Etsy Featured Listings: How to Curate Your Shop Homepage
Etsy featured listings help spotlight bestsellers on your Shop Home; pick 4 (or sections), order them for cohesive photos, and rotate a queued set for seasons.
I run an Etsy shop and I need to cancel an order that was attributed to an Offsite Ad. I’m not sure whether Etsy still keeps the Offsite Ad fee when an order is canceled and refunded.
If I cancel the sale through Etsy and issue a full refund, will the Offsite Ad fee be returned automatically, or do I need to do anything else to get it back?
Hi! If you cancel the order through Etsy and issue a full refund, Etsy should automatically credit back the fees tied to that order—and that typically includes the Offsite Ads fee as a credit in your Payment account once the cancellation finishes processing (it can take a little time to fully settle).
A couple quick “gotchas” to make sure it refunds cleanly:
If you don’t see the Offsite Ads fee credited back after the cancellation is fully processed, that’s when you’d want to reach out to Etsy Support with the date of the cancellation (no need to do anything special before that besides refund + cancel inside Etsy).
