Etsy, an online marketplace for independent artists, vintage sellers & craftspeople,[1] charges sellers a transaction fee of 6.5% of the total order amount;[2] from December 16, 2026, its revised Terms of Use will let Etsy & its third-party partners & vendors use content users post, such as listing photos, listing descriptions & reviews, to train artificial intelligence (AI), & the Terms tell users who disagree with the changes that "you may close your account".[3] That right is subject to any applicable opt-out rights described in Etsy's Privacy Policy,[3] but marketplace news site Value Added Resource (VAR) wrote that neither policy names a general mechanism specifically letting US sellers keep their uploads out of AI training while they continue to sell on Etsy.[4]

Thousands of sellers closed their shops in protest the week Etsy raised that fee,[1] from 5% to 6.5% on April 11, 2022.[5] UK small business commissioner Liz Barclay said in 2023 that more sellers were complaining that as much as 75% of their takings had suddenly been held back for at least 45 days.[6]

AI training rights in the 2026 terms

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Etsy AI training terms change (2026)

Etsy published revised Terms of Use on October 26, 2026; they will take effect on December 16, 2026.[3][4] The revised Terms give Etsy "and our third party partners and vendors" the right to use users' content "to develop, train, test and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies", "subject to any applicable opt-out rights described in our Privacy Policy".[3]

Etsy's revised Privacy Policy says Etsy "may also use" uploaded content, "such as listing information, product reviews, and community posts", to train & develop artificial intelligence & machine learning models.[7] Liz Morton, founder & editor of VAR, wrote:

While the updated Terms refer to applicable opt-out rights, neither policy identifies a general mechanism specifically allowing US sellers to exclude their listing photos, descriptions or other uploaded content from AI training while continuing to sell on Etsy.

[4]

The revised Terms say that use of the Services after the effective date of the changes "constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms", & "If you do not agree with the changes, you may close your account."[3] VAR also wrote that because the license is "perpetual and irrevocable", removing a listing or closing a shop "may not terminate" Etsy's contractual permission to use previously uploaded content.[4]

Unsafe and illegal product listings

[edit | edit source]

In As You Sow v. Etsy, Inc. (No. 3:24-cv-04203-MMC), non-profit As You Sow alleged that Etsy "distributes, retails, and/or otherwise facilitates" the sale in California of cosmetic skin lightening creams sold through listings on Etsy.com without the warning it contends Proposition 65 requires for mercury, which it alleges the creams contain.[8] Proposition 65, a California law, lists mercury as a chemical known to the state "to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm".[8] The docket records the consent judgment as "Signed by Judge Maxine M. Chesney on May 2, 2025".[9] From the day it was entered, the consent judgment orders Etsy to prevent third-party sellers from listing the 10 named creams for sale on etsy.com to California consumers, unless Etsy has confirmed a product does not contain mercury.[8] Etsy agreed to pay $24,300 in civil fines & $179,378 in attorneys' fees & costs without admitting liability, while it "denies the material, factual and legal allegations".[8]

UK consumer group Which? listed a plug-in heater on Etsy in 2024 that appeared identical to one recalled by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) in December 2022; it "was able to be listed for sale for over 10 weeks on Etsy".[10] Which? only listed the heaters & did not sell them to any consumers; Etsy said it "reviewed and removed the flagged listing as soon as it was brought to our attention".[10] In November 2025, Which? said it had found nearly 800 products on online marketplaces including Etsy that were similar or identical to items flagged by the OPSS in the last year; Etsy did not respond to a request for comment.[11] A Which? investigation reported by Welsh news site Nation.Cymru in December 2025 found injectable vitamins being sold illegally on Etsy; Etsy said the listings flagged by Which? "are no longer available on our marketplace".[12]

In its 2025 Transparency Report, Etsy says it removed more than 50,000 items "for potential safety reasons, including recalled products" that year.[13] Both the version of Etsy's Terms of Use in effect through December 15, 2026 & the revised version effective from December 16, 2026 state:

You release Etsy from any claims related to items sold through our Services, including for defective items, misrepresentations by sellers, or items that caused physical injury (like product liability claims).

[14][3]

Payment reserves on seller funds

[edit | edit source]

Under a payment account reserve, a percentage of the funds from each new sale of a physical item is held & cannot be deposited within the standard processing time.[15] Etsy says most sellers' reserves are removed within 90 days but may be extended over concerns about order fulfillment or policy violations.[15] Etsy says that, as part of its efforts to keep Etsy secure, Etsy Support "isn’t able to give you the specific reason a reserve was placed on your account", & that Etsy Support agents "aren't able to remove a reserve".[15]

The Guardian reported in 2023 that a seller said Etsy had long applied reserves to new accounts but had begun applying them much more widely, without explanation, from about the end of May.[6] Barclay said she had contacted Etsy after an increase in complaints from sellers, & that one seller who had got in touch was receiving only 60p for every £43.99 item sold.[6] Etsy said that on average, funds held on reserve from most orders became available within two weeks of the order date, that fewer than 2% of active sellers had a reserve on their account at the time, & that for 70% of those sellers the funds on hold were worth less than $50 (£39).[6]

The Indie Sellers Guild, an advocacy group co-founded by Kristi Cassidy, one of the organizers of the April 2022 Etsy seller strike,[16] said in August 2023 that it had filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission & with what it called the "Small Business Association Office of Advocacy".[17]

In a quarterly report dated October 28, 2026, Etsy said it "may expand use of" disbursement holds & other fraud prevention & enforcement mechanisms to prevent & mitigate losses from fraud "even though these restrictions may impact our value proposition for sellers".[18] The Online Sellers' Bill of Rights Act of 2026, introduced in July 2026 by Representatives Becca Balint & Nydia Velázquez,[19] would direct the Federal Trade Commission to adopt rules under which a "critical trading partner" could not withhold disbursement of a seller's funds for more than 30 calendar days unless it "demonstrates, by a preponderance of evidence, that the funds are derived from unlawful transactions".[20] VAR wrote that the proposal is aimed primarily at Amazon & Walmart but is "broad enough to have significant implications for" Etsy & other marketplaces, & that whether Etsy counts as a covered "dominant platform" is "less certain".[19]

2022 fee increase and seller strike

[edit | edit source]

Etsy increased its seller transaction fee from 5% to 6.5% on April 11, 2022,[5] a rise The Guardian called "a 30% increase".[1] Etsy said the higher fee would help bring in more shoppers with increased marketing, increase the size of its support team by over 20% & increase its ability to resolve buyer disputes and get rid of policy-violating listings.[21]

Organizers said over 20,000 Etsy sellers had agreed to go on strike from April 11 to 18, 2022.[21] Strike organizer Kristi Cassidy said more than 22,500 Etsy sellers had joined, & in a letter to Etsy's chief executive, Josh Silverman, she called the move "nothing short of pandemic profiteering".[1] The organizers asked for the fee increase to be canceled & for sellers to be able to opt out of Offsite Ads.[1] Under Offsite Ads, Etsy said it would use its own budget to advertise sellers' items on sites like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Bing, & that sellers would not pay for advertising unless they made a sale.[22]

More than 80,000 people signed a petition outlining the strikers' demands.[16] As of April 2024, the transaction fee was still 6.5%, & Offsite Ads were still required for higher-earning shops.[16]

Mandatory Offsite Ads fees

[edit | edit source]

Etsy announced Offsite Ads on February 26, 2020.[23] When an Etsy-funded ad led to a sale, the seller would pay an advertising fee of 12% to 15% of the order value, capped at $100 per order & depending on the volume of sales the seller had made on Etsy.[22] Craft Industry Alliance, a membership organization for craft professionals, reported that at launch the program was mandatory for higher-earning shops, & that chief executive Josh Silverman said on Etsy's fourth-quarter earnings call: "Many sellers view offsite advertising as risky."[24] Etsy began charging sellers for Offsite Ads in May 2020.[25]

Etsy's annual report for 2022 says the seller pays Etsy a transaction fee on an order when a shopper clicks an offsite ad featuring the seller's listing & buys from the seller's shop within 30 days of that click; Etsy called the program "a win-win for Etsy and our sellers".[26] Etsy's Help Center says a single ad click can lead to several attributed orders, & each order in that 30-day window "may incur an Offsite Ads fee".[27] Sellers cannot choose which of their listings are advertised.[27] The Help Center draws the line at $10,000 in sales in any consecutive 365-day period: a shop that has reached it pays a discounted 12% fee & is "required to participate for the lifetime of your shop", while a shop that has always stayed below it pays 15% & is eligible to opt out.[27]

Etsy reported that in 2022, revenue from the Etsy marketplace's Offsite Ads program offset approximately 32% of its consolidated performance marketing spend, which it defines as paid media spend related to the digital acquisition & re-engagement of buyers.[26]

Resold and mislabeled goods

[edit | edit source]

A Which? investigation reported in April 2023 found rogue sellers on Etsy charging up to seven times more than on other websites for items they falsely claimed were made by hand.[28] Of the 192 "handmade" products it checked, 23 were available on other online platforms or retailers, & all but two had a higher price on Etsy.[28] After Which? shared its findings with Etsy, some of the sellers it identified were removed from the platform.[28] In a statement, Etsy said "Our policies prohibit counterfeit and resold merchandise on Etsy".[28]

On July 9, 2024, Etsy said it had "clarified our policies about what belongs on Etsy" and had "restructured our House Rules to include Etsy’s Creativity Standards", which set out categories of items that can be sold on Etsy based on the seller's role.[29] In an Etsy News post the same day, chief executive Josh Silverman wrote that all items on Etsy must be made, designed, sourced or handpicked by a seller, & that the change was "about clarifying what is allowed on Etsy, not changing it".[30]

The Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute (CCMI), a trade association whose members include cashmere manufacturers,[31] sued Etsy on December 30, 2022,[32] alleging that Etsy engaged in, aided & abetted, & conspired with others to commit "unlawful and deceptive false advertising" of "counterfeit garments advertised, represented, and passed off as" cashmere,[33] then filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on February 3, 2023,[32] which, VAR explained, meant that CCMI could not bring the same claims against Etsy again.[31] Etsy sued CCMI in federal court in New York on December 22, 2025,[34] seeking a declaration that under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, Etsy "is immune" from CCMI's efforts to impose liability on it based on content and information generated by independent third-party sellers about cashmere & cashmere-blend products;[35] a stipulation of voluntary dismissal was filed on March 5, 2026.[34]

Arbitration and class-action waiver

[edit | edit source]

Etsy's Terms of Use dated July 29, 2015 said that any arbitration under them "will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted".[36]

Etsy's Terms dated March 4, 2025 and its revised Terms, last updated October 26, 2026 and taking effect December 16, 2026, both tell users in North and South America that unless they validly opt out, they agree to resolve disputes with Etsy through binding individual arbitration "with only limited exceptions", waiving the right to sue in court, to a jury trial & to take part in a class or representative action.[37][3] Under the revised Terms, a new user can opt out by email within 30 days after first accepting them.[3]

The March 4, 2025 Terms also say that if, within a 90-day period, "25 or more claimants submit Notices of Dispute or file arbitrations raising similar claims" and are represented by "the same or coordinated counsel", the disputes "must be arbitrated in batches of up to 100 claimants each".[37] The revised Terms, effective December 16, 2026, set that trigger at 10 claimants.[3] In Europe, Asia, Australia & Africa, a separate section says an individual consumer "may be entitled to invoke the mandatory consumer protection laws" of their country of residence.[37][3]

Reverb customer data exposure

[edit | edit source]

Technology news site Gizmodo reported on April 29, 2021 that security consultant Bob Diachenko had found an unsecured database run by Reverb, a music gear marketplace that Etsy bought in 2019.[38] Among the user data it held were phone numbers, emails, addresses & order information, and by Diachenko's reckoning the exposure affected 5.6 million customers.[38] It sat on an unprotected Elasticsearch instance, a kind of open-source database that can work as a fast search engine.[38] Reverb sent an email notifying customers of the breach.[38]

Purchase Protection conditions in 2026

[edit | edit source]

Etsy Purchase Protection, announced in June 2022, promised buyers a full refund from August 1, 2022 "in the rare cases" that purchases did not match the item description, arrived damaged, or never arrived.[39]

A 2026 forum post by James Ossman, Etsy's vice president of customer operations,[40] said that from May 7 the program "may now cover buyer refunds of up to $250 USD per eligible order" even when the order total is higher than $250.[41] To qualify, sellers would need to meet Etsy's minimum customer service standards & respond to Help with Order messages within 48 hours.[41] Etsy's Cases Policy lets a buyer alert Etsy by opening a "case" when an order issue is not resolved with the seller within 48 hours.[42] Under the 2026 changes, buyers can only open a case up to 30 days after the estimated delivery date.[41] The policy lets Etsy resolve a case on a seller's behalf by refunding the buyer & "recouping funds from the seller’s account if payment was made via Etsy Payments".[42]

On June 9, 2026, Ossman announced in Etsy's community forum that, from July 9, 2026, non-US sellers would be expected to account for duties & import fees to US buyers upfront in their pricing by using Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping.[43][40] The announcement said orders shipped without duties prepaid "will no longer qualify for Etsy Purchase Protection", & that buyers charged tariffs or collection fees by the carrier are "eligible to be refunded and the charges will be deducted from the seller".[43]

Pixel-tracking privacy lawsuit

[edit | edit source]

White v. Etsy, Inc., case 4:25-cv-05644 in federal court in the Northern District of California, was filed on July 3, 2025.[44][45] The complaint alleges that, without users' consent or a court order, Etsy caused third-party trackers, including the Google Ads/DoubleClick Tracker, Facebook Pixel Tracker, TikTok Tracker & Bing/Microsoft Ads Tracker, to be installed in visitors' browsers, & that it thereby violated section 638.51 of the California Invasion of Privacy Act.[46] It alleges that the third parties operating the trackers collect data including IP addresses, browser & device type, pages visited & referring URLs, & that this information is "used for behavioral profiling, ad targeting, cross-device tracking" & real-time advertising auctions.[46] A notice of voluntary dismissal was filed on October 22, 2025, & the case was terminated the same day.[44]

Company history

[edit | edit source]

Founder Rob Kalin, a woodworker looking for a place to sell his wares, created Etsy in 2005.[47] Kalin & college friends holed up in his Brooklyn apartment for six weeks before launching the first beta version of the site, with Kalin leading design & co-founders Chris Maguire & Haim Schoppik handling programming.[47] Etsy's stock was listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ETSY" from April 16, 2015 to October 10, 2025, & has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since October 13, 2025.[48]

In May 2017, Black-and-White Capital, an activist hedge fund that said it owned about 2% of Etsy, called on Etsy to explore a sale, saying Etsy's sales growth had slowed while costs had increased.[49] Chad Dickerson resigned as president, chief executive officer & chair effective May 3, 2017, & Josh Silverman, a director since November 2016, was appointed president & chief executive officer effective the same day.[50] Announcing the change on May 2, 2017, Etsy said it expected to eliminate approximately 80 positions, approximately 8% of its total workforce.[51]

On October 27, 2025, Etsy's board approved Kruti Patel Goyal, then its president & chief growth officer, as chief executive officer & president, effective January 1, 2026.[52] Silverman "is expected to serve as Executive Chair through December 31, 2026".[52] As of December 31, 2025, the Etsy marketplace had 86.5 million active buyers & 5.6 million active sellers.[48] Etsy counts as active a buyer who has made at least one purchase, or a seller who has had a charge or sale, in the last 12 months.[48] A single person can have multiple buyer or seller accounts, Etsy says.[48]

Seller fees and take rate

[edit | edit source]

Etsy says it generates revenue primarily from marketplace activities, including transaction fees (inclusive of offsite advertising), payments processing fees & listing fees, as well as from optional seller services such as on-site advertising & shipping labels.[48] Its 2025 annual report groups the first three, with "Other", under the heading "Required fees".[48]

According to Etsy's 2025 annual report, Etsy marketplace sellers pay a 6.5% transaction fee for each completed transaction, inclusive of shipping fees charged,[48] & a nonrefundable listing fee of $0.20 for each item listed.[48] They also pay Etsy Payments processing fees, which typically vary between 3.0% and 6.5% of an item's total sale price, including shipping, plus a flat fee per order that depends on the country of the seller's bank account & an additional transaction fee for foreign currency payments.[48] In June 2018, Etsy announced that from July 16, 2018 the transaction fee would change from 3.5% to 5% & would also apply to the cost of shipping.[53]

The same report defines Etsy's "revenue take rate" as revenue divided by gross merchandise sales (GMS), the dollar value of items sold, excluding shipping fees & net of refunds; Etsy says GMS "does not represent revenue earned by us".[48] The take rate was 24.2% in 2025, up from 22.3% in 2024, on unaudited GMS that included Reverb & Depop, which the report calls "a leading fashion resale marketplace acquired in 2021".[48] Etsy's advertising revenue rose $62.2 million in 2025, "largely driven by an increase in average price per click on Etsy Ads", Etsy's on-site advertising, which the report describes as "cost-per-click fees an Etsy marketplace seller pays for prominent placement of her listings" that "are charged to a seller’s Etsy bill when the listing is clicked".[48]

Etsy's Help Center says new sellers will be charged "a one-time, non-refundable fee" for opening a shop where applicable, & that the cost varies by location.[2] In July 2024, VAR reported that Etsy had made an unannounced change moving the fee from a flat $15 to an amount based on "a number of factors", with some sellers seeing fees around $28.50 to $30 while "others were still charged $15".[54] Etsy's 2025 annual report says the number of active Etsy sellers declined year-over-year in 2025, "yet stabilized beginning in the second quarter", the "anticipated and intentional impact" of the set-up fee introduced in 2024.[48]

Sellers in certain countries also pay a Regulatory Operating Fee on the item price & shipping costs, which Etsy's Help Center says "will vary based on seller location".[55] In a post on Etsy's community forum, Ossman wrote that Etsy introduced the fees "to help cover the rising costs of operating under local government regulations", & announced that from June 22, 2026 the fee in France would increase from 0.47% to 1.14%.[56] In November 2025, VAR reported that Etsy was testing Instant Transfer, which gives select US sellers faster payouts to their bank accounts for a fee of 1% of the transfer amount, with a minimum of 25¢ & a maximum of $1.[57]

Acquired and divested marketplaces

[edit | edit source]
  • Reverb, a musical instrument marketplace: Etsy completed its acquisition of Reverb Holdings, Inc. on August 15, 2019, for $275 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments.[58] Etsy completed the disposition of Reverb on June 2, 2025.[59]
  • Depop, a fashion resale marketplace: on June 2, 2021, Etsy announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire Depop for $1.625 billion "consisting primarily of cash", subject to certain adjustments.[60] Etsy completed the sale of Depop to eBay on July 30, 2026, receiving approximately $1.4 billion in cash at closing: the $1.2 billion purchase price plus $200 million of net purchase price adjustments & interest, further subject to certain post-closing adjustments.[61]
  • Elo7, a Brazil-based marketplace for handmade & unique items: Etsy closed the sale of Elo7's parent holding company to Enjoei S.A., a corporation in Brazil, on August 10, 2023.[62]
