How POD profit works

Your real profit is your sell price minus what the product actually costs you (base cost plus any shipping you cover) minus the platform's fees. On Etsy that means a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of roughly 3% plus $0.25, and an optional 15% Offsite Ads fee on ads-attributed sales. Many sellers forget the fees and think a $25 sale on a $12 product is $13 profit, when it is closer to $10. Price with the fees in mind, and aim for a margin that survives a discount.

What margin should I aim for?
