๐ŸงพThe Etsy Reality CheckThe honest numbers, not the dream ๐Ÿซก The whole truth
No fine print ยท no tricks ยท plain words

The whole truth about
your Etsy number.

You just saw some real numbers. Here is exactly how we got them โ€” what you can trust 100%, and what you should check yourself. We'd rather tell you the truth than sell you a dream.

๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ

It's like a weather report

A weather app says "80% chance of rain." Smart people grab an umbrella. But it's not a promise โ€” it might stay dry. Our report is the same. It gives you a very close, very real picture of what Etsy is like. It is not a crystal ball.

๐ŸŽฏ What's a fact, and what's a smart guess

Every number in your report is one of three kinds. We color-code them so you always know.

๐ŸŸข

Rock-solid facts

Etsy's fees and the math. Etsy's cut is public and exact โ€” 6.5% + 3% + 25ยข + 20ยข per sale. We never guess this. The profit math is just a calculator. This part is 100% true, every time.

๐Ÿ”ต

Real, pulled live

The prices and how crowded the shop is. Our AI opens Etsy and reads real listings โ€” real prices, real reviews, real competition. Sometimes Etsy blocks robots, so once in a while we use a close match instead. When we do, we tell you.

๐ŸŸก

Smart estimates

How many sales you'd get, and what ads cost. Etsy hides how much each shop really sells. So we use real, typical numbers from seller data. It's a very close guess โ€” but your shop could do a little better, or a little worse.

๐ŸŽจ A real example

Here's a real one โ€” "kids coloring pages." See how the pieces fit:

You sell it for estimate$4.50
Etsy's cut factโ€“$0.88
You keep fact$3.62
Ads to get ONE sale estimateโ€“$12.50
So each ad sale can loseโ€“$8.88

The fees and math? Exact. The $4.50 price? Pulled from real listings. But "how many will I sell?" is the guess. A brand-new shop might sell 0, 1, or 3 a month. We pick a realistic middle so you get a fair picture โ€” not a fairy tale, and not doom.

๐Ÿค” Why we can't promise 100%

Nobody can โ€” not us, not anyone. Here's why, plainly:

1
Etsy keeps sales secret. No shop shows exactly how much it sells each month.
2
Every shop is different. Your photos, your words, your luck โ€” all change the result.
3
Prices move. Etsy shops change prices and run sales every single day.
4
Robots get blocked. Etsy sometimes blocks fast page reads, so we use close matches.

โœ… Your homework (this is the real answer)

Want to know for sure? Do this. It takes 20 minutes and it's free:

1
Search your idea on Etsy. Count how many shops already sell it.
2
Open the top 3 shops. Look at their real prices and review counts.
3
Do the fee math on THEIR price. See what they'd really keep.
4
Still keen? List one product and run a tiny test for a month.

Only a real test gives you real results. Our report gets you 90% of the way โ€” the smart, fast way โ€” so you don't waste months finding out the hard way.

๐Ÿค Our promise to you

We show the honest math. We label our guesses. We never make up a number to scare you or to sell you. Use this to get a fast, clear, honest idea โ€” then go prove it yourself. That's the truth.
