Comprehensive Guide to Etsy Fees for Canadian Sellers

Selling on Etsy from Canada involves navigating a specific set of fees calculated in Canadian Dollars (CAD). Our specialized calculator helps you determine exactly what your profit margin will be after Etsy takes its share, ensuring you price your products competitively and profitably.

CAD Payment Processing — 3% + C$0.25

When a buyer purchases your item using Etsy Payments, you are charged a payment processing fee. For Canadian sellers, this rate is 3% of the total transaction amount plus a fixed C$0.25. It's important to remember that this percentage is applied to the entire amount the buyer pays, which includes the item price, shipping costs, and any applicable taxes.

Core Etsy Fees

Canadian sellers are subject to the same global fees as sellers in the US:

  • Listing Fee: $0.20 USD (converted to CAD) per item, lasting for 4 months. Multi-quantity listings incur an additional $0.20 when an item sells.
  • Transaction Fee: 6.5% of the total order value (item price + shipping). This fee was increased from 5% to 6.5% in April 2022.
  • Offsite Ads Fee: If a sale is generated from one of Etsy's offsite ad campaigns, you will be charged between 12% and 15% depending on your shop's revenue history.

Taxes and Canadian Sellers (GST/HST)

Taxation is a crucial consideration for Canadian sellers. Depending on your revenue threshold, you may need to register for, collect, and remit Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Etsy may also charge GST/HST on the seller fees they invoice you. Because tax laws are complex and vary by province, we strongly recommend consulting a Canadian tax professional to ensure compliance.

How Currency Conversion Affects You

If you choose to list your items in USD while your bank account is in CAD, Etsy will apply a 2.5% currency conversion fee to the sale amount before sending the funds to your account. To maximize your profits and avoid this fee, it is generally recommended that Canadian sellers list their items in Canadian Dollars.
