Etsy is a global marketplace for unique and creative goods—handmade items, vintage finds (typically 20+ years old), and personalized products. What makes Etsy different from many e-commerce platforms is its focus on individual sellers and non-mass-produced inventory, which shapes the metrics people care about most: active buyers, active sellers, gross merchandise sales (GMS), and take rate (how much revenue Etsy earns per dollar of GMS).
This page compiles the most verifiable Etsy statistics from Etsy’s latest annual filing and FY2025 results release, while preserving useful historical trends with clear year labels.

How Etsy Makes Money
Etsy earns revenue by enabling commerce on its marketplace—primarily through marketplace fees and seller services. The most common way to understand Etsy’s monetization is to look at:
- GMS (Gross Merchandise Sales): the total value of merchandise sold on the platform (net of refunds), across Etsy and, historically, its other marketplaces.
- Revenue: what Etsy actually collects (fees, services, etc.).
- Take rate: revenue divided by GMS (a simple “revenue per $1 sold” metric).
FY2025 take rate (simple estimate): $2.8835B revenue / $11.9169B GMS ≈ 24.2%. (Derived from FY2025 reported revenue and GMS.)
