Am I selling in the right category?

[BearlyDeadTeds]

Hi Everyone, I'm quite new to Etsy and I'm still trying to work it out, especially how to bring in traffic. I've got a fairly unusual product (Reimagined scary teddy bears) and I know there will be a smaller demand for them. I'm wondering if anyone could suggest what catagory to sell them in? I chose 'goth dolls' but I don't think that's quite right.

your bears are just...

so cutely weird.

i love crackleshack.

and your shop name is perfect.

i would need to peek at categories for you.

i like goth dolls.

and you definitely do not want to list them in toys.

They are definitely unique ... they look like great gifts for people who like horror movies, Halloween, macabre stuff.  They're an interesting blend of humor and horror ... almost like a spoof on horror ... or maybe a spoof on cute. 

And maybe a child psychologist or social worker might find them handy for getting kids to describe a crime they witnessed or experienced.

There is a full listing categories list here:

It is different from the buyer categories list, some of the listing categories map onto multiple buyer categories, and some buyer categories they map to also depend on listing attributes. They only do it to confuse us.

Art & Collectibles > Dolls & Miniatures > Art Dolls > Goth & Horror Dolls

Bingo!
