Frequently Asked Questions

You set a daily budget, Etsy auto-bids per click. CPCs vary $0.10–$2 by niche. You pay per click, not per sale. ROI = sales × profit ÷ daily spend.
When NOT to use ads?
New listings (no conversion data), low margin (<25%), saturated niches with $1+ CPCs, when you can't handle the order volume.
TACoS for Etsy?
