I've added more to my titles but wondered if repeating the same word in the title may work against me

pretty same thing with KilnFiredArt:
I am wondering if repeating the same word in the tags may hurt my SEO?
for example one tag with "wedding gift" the other with "personalized gift", or one with "custom" the other with "custom silhouette"....
and what about the multiple keywords in the description?

LOL, I was logging on to ask the same sort of questions! ;) I was under the impression that using a word repeatedly in a title was a waste of space, but then some of the folks in Site Help were saying how much it's boosted their relevancy. :-/
The only thing I can speak on is keywords. (And that only a little!) I am using multiple keywords...I think they help, depending on the search terms you think a buyer would use. I stuff my tags (following the rules, of course!) with relevant phrases such as "knitted rag rug" or "gold tshirt rug". Since I did that, "rug" and "rag rug" dominate our shop's keyword stats. Still, we've only sold one rug since we started in early summer, so you can be the judge as to whether or not we're being successful. ;)
Descriptions are the bain of my Etsy experience - I hate the writing more than anything else. :P I would say, though, please describe your item's size (whatever it may be - jewelry, textile, even food). A lot of sellers do not, and it makes comparision shopping a little tricky sometimes!
