Now that Halloween is behind us, Etsy is officially in the holiday spirit. However, let’s not overlook October: we saw increases across the board! Here’s the full monthly report.
The stats:
- $48.4 million of goods were sold by our community in October, 4.3% higher than September’s $46.4 million.
- That represents 2,426,035 items sold for the month, 5.0% higher than September’s 2,310,987.
- 2,135,938 new items were listed in the month, 6.3% higher than September’s 2,008,433.
- 501,730 new members joined the Etsy community in the month, up 21,703, or 4.5%, from September.
- 1.19 billion page views were recorded on the site in October.
The $48.4 million of goods sold by the community represents a 62% increase from October 2010′s total. At the same time, items sold were up 45%.

Any chance of breaking down the new members number into how many new shops opened up? It would be nice to compare new buyers to new sellers.

I'd love to know the buyer/seller new member difference as well as the percent of types of sales Vintage/Supply/Handmade(finished items). Also, does this include all the accounts that get closed and reopen as someone else? One person might have 30 accounts if they keep getting shut down for breaking the rules. Multiply that by the amount who get shut down would add up to quite a bit. Just curious.

Great numbers! As others have said, it would be great to know the breakdowns on new members (sellers/buyers) and on sales (handmade//vintage/supplies). Happy to be a small (OK...teeny) part of this!

Well, my shop in October pretty much mirrored all of those percentages, yeah! Every month this year has show good growth, up until now...this month, so far, is actually a wee bit down from last year. I'll be interested in seeing what the overall Etsy report for November is.

Great! What would really be helpful is a breakdown of handmade sellers, vintage sellers and supply sellers. Then we can see if our category is growing, not just the entire site. Thanks!

I'm hoping to make just one sale this week....I sold good on ebay in the past and have a great feed back, but I'm new to Etsy so I feel like I'm starting over having to earn some creditability.

"The $48.4 million of goods sold by the community represents a 62% increase from October 2010′s total. At the same time, items sold were up 45%." Would you tell us the increase in the number of items LISTED compared to Oct 2010? That would be helpful to give perspective to those numbers.

Amazing! Do you think people are starting to appreciate everything that is hand made as being local in the same way that organic local food has become much more appreciated in the last few years?

COMMENT: Thanks, this would certainly help, AND ALSO, graphing this information. Too text heavy and not easy to compare. You can do this, ETSY! I really appreciate all the info being posted.
