Expert Answer

Try selling your items at a few crafts fairs. It's a great way to test out your product and see what customers are willing to pay. Then, you can use the info you gather to price your items on Etsy.

Question

Where can I find help if my product is not allowing me to preview or save it?

Community Answer

First off, try refreshing your page. If that doesn't work, wait 24 hours and try again. Like with all technology, there may be a bug. If it's still not working, head over to the Etsy community and view the posts on bugs. If you don't see your answer there, post a question/comment and let Etsy know what is going on. They will get to it as soon as they can.

Question

How do I rearrange my listing on my shop other than making them Favorite?

Community Answer

Go to the front of your shop. Under your ratings, you should see an orange button that says "Edit Shop" (you must be logged into your account to see it). Click on it. Let it load and then scroll down to right below your shop announcement. There will be a white button that says "Rearrange Items". Click on it. Now you can move your items in any order you'd like and also on any page you'd like!

Question

I have an item that is made to order, so why do I have to list a quantity?

Community Answer

Usually it's based on the amount of materials you can get. If you have a limited amount of this certain type of fabric and you know you can only make 10 dresses at most with it, you'll want to make sure that you list only 10 available. If you have an unlimited amount of supplies, you can just enter a larger number.

Question

How do I sell several items in one listing?

Community Answer

If they are the exact same item, up the quantity available on the listing. If the items are just similar to each other, click "Add a Listing." Enter the information and scroll down to "Inventory and Pricing." Select "Add a Variation." Select your variation and type in your options. To the left side of the variations box, there will be three options. One is "Prices vary for each..."; make sure to select that if it applies. Click "Save and Continue." After that, you will be able to type in specific prices for each listing. When you are finished, fill out the rest of the information and click "Publish."
