Etsy vs Printify Pop-Up: Same POD Product
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.
