Multiple colors of the same design

I offer the same designs on different color shirts. Different sizes, too. Should I make a different posting for each color?

Having the different colors listed separately will increase the number of items in your shop and help you get found more easily in searches. Also, some people might skip over your listing if they just see a blue shirt and they want a red shirt, because they don't realize you can make them in multiple colors.

I have a design I've done in a few colors and I list each one individually. It increases my chances of being found in search and, like Ariella said, prevents people who might be looking for a certain color from skipping over it.

I agree. I am new here too, but I also now try to add different colors and I also do different size too. If you have only one shirt, thisi is only one image from 44 listings just on the first page.... I also use it to show the product in a different way. So I will have a blanket in one size shown by itself and for another size I may use a picture with a baby. this way I can attract people that just look for the blanket and those that like cute babies and get attracted by the picture of the baby. This is my stradegy, but I am also fairly new here.

you also have only 4 items.... definitively want to change that asap or you will not get found.

I would say YES to the colours. That way you don't have to depend on a buyer telling you what colour they want when they make their purchase. (You'd be surprised how many don't).

As for sizes, you might find it to be to your advantage to list the various sizes as well.

Also in your listings, I see that you list S/M/L/XL but don't give any measurements. I'd suggest that you give chest and length measurements at least as the sizes can run very differently between manufacturers.

Today I've got on a 'Small' tshirt but yesterday I was wearing a Large that was smaller than this one!

I list items individually in each color as well as a 'custom' listing which allows the buyer to choose a color from the chart. The latter gets the most hits, for some reason.
