Etsy vs eBay: where does more of the sale stay with you?

Frequently asked questions
How do Etsy and eBay fees differ?
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee and separate payment processing (3% + $0.25 in the US). eBay bundles most of it into a final value fee of about 13.25% plus $0.40 per order, with 250 free listings a month. This tool compares the take-home on the same sale.
Are eBay’s fees really a flat 13.25%?
It varies by category — some are lower, a few higher — and there can be extra fees for below-standard sellers or international sales. 13.25% + $0.40 is the common rate for many categories and a fair baseline for comparison.
