Question 1

Does Etsy Profit Guard upload my Etsy CSV?

Accepted Answer

Free CSV analysis runs in the browser. Raw order CSV files are not uploaded by default, and common buyer and address fields are stripped from the working dataset.

Question 2

What Etsy CSV files does it support?

Accepted Answer

The tool supports Etsy order items CSVs, SKU cost CSVs, listing checklist CSVs, and optional Payment Account or Monthly Statement CSVs for reconciliation.

Question 3

Can it calculate Etsy Offsite Ads profit risk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sellers can ignore Offsite Ads, estimate all orders at 12% or 15%, manually mark affected orders, or map an Offsite Ads fee column when present.

Question 4

Is this tax or accounting advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Etsy Profit Guard provides operating estimates and risk checks. Sellers are responsible for verifying fee assumptions and getting tax, accounting, or legal advice when needed.
