Do Canada and Australia Etsy fees apply to shipping?
Yes. Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee applies to shipping charged to the buyer. Etsy Payments processing applies to the total sale amount, including shipping and tax where applicable. Canada's 0.50% Regulatory Operating Fee also applies to item price plus shipping and gift wrap.
A Canadian seller charging C$80 for an item and C$10 for shipping has a C$90 fee base for the transaction fee and Regulatory Operating Fee. The shipping label cost should be subtracted later as a seller expense.
Shipping charged is revenue for fee math, while the shipping label is a cost for profit math.
- Add shipping charged to item price before calculating Etsy fees.
- Use domestic or international processing based on the order type.
- Subtract label cost after fee math.
- Run Offsite Ads separately when the order is attributed.

Australian sellers should use processing fee 3 and fixed fee 0.25 for domestic orders, or processing fee 4 and fixed fee 0.25 for international orders. Keep the transaction fee at 6.5%.
