...Not at Etsy! We had a fantastic July, even with the July 4th holiday slowing everyone down a bit.  July 31st was the biggest day we’ve ever had: 18,291 items sold for a total of $267,195!   

Here are July’s key numbers, all of which represent the highest total ever for their categories:

    * $7.0 million of goods sold — a 9.8% increase over June.  
    * That represents 487,000 items sold, a 10% increase from June's stats.
    * 813,000 new items were listed, up from 742,000 items last month, a 9.5% increase.  
    * 87,000 new members joined the Etsy community, including 16,000 new sellers, both increases from last month.  
    * 324,000,000 page views were recorded on the site — a 7.6% increase.  

Thanks to everyone in the Etsy community for all of their hard work in July!

great news Etsy!!! I am proud to be a part of all this.

Etsy for animals donates all it's store proceeds to charity (did you know that?) - so lots of money out there being spent in a great place.

Love the dog!

That's good news for Etsy. How about sharing your statistics with your sellers -- please give your sellers access to their own stats so they can run their businesses like businesses. Thanks!
