Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
Business Combinations
Note 5—Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Depop Acquisition
On July 12, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued share capital of Depop, an online global peer-to-peer fashion resale marketplace. The Company believes Depop extends its market opportunity in the high frequency apparel sector, specifically in the fast-growing resale space, and deepens the Company’s reach into the Gen Z consumer. The fair value of consideration transferred of $1.493 billion consisted of: (1) cash consideration paid of $1.489 billion, net of cash acquired and (2) non-cash consideration of $4.8 million representing the portion of the replacement equity awards issued in connection with the acquisition that was associated with services rendered through the date of the acquisition. The portion of the replacement equity awards associated with services rendered post-acquisition is recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the awards. Additionally, deferred consideration awards issued to certain Depop executives are also recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the mandatory service period associated with the deferred consideration. Neither of these awards was included in the fair value of the consideration transferred. See “Note 12—Stock-Based Compensation” for more information on these awards.
Goodwill consists largely of assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities, and value creation across the Company’s businesses. The resulting goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The Company finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Depop as of December 31, 2021.

Elo7 Acquisition
On July 2, 2021, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Elo7 (including Elo7, Ltd. and related subsidiaries entities), by means of a merger, an e-commerce marketplace in Brazil focused on unique, handmade items. The Company sees significant potential in Brazil's e-commerce sector, which is still in early stages of development and fueled by one of the largest economies in the world. The Company believes having a well-known local brand will help Etsy to better capitalize on this opportunity. The fair value of consideration transferred of $212.1 million consisted of: (1) cash consideration paid of $211.3 million, net of cash acquired, and (2) non-cash consideration of $0.8 million representing the portion of the replacement equity awards issued in connection with the acquisition that was associated with services rendered through the date of the acquisition. The portion of the replacement equity awards associated with services rendered post-acquisition are recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the awards, and were therefore not included in the fair value of the consideration transferred. See “Note 12—Stock-Based Compensation” for more information on these awards.
