put more, or less, info in the "item description" area? Does this help or hurt in searches? Is it basically like a "tag word"... and it will pull up my listing if someone types it into their search?! I'm still a big rookie at selling and am trying to figure it all out. Or, does it hurt me because they HAVE to type in that word in order to pull up my item?! I see that some sellers have TONS in the "item description" box and some have almost nothing. Just wondering if there's a strategy here... 🙂

I wanted to show you what your centered-text listings with the big fonts look like on mobile ... they aren't pretty 😞 This is one of your newly listed.

Have you ever been on Etsy... or visited their forums? I don't sell on there, I just buy, but I have visited/replied/asked questions on the forums... they keep great track of it for you. it's SO easy to check back... you just hit the "my threads" button and it pulls them up for you... right where you left off 🙂

Haven't been to Etsy forum, although I have done some window-shopping over there. Very tempting stuff. I was a forum mod and mod/mgr on a very large (with about a million members) entertainment forum for years; having forums properly laid out and properly moderated makes a world of difference for everyone who posts.

Oh that's ridiculous! Thank you for showing me... I need to work on changing those. I'll move them all left. I can't help it! I was in marketing... I'm super big on aesthetics and making things look "fun." lol! 😉
