How do I find out which of my own Etsy listings actually made money?
Etsy keeps per-listing revenue inside the shop that earned it, so every outside estimate of a shop's sales is inferred from public signals. Your own shop is the exception: Stats carries revenue for each active listing, and the Order Items file carries every item you have ever sold. One of them answers this in a minute, the other answers it for years at a time.
Or upload that file to the free check and skip the spreadsheet.
Two sources inside your shop, and one outside it.
The difference between them is the whole reason sellers get three different answers to one question.
Revenue per listing, live
Shop Manager, then Stats, then Shoppers viewed your listings. Each active listing shows its views, favorites, orders and revenue for the time frame you choose, and the list sorts by any of them. Quickest answer, and it covers active listings.
Every item you have sold
Shop Manager, then Settings, Options and Download Data, then the Order Items file for the date range you pick. One row per item sold, so a spreadsheet can total months or years by listing, including listings you have since ended.
A guess from public signals
Anything reading your shop from outside sees what any shopper sees: reviews, favorites, prices. Sales get inferred from those, which is why two estimates of the same shop disagree with each other and with your own file.

Total your own sales by listing.
Download the Order Items file
Shop Manager, then Settings, Options and Download Data. Choose Order Items and the date range you want, then download the CSV.
Total it by listing
Each row is one item sold. Group the rows by listing and add up what each one brought in, so every listing carries a figure for the whole period rather than for last month.
Rank, and read the bottom too
Sorted by money, most shops find a short head that earns and a long tail that sits quiet. The tail is the part worth changing, and the head is the part worth copying.
Put views beside the money
Stats gives each listing its views. A listing that earns on few views is being missed rather than rejected; a listing with many views and zero orders was found and passed over.
Hand the same file to the free check.
The Whittle check reads the Order Items file you just downloaded and ranks every listing by what it earned. Add your listings file and it also shows which listings stayed unsold and the words your earning listings share, so the quiet ones can borrow what already works in your own shop. It runs on that one file, which is read in memory and then discarded.
Your shop stays untouched, and you paste anything you use yourself.
