The listing has to carry Etsy’s cut.
Transaction fees, packing, and time at the table belong in the price before you hit publish. The workbook puts those on the unit so the listing isn’t a guess.
Fees come out after you thought you were done.
Packing is a product cost.
Mailers, tape, and inserts sit on every order. Put them in the unit.
Put fees in the listing.
Put Etsy fees, packing, and your time in the listing, not after the sale.
Star Seller is not a price.
A badge does not cover packing or your time. The listing still has to carry the unit.
Price the listing you actually have.
Listing fees
The listing fee and transaction fee are not rounding errors. Put them in the unit.
Payment processing
Card processing still comes off after Etsy. It belongs in the number too.
Shipping supplies
A rigid mailer can cost more than the sticker. Cost the pack-out.
Time at the packing table
Labeling and packing an Etsy order is labor. It goes on the unit.

Mailers and kraft paper were eating $1.80 a board. I had been calling shipping a customer problem.

Bottles, labels, and 2.9% processing on a $9 hot sauce left $1.10. That is not a product. That is a hobby.
