⚠️TOUGH LOVE ALERT ⚠️ I’ve posted about this on Instagram before, and it always seems to ignite a little fire. No one cares about your Etsy sales number besides you.
Etsy is not a perfect platform, but it is a damn good one. We believe it is the best marketplace handmade business owners have right now.
Sellers (and some buyers) often gripe about Etsy changes, but for me I find this one UNCHANGED thing is my biggest grips: displaying the seller’s sales number on the homepage of the Etsy shop. It’s been this way since day one and hasn’t changed.
The fact that Etsy publicly displays your sales number has ALWAYS seemed ridiculous to me.
For years, I have heard so many sellers express discomfort with this number on display so publicly.
Etsy sellers take it to mean something about them and their product or as an indicator of success or failure. It’s not.
