This is an example listing with mistakes in it. Replace it with yours.

1 to fix before you publish
  • Title length 103 / 140.
  • Words repeated in the title: party, planner, birthday. Saying them once is enough.
  • 8 tags. Etsy allows 13; use all of them.
  • Repeated tags: party planner. Use the space for a different search phrase.
  • Brand or character names: disney. Remove them everywhere, including tags; brand owners report these and Etsy removes the listing.
  • Claims you may not be able to prove: best.
  • If AI tools helped make this, say so: pick the matching option on the listing form and add a line such as 'This item was designed with the help of AI tools.'
  • Say clearly that nothing is posted, for example 'This is a digital download. No physical item will be shipped.'
  • Give the sizes. Most Etsy buyers are in the US and print on US Letter; include A4 for the rest.

What you type is saved without your name, so we can improve this check. This check helps; Etsy still decides. Read Etsy's Creativity Standards and Intellectual Property Policy before you list.
