How do you do THIS??

[TheMillineryShop]

When I name my shop sections, I am limited in the number of characters that I can use. It seems that 24 is the max. But I found a shop that has this as one section with like 40 character spaces and I can't do that, can you? and most of her sections had long names. So how does she have a section like this?:

Stone, Pearl, Crystal and Glass Bracelets and Necklaces

I tried to copy and paste her section in mine and it was too long. And of course I cannot even use them, it was just a test. Any ideas??

Hm I have never noticed long shop sections. The only reason I can think of is that she started a long time ago and the changed the rules.... ? Just speculation...

Amy, I think you're right. I remember reading something about Etsy restricting the number of characters allowed for shop sections a year or two ago..

[TheMillineryShop]

Yes, that was my thought. I could use more space because the section names count for SEO.

Marcia! I feel your frustration. 24 characters is not enough!
I'd even settle for 30.
40 is a dream. Lucky veterans.

i looked at your shop, why not just call the section 'bracelets and necklaces'?

The long ones are grandfathered in, they were created before Etsy limited the character length for sections.

It's a leftover from years ago in a much older version of Etsy, before the one that I came into just over 3 years ago (it's changed a lot since then.) For some reason the shops that were able to do this at the time, it has just carried over.
