What Fees Does Etsy Charge Sellers in Canada?
Etsy sellers in Canada typically pay several types of platform fees when they make a sale:
• Listing fee: $0.20 USD per listing (charged when an item is published)
• Transaction fee: 6.5% of the total order value, including shipping
• Payment processing fee: approximately 3% + $0.25 CAD per transaction
• Offsite Ads fee: up to 15%, only if a sale comes through Etsy’s advertising network
• Currency conversion fee: 2.5%, if your shop currency differs from your payout currency
Because these fees apply to the total order value, your effective deduction can reach 10% to 15% per sale before accounting for product cost and shipping expenses.
Understanding these charges helps sellers price products correctly and protect their profit margins.
Example: Etsy Fees on a $50 Sale in Canada
If a Canadian seller lists an item for $50 with $5 shipping, the estimated Etsy fees may look like this:
Transaction fee (6.5%): $3.58
Payment processing fee (3% + $0.25): $1.90
Listing fee: $0.20 USD
Estimated total Etsy fees: approximately $5.68
This means the seller would receive around $49.32 before product costs and shipping expenses.
Using an Etsy fee calculator before listing products helps sellers avoid underpricing and understand their real earnings.
