pod-pricing

Etsy pricing for POD products involves computing your base product cost, adding Etsy's 22.5% transaction fee, and applying your target profit margin (typically 25–50%). This Skill automates that calculation, accepting your product type, cost, and margin target to generate a listing-ready price rounded to .99 with a detailed cost and fee breakdown.

Target profit margins for Etsy POD products typically range from 25% to 50% depending on competition and your business goals. This Skill enforces margin policies within that range and flags prices outside your desired margin for manual review, ensuring you maintain profitability while staying competitive.

Etsy charges 22.5% in transaction fees on all POD product sales. This Skill factors that fee automatically into price calculations so your final recommended price covers your base cost, the platform fee, and your target profit margin without manual adjustment.

Yes. This Skill supports product-specific base costs for common POD items—t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters, and stickers. You provide the product type and custom cost, and the Skill generates an accurate price recommendation tailored to that item's production cost and Etsy's fee structure.

When a price calculation results in a margin outside your 25–50% target range, this Skill flags it for manual review rather than applying it directly. You can then adjust the base cost, margin target, or check competitor prices to find a sustainable price point.
