Etsy - increase in Regulatory Operating Fees

For anyone selling on Etsy watch your inboxes for a message about a small increase in regulatory fees - cut and paste below:

Hi xxxxx



We introduced Regulatory Operating Fees in certain countries in 2021 to help cover the rising costs of operating under local government regulations. We review these fees each year to make sure they reflect the cost of doing business in each region.

Due to new regulations in the UK, those costs have increased. 

Starting on 22 June 2026, the Regulatory Operating Fee will increase from 0.32% to 0.48% on orders from your shop.* You’ll continue to see the fee as a line item in your Payment account once the updated rate takes effect. No action from you is needed.

This fee helps us continue supporting sellers in your region while meeting local requirements. 

Learn more in our Help Centre.

Thank you for being part of the Etsy community.
