazil and Turkey. On a $30 item with $6 shipping it costs from $1.32 to $3.15 once tax on the fee is added.

In the United States it is 3% + $0.25 per order; in 16 seller countries, most of them in the euro zone, it is 4% + 0.30 EUR; the highest percentage is 6.5%, in Brazil and Turkey.

Do I get the payment processing fee back if I refund an order?
Proportionally. Etsy’s page says: “If you issue a refund for a sale made through Etsy Payments, your payment processing fee will be credited proportionally and applied to the refund amount.”
Is VAT charged on Etsy’s payment processing fee?
Where Etsy charges tax on its fees, yes: “Etsy Payments processing fees are subject to VAT.” The last column of the table adds the rate Etsy charges on its fees in each country.
