Postage

Packaging

Other costs
Consider returns and other relevant costs.
Commission and payment-processing rules vary with the applicable category and offer. Check the current Canadian fee schedule, including any conditions on promotions.
Canadian commission depends on category and sales tier. Standard rates shown are 8% for TCG, sports, fashion, other collectibles and other categories, and 4% for coins. Qualifying sales in one four-week period determine the following period’s tier. Payment processing is separate; use your Canadian rate card rather than a US example.

Compare supported selling-cost scenarios
Read the tool’s supported scenarios and exclusions. An estimate does not establish item or account eligibility.
Shipping & packaging
Review the current shipping workflow and any seller-paid contribution before pricing an item.
Getting paid
Canadian sellers sell in CAD. Check your account's payout method and release conditions.
For standard tracked Canadian orders, earnings normally become available within four hours of confirmed delivery. After requesting payout, Canadian bank arrival typically takes another 3–4 business days. Early Payout, alternative shipping methods and holds have different rules.

Does supported Canadian access mean I am approved?
No. Canada is a supported seller location, but Whatnot still verifies sellers and applies its account requirements.
What currency does the supplied Canadian guidance use?
Canadian sellers sell in CAD. Review your account’s current payout method and release conditions.
Does the comparison tool cover promotions and every format?
No. It uses a limited domestic-sale model and does not establish eligibility or cover every promotion, format or order.
