Below is an extensive tutorial with screenshots showing how to collect emails from Etsy.
A while ago when I first started getting into e-commerce I had a fellow Facebook marketer in Boise share with me a story about what email marketing alone can keep a company afloat.
He told me the story of a jewelry company based out of Boise he was consulting for who had been in the e-commerce business for 10 years and over those ten years had amassed an email list of 50,000 people.
I know some of the digital marketers out there right now are probably shitting themselves about that number but at the time I didn’t realize the value of this number and I doubt you realize it too.
It wasn’t until a year later, about a month ago, that I realized how valuable that email list is. An email list, when used properly, can drive about 16% of traffic and have a 1-3% conversation rate.
You have an email list of 50,000, you send out an email to your list once a week which is best practice, you are getting a 1% conversation and your average sale makes you $10.
That’s $20,000 per month.
Yeah.
Ok, so that part of the email list is common knowledge to most but what is more valuable in my eyes is what else you can do with that list.
You start a new blog that fits your demographic and psychographic.
Email them.
Write an ebook that fits the demographic and psychographic.
Email them.
Sell a course that shows teaches new marketing techniques.
Email them.
Get the picture?
So let’s collect those Etsy emails.

How To Collect Your Etsy Emails Semi-non Manually
So our goal is to collect our Etsy customer email list of each of our previous customers. What sucks though is that the email data can’t be downloaded from Etsy already in a file and can only be viewed when you click on the customer’s name. This means you would have to manually click and copy and paste every email.
Screw that.
This is when I wondered if the email data could be found in the page source HTML.
Bingo, it can :)
The next steps will show you have to scrape the HTML data and pull out your Etsy email list. You don’t need to know how to code for this, all the tools used are really easy, user-friendly and free.
1 Go to your Etsy “Orders & Shipping” tab and select the “Completed” completed.
2 Left click anywhere on the page using the Chrome browser and click on the ‘Inspect’ option.
3 “Elements” will then appear. Don’t fear, just press “command + f” and search for “body”. You’re searching for the “body” tag (shown below). Highlight the body and then press “command + c” to copy the body.
4 Paste the HTML “body” that you just copied into the left box below. Your customer emails will show in the box on the right.
5 You will get 50 emails per page. Copy the emails extracted and paste them into a Google Sheets document.
6 Repeat steps 4 – 6 for each page.
This part sucks, but it is better than making 1 click for pulling email addresses from Etsy instead of 35+ : )
If you want to do it even faster, use the app Marketsy. It downloads, saves and prepares your data for export to other apps like Shopify.
7 Once you’ve collected all the emails, copy them into Excel and use the function below to delete the semi-colon from the end of the email addresses.
=SUBSTITUTE()
Inside the brackets your want (cell where email is, that you’re replacing, what you’re replacing with).
So we are deleting the semi-colon and replacing it with nothing.
The full function should look similar to the following.
=SUBSTITUTE(A1, “;”, “”)
Apply this function to all your emails.
8 Next, select the whole column and use the remove duplicate function in Excel to remove repeat emails.
You are done dude.
I hope this helped you out and if you have questions ask them below.
