February was another great month for our community. As we expected, the numbers were a bit lower than January, but considering the fact that we are comparing a 31-day month to a 28-day month, we are very pleased with the results.
The stats:
- $20.2 million of goods were sold by our community in February; roughly 1% higher than January’s $20 million.
- That represents 1,186,311 items sold for the month, 1% lower than January’s 1,194,132.
- 1,830,825 new items were listed in the month, 7% lower than January’s 1,958,906.
- 236,034 new members joined the Etsy community in the month, down 5,994, or 3% from January.
- 678,957,311 page views were recorded on the site this month.
The $20.2 million of goods sold by the community represents a 96% increase from from 2009′s total. At the same time, items sold were up 74%. Sellers continue to do a better job of pricing their items, thus increasing their income.
Congrats and thanks to all the members of the community.

Great news! I'd also love to know the breakdown of categories, so I know what other custom jewelry makers are faring. My shop has been open for less than a year and I'd love to see some indicators so I'll know what to expect. It would help me know what months I should spend designing & marketing my shop, and which months I need to devote more time to relisting, packaging, & shipping. Any ideas on this?

I'm constantly amazed at how Etsy seems to be growing apace despite the economy, & it's always great to see how many new members have joined up. February was my worst month ever, but as I usually seem to buck the trend I'm not going to let it bother me! :-)

March approached as some of the dreary days of February seemed to stroll by, March in Like a lion out like a lamb. Watching the tress with their green tendrils reaching for the welcome warmth of the sun as they swayed in the strengthening wind was pleasant, and welcome. Well Etsy is strengthening with her green tendrils reaching for the suns rays, growing more new leaves, the members, Etsy teams reaping a harvest of improved internet and web workings/discoveries

Great stats. I'm guessing jewelers had good sales due to Valentine's Day. Please show us the breakdown by Handmade, Vintage & Supplies categories plus subcategories: clothing, home decor, jewelry, etc. This would make the numbers are lot more informative & usable. Surely Etsy has them. Share!

Thanks for that. Is it possible to find out how many shops are there on Etsy and how many registered users? Many people I speak to everyday have never heard of Etsy and are often asking how big the site is. They do not realise that it is that huge. I guess we are talking here about millions and that is really impressive :) By the way, I am one of those who joined the site in February and I just had my first sale too! :D
