People need more you tube video like yours that explains things in short and yet with all information needed, explained in a very easy to understand way. Kudos!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Anne. Please make more videos about digital downloadable products for Etsy. Products that you can make once and then let them sell automatically, without much maintenance. I don’t have a Etsy shop yet but I’m looking into it to sell digital art. Thanks
You're welcome! I have a few out there, here's one that might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/hLWhOvnUZ3U/w-d-xo.html
You definitely schooled me today. I completely misunderstood how this whole Etsy thing worked. Thanks so much.
You're welcome! And don't feel bad, it's very confusing!
The most complete and user-friendly tutorial I have ever watched about Etsy listing fees.
So, you mean if I list 100 digital printables on Etsy will charge only .20 cents, not 100 × .20 cents until someone buys an item?
Thank you so much!! Yes, that's right. Etsy will charge only .20 cents until someone buys an item.
@@GDHT Oh! Nobody telling it. Thanks for the valuable reply.
You're welcome!!
@@GDHT Thanks for the reply.
You're welcome!
Thank you, Anne! Your explanations on a topic are always clear and concise.
You're welcome - and thank you so much!!
Isn't it refreshing? So many others take an hour to explain something that only takes 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
@@AndyMorrisArt awww I really appreciate that!
This is the best explanation I have seen so far. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're welcome - and thank you so much!
Hello! Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I don't have any experience with Etsy and selling things online in general so I had some misconceptions about the fees and your video really cleared that up for me and gave me reassurance to proceed with my plan in starting an Etsy shop this year, so thanks a lot.
I used to think that, if I list an item with quantity 100, I have to pay the $0,20 x 100 upfront and it really concerned me a lot as it'd really affect my tight budget. I'm SO glad I found your video and watched till the end, it makes me relieved to know that if I put a quantity of 100 (or really, as many as I want) I won't be charged $20 (or, more) immediately. I'm saying this a lot in this comment but thank you for such valuable video!
Hey there! I'm so happy to hear that the video helped clear up some misconceptions for you!
It's totally understandable to have concerns about fees, especially when starting something new. I'm glad I could provide the information you needed to feel more reassured about launching your Etsy shop. Best of luck with it, and thanks for watching the video!
Love the clip art pic, a real lol moment there Anne.
Haha! I had fun making those!
Anne, what a great video. I really like how you explain things, makes it easy to understand. Thanks to you my questions are answered. Thumbs up!
Aww thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all your videos! Listed my first product on etsy today!
You're welcome - Good luck with your new shop!!
that listing fee was so confusing when i was reading it on the site, thanks for breaking it down!
You're welcome! It was confusing for me to until after I'd been selling a while.
Thank you so much for this very detailed explanation. very helpful for a newbie like me :)
You're welcome! I'm so happy it was helpful!
thank u so much!! i learn so well from your videos!! u are very thorough and informative
You're welcome - and thank you so mcuh!!
Thank you.. this was really helpful. Need more videos like this. Did you do one for non digital products... out of interest.
You're welcome - and thank you!! Yes I did - you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/nnbkvpEYXeI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you this video helped. Im selling clipart and wondered why i got charged another listing fee when one sold but my qty was 999 I thought it was .20 until that qty was all sold or a relist after 4 months. Boy was i wrong lol.
You're welcome - I'm so glad it was helpful! Yes, Etsy will get their fee for every item sold. That would be nice, though!!
Let's say there is a digital product you want to sell and offer it as a Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel form. Is it better to offer them two different items or is there an option off the one listing for them to choose between Sheets and Excel? Also, would you be charged $.40 since it's really two then? It was a great video also.
In this case I would just do an Excel sheet, which can be opened/used in Google Sheets. Even if you have multiple formats, you can upload them into one listing...or put many different products in one listing as a bundle. Then you would be charged $0.20 for the one listing.
@@GDHT Thank you for the quick response and all the help you are giving everyone.
Why does no one show the activity statement. I don’t understand it. I sold something for $2. The buyer got charged $2.13 then next to it says balance .88 cents. Then above it , it shows fee .31 cents with balance of .57cents , fee of .13 cents with balance of .44 cents and tax fee of .13 cents with balance of .31 cents. Does that mean out of $2 I was left with .31 cents??
Hmm, this video does show my Etsy statement. Mine doesn't have 'Balance' - it shows the name of each fee, and exactly what was taken out. It sounds like you might have listed a couple other items that pulled listing fees from your balance? The other fees of .31, .31 and .13 sound right. So out of $2.13, you would get $1.56. But if you started with only $0.88 after listing some other items, then you would be left with $0.31
Thank you for the video. Someone told me that keep the quantity always 1 because of the payment. What do you think?
I don't understand why they would want to do it that way, but it's perfectly fine. If someone buys it, it will sell out, and then you'll have to manually restock it. The payment would be the same.
Great video. I would sell digital photos for 19.99 euros. Is that an okay price? I didn't put it automatically, but I put it manually so that I can control it, because I think it's better than having your money taken without you knowing. I'm not sure how much to put. can you give me any suggestion. I have a total of 29 digital photos. I wouldn't want to spend more than I earn because then it doesn't make sense to me.
I would research on Etsy how much other people are selling digital photos for. The price does seem kind of high, honestly, unless you're selling a bundle for that price. I saw a couple single photos, and they were about $4 each. Of course it's up to you, and if you can sell them that high, that's great!!
is this all still accurate as of aug 16, 2023?
Yes!! :)
so its best to list as much as we can for digital product?
It really doesn't matter either way. You can list the quantity at 1 or 100...or more. I list at 100 so I don't have to keep renewing it if it sells out. :)
@@GDHT tqsm
yw!
Will etsy deduct Sales/VAT Tax amount from my sales?
Yes! They upcharge the customer, then take it and send it where it needs to go.
Thank you for this. I do have one comment, when you go to price your item before publishing, why does it change to a higher price after publishing the item. It's probably tax but I've tried to work it out and failed
I’ve never had that happen! Is this digital products?
i put my listing as $6,99 for 40 quantity. i’m still a bit confused on it. how will that work for me? and should i up my price/quantity? pls halp
& how do you pay for the fees?? i don’t want to be in debt for them
here’s a video about debt and Etsy: th-cam.com/video/yA4knryClek/w-d-xo.html
So if I live in Canada all those fee will be USD currency as well? like listing fee 0.25 cent etc, everything in USD currency right ((? and another question, what if I set my digital items quantity let's say at 20 units but after a few days I decide to change to 50, is that will be ok?
Hmm, I'm not sure on the fees, but I'm guessing it will be a Canadian equivalent. On your 2nd question, the # of units won't affect anything. Here's a video on multiple quantities that might help: th-cam.com/video/eu1UMSw1xcM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, do you know if I list a public domain picture on Etsy. What do I have to enter under "who made this?" ? Because if I put the original time it was painted Etsy assumes it's a vintage item. But as it's a digital download it's not really vintage is it?
I'm not sure about that - I would reach out to Etsy support.
When you pay 15% /12% Fee ?
You pay that when someone actually buys your product...but the percentage varies based on the price.
@@GDHT Thanks for the answer and for the videos, they are great !!
If i understand well....if Etsy promote 1 or 2 listings, i wil pay offsite ads only for this listings(1 or 2)?
How does the selling price influence the percentage? It is not 15% or 12%?
Offsite ads are something you pay for ONLY if someone buys the listing. If your Etsy shop has made less than $10,000 USD on Etsy in the past 365 days, Offsite Ads are optional, so you can just turn them off.
Hlw Mam
0.20 for every month or just for onetime? 🤔
$0.20 for 4 months, or until it sells.
@@GDHT Tnx mam
After 4 month etsy will charge again 0.20 for the same listing?
@@user-uf2rf7uo8p It's actually all in the video. Yes, if you have it set up to auto-renew. No, if you have 'manual renewal' selected.
Hi, is it safe to install mesh tormentor to my illustrator?
I don’t know what that is. If it’s a paid plugin that you purchased, there should be online reviews, etc that testify to its safety.
@@GDHT UserVoice recommended it, when I suggested to including in illustrator the same feature option for warping on a cylinder as in Photoshop, it’s really neat, I can use for packaging label placement, “Mesh Tormentor” is free install, I wanted to stay in vector art and not have to switch to photoshop
You can see photoshop demo here th-cam.com/video/wVe4pGRKd28/w-d-xo.html @ 16:18 13. Transform Warp: Cylinder
