You can sell physical products on Etsy if it is handcrafted or vintage (the product needs to be at least 20 years old).
You need to pay 20 cents for product listing, 6.5 percent transaction fees, and 3 percent plus a 25-cent payment processing fee after the product is sold. You might also have to run ads to generate sales. Therefore, when you are trying to sell products on Etsy you will have to think about all the charges and expenses. If you sold a product for $10, you will be paying 65 cents as transaction fees, 55 cents as payment processing fees, and 20 cents listing fees, so, a $10 sale will get you $8.60. You will also have to deduct your expenses like ad cost, product manufacturing cost, and shipping cost (if you offered to ship). If you deduct your entire expenses, a $10 sale might not even give you a $2 net profit. You will have to set a higher selling price to earn a better profit.
