How much does the average shop make on Etsy?

Profit. On average, our Etsy shop owners priced their products at a 68% markup to cost. I found those numbers staggering and expected them to be raking in major profits. But with the exception of a few high volume shops, after Etsy fees and costs, the median shop brought in $291 of profit a month.
