Regulatory Operating Fee.

A percentage Etsy adds on top of its other selling fees, charged on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap, and set by the seller's country rather than the buyer's. Etsy's help page lists the rates: Hungary 1.97%, Türkiye 1.67%, Vietnam 1.24%, France 1.14%, Spain 0.88%, Italy 0.80%, Canada 0.50%, the United Kingdom 0.48% and India 0.05%. It is subject to VAT where VAT applies, so the deduction on the payment account runs slightly above the headline rate. Because it applies to shipping as well as the item, a shop that prices shipping high and the item low pays more of it than the same order priced the other way round. It is small per order and easy to leave out of a margin sheet, which is how a Hungarian or Turkish shop quietly lands a point under the number it planned for.
