Etsy has three revenue sources: a 20 cent listing fee, a 3.5% sales fee, and an in-site ad system named Showcase.

Their board is Jim Breyer, Fred Wilson, Caterina Fake and Rob Kalin (founder, CEO).

They are profitable as of earlier this year, founded in 2005, based in Brooklyn, and put on a good show fo' sho'.
