Etsy vs Printify Pop-Up: Same POD Product

5 images

This compares an Etsy listing to a Printify pop-up shop selling the same glass cutting board (same printer, same size, same shipping rate).

Product (identical in both):

• Glass cutting board, 11″×15″

• Printer: Printify partner (U.S.)

• Fulfillment & delivery time: same

Printify pop-up pricing:

• Item price: $34.73

• Production cost: $20.84

• Shipping: $17.69

• Buyer total (before tax): $52.42

Etsy listing pricing:

• Item price: $99.99

• Shipping: $17.69 (exact same rate)

• Buyer total (before tax): $117.68

Math:

• Hard costs (manufacturing + shipping): $20.84 + $17.69 = $38.53

• Etsy buyer pays: $117.68

• Difference over hard cost: $79.15

Nothing about the product changes.

No different materials. No different printer. No different shipping.

The price difference comes entirely from markup + presentation.

Note:

I created the Printify pop-up product myself specifically as a controlled example, using the same base product, size, and shipping, so the comparison is apples-to-apples.

Screenshots included so anyone can verify the numbers.
