Don't you feel silly when you don't follow your own advice?

I just sold my TARDIS candle, which was one of the first items I listed on Etsy. I went to renew the sold one and realized the title was really optimized, so I went to edit it. I looked at the tags while I was at it and they were atrocious! I glanced at a few of my other older items and it's the same story. I guess I took all of the useful stuff I've learned and only applied it to new listings :/ Looks like I'll have to do a tag overhaul when I get some time.

Yikes, I hate that. I'm facing having to redo certain aspects of all my listings, too, and it's overwhelming to think about! Especially the ones with really bad pictures :/ Going to have to dedicate at least a week to getting it all done--probably more like two. Good luck on fixing your tags!

I think that is part of learning...I did tag and now that I read them they looked so wrong ... takes time to find the working tags

I sometimes run into a listing that has a tag or material from a different item *oops!* I guess it happens when I copy a listing and forget to change the materials

I have the same situation. I'm at the point right now as they expire I do an overhaul on them and renew. I'm hoping this summer when I have more time I can get caught up, but for now I'm only catching the expired ones.

Same story here. Been working on new listing, completely forgot the old ones. I will not be renewing some of them though, so I'm just waiting for them to expire lol.
