What does Etsy take at different Canadian sale prices?
Because most fees are percentages but the listing fee and processing fixed fee are flat, the effective rate shrinks as the order grows. GST at 5% is applied to the fee subtotal and included below. Examples assume free shipping and no Offsite Ads.
| Sale price | Listing | Transaction (6.5%) | Processing | Total Etsy takes (incl. GST) | Effective % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $13.50 | $0.27 | $0.88 | $0.66 | $2.06 | 15.2% |
| $34.00 | $0.27 | $2.21 | $1.27 | $4.35 | 12.8% |
| $68.00 | $0.27 | $4.42 | $2.29 | $8.15 | 12.0% |
| $135.00 | $0.27 | $8.78 | $4.30 | $15.64 | 11.6% |
Shipping you charge the buyer is part of the order total, so a C$34 item with C$6 shipping is calculated on C$40, not C$34. The calculator above handles that automatically.
Which Etsy fee do Canadian sellers underestimate most?
The regulatory operating fee. At 1.15% of every order it is easy to miss on the payment screen, but over a year it quietly takes over one percent of your revenue. It is in every calculation on this page.
Second is the Offsite Ads fee, because it is invisible until it hits: any order within 30 days of an ad click carries an extra 12% or 15%. Use the toggle above to stress-test: if your price only works at 0%, one ad order can wipe out the sale.
