How Do Etsy Payments Work in Romania?
Etsy Payments is Etsy’s system for processing customer payments and paying sellers.
Romanian sellers receive their payouts in euros, rather than in Romanian lei. Etsy also does this in several other non-eurozone European countries, such as Poland, Hungary, and Czechia, where payments are also made to sellers in euros despite this not being the local currency.
Etsy says that your bank might change a foreign exchange fee when you receive your money.
Can You Buy From Etsy in Romania?
Yes, Etsy is also available to buyers in Romania, although it’s up to individual sellers where they decide to ship their items.
What Are Etsy’s Payment Processing Fees in Romania?
Etsy currently charges Romanian sellers an Etsy Payments processing fee of 4% + €0.30 per order.
This is the fee for processing the customer’s payment. Other standard Etsy fees, including listing and transaction fees, also apply.
