Etsy sold for $2.99, but real money entered $1.83!? A newbie must know before setting a price.

Before selling Etsy, newbies need to know this.

Many people see sales and are glad.

Like selling $3.99.

25% off to $2.99

The customer actually paid $2.99.

But when you look at Order Earnings,

The real money is only $1.83.

Because Etsy also has several fees, such as

Transaction fees, Payment processing fees, VAT fees and some orders may also offer Offsite Ad fees.

This doesn't mean Etsy is bad.

But it means we have to "charge the price."

If the price is too cheap,

Reduce too much

Or no fee allowance at all.

The last actually sells, but there may be very little profit left.

A newbie who's about to open an Etsy store.

Suggest to check these numbers before selling every time.

# EtsySeller # EtsyThailand # Etsy sale # Etsy new # Lemon8

Reference: Etsy indicates that the main fees that the seller should know have listing fees, transaction fees and payment processing fees. The transaction fee is 6.5% of the order balance. The payment processing fee varies by country of the seller, and Offsite Ads thinks when the order is counted from advertisements outside Etsy. The typical rate is 15% or 12% based on store sales over 365 days.

... Read moreประสบการณ์ตรงจากการขายสินค้าใน Etsy ทำให้ผมรู้ว่าแค่ตั้งราคาสินค้าอย่างเดียวไม่พอ ต้องเผื่อค่าธรรมเนียมหลายตัวที่ระบบเว็บไซต์เรียกเก็บด้วย เช่น Transaction fee ที่หักประมาณ 6.5% ของยอดขาย แล้วก็ยังมี Payment processing fee ซึ่งในแต่ละประเทศจะไม่เหมือนกัน รวมทั้งภาษี VAT ที่อาจจะโดนหักเพิ่มเติม และ Offsite Ad fee ที่จะถูกเก็บเมื่อมีลูกค้ามาจากการโฆษณานอก Etsy อีกด้วย ช่วงแรกผมตั้งราคาสินค้าโดยไม่คิดเรื่องพวกนี้เลย เพราะเห็นยอดขายแล้วดีใจที่ขายได้ แต่พอไปเช็กยอดเงินจริงใน Order Earnings กลับพบว่าจำนวนเงินที่ได้จริงน้อยกว่าที่คาดถึง 30-40% ทำให้กำไรลดทันที สิ่งที่ผมได้เรียนรู้คือการตั้งราคาต้องพิจารณาค่าธรรมเนียมเหล่านี้ก่อน เช่น ถ้าตั้งราคาขายไว้ที่ 3.99 ดอลลาร์ และลูกค้าได้ส่วนลดเหลือ 2.99 ดอลลาร์ เช่นนี้เงินที่เข้าจริงอาจเหลือแค่ประมาณ 1.83 ดอลลาร์เท่านั้น เพราะถูกหักค่าธรรมเนียมหลายรายการ การลดราคาสินค้ากระตุ้นยอดขายเป็นสิ่งดี แต่ต้องดูให้แน่ใจว่าตั้งราคาตั้งต้นสูงพอที่จะเผื่อค่าธรรมเนียมเหล่านี้ได้ด้วย ผมมักจะทำตารางคำนวนค่าธรรมเนียมโดยประมาณสำหรับสินค้าทุกชิ้นที่ตั้งขาย เพื่อประเมินกำไรที่แท้จริงก่อนลงขายจริง สิ่งสำคัญอีกอย่างคือการติดตามว่า Offsite Ad fee จะคิดหรือไม่ในแต่ละออร์เดอร์ ถ้าเจอว่าผู้ซื้อมาจากโฆษณานอก Etsy ก็ต้องเผื่อว่าค่าธรรมเนียมนี้จะโดนหักเพิ่มอีก 12-15% ของยอดขาย สุดท้าย ผมอยากแนะนำให้มือใหม่ที่กำลังจะขายของบน Etsy ใช้วิธีนี้เช็กและวางแผนราคาสินค้าให้ดี และติดตามยอดเงินที่ได้จริงหลังแต่ละออร์เดอร์ เพื่อคำนวณกำไรสุทธิที่แท้จริงค่ะ เพราะการขายได้อย่างเดียวไม่พอ กำไรหลังหักค่าธรรมเนียมถึงสำคัญมากที่จะทำให้ร้านของเรายั่งยืนและเติบโตได้
