Etsy is an e-commerce website that specializes in handmade or vintage items, as well as craft supplies. It was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Etsy allows sellers to create an online shop to sell their handmade, unique or vintage items, including jewelry, clothing, home decor, art, and craft supplies. Buyers can browse and purchase these items directly from the sellers, and can also leave reviews and ratings for the sellers. Etsy provides a platform for independent sellers and small businesses to reach a wider audience, and allows buyers to discover and purchase unique, one-of-a-kind items from around the world.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
