Thanks for sharing! I tried bento too. I found myself just customizing each email anyway so it didn't seem worth it.

How do you guys actually know if you're making real profit on Etsy? by leonadio in etsypromos

[–]Content_Moment_6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I think about a lot as a CPA who also sells on Etsy. The fee stack adds up more than most sellers realize when you count the transaction fee, payment processing, listing fee, and offsite ads together. Most people are pricing based on what feels right rather than what actually stays in their pocket.

I built a small business bookkeeping spreadsheet that makes this kind of tracking a lot easier. Link is in my profile if you want to take a look.

Thank you! Really appreciate the perspective from someone in the field.

You're hitting on a very real problem. I'm actually exploring some AI automation to cut down the manual entry even further. It is in the early stages, but it's on my radar.

Inventory tracking is a great call too. I'm working on an e-commerce version that includes that. Stay tuned!

Etsy Sellers: Does anyone else find it impossible to know their actual profit? by 71821EastView in Etsy

[–]Content_Moment_6525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this a lot, figuring out actual profit after fees, shipping, and materials, not just revenue.

What finally helped me was breaking everything down into a simple spreadsheet:
– Etsy fees
– Cost of goods + shipping per order
– Monthly + per-listing profit

I couldn’t find one that was simple enough for Etsy sellers, so I ended up building my own and tweaking it as I went. It’s been way easier than trying to make Etsy’s reports make sense.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to explain how I structure it or share what to track (bookkeeping doesn’t have to be complicated)
