Etsy fees and ecommerce profit are related, but they are not the same thing.
Etsy fees estimate what the marketplace and payment processing take from the order. Ecommerce profit includes product cost, shipping cost, packaging, ads, and other costs too.
A listing can have acceptable fees but still weak profit if product cost or shipping is too high. A higher-priced product can sometimes absorb fees better if margin is strong.
Use the Etsy Fee Calculator at /tools/etsy-fee-calculator to estimate fees, then use the Ecommerce Profit Calculator at /tools/ecommerce-profit-calculator for full order profit.
