Etsy calculator is your friend!!!!!


As the story goes, I am bringing back my original shoppe, adelehartlep, due to the fact that I have too many random things starting to clutter my beautiful fabric shoppe. What can I say I am anal.

So my idea was to have almost a wholesale like supply shop, I like to get a good price and love to pass it on to others.

I have always been a firm believer in the etsy calculator. It basically tells you how much you are making on each item you sell, and for me this is important....etsy is my full time job, well that and my B & M. Which to me is the same darn thing.

As I was figuring out how much to sell my pom pom trim for, usually it is $1.50 a yard, which calculates out to me making 9 cents per yard.....yikes!!!!!! This means I would have to sell over 150 yards to be able to make enough to buy another spool , besides the money I would have replace the one I sold.


CRAP!!!!!
