Within the two week data period, Art is number one seller on the front page of Etsy, followed closely by Jewelry. Accessories and Paper Goods are nearly even, with the fifth most popular category being Bath & Beauty.
The most multiple quantity purchases are in the Toys category (my favorite statistic). Supplies is found at no. 8. Supplies is currently the number one selling category overall on Etsy but is ranked low in this graph probably because Supplies are seldom featured on the front page.
Errata: the second, smaller 'Toys' category is mislabeled, it should actually be 'Patterns'.
www.etsy.com is a marketplace to buy and sell handmade goods and is a company I helped co-found in June 2005.
