Categories on Etsy are used to filter searches and match items with more relevant searches. They should describe what the item is, not how it is used or made. Attributes work in tandem with tags and can affect placement in Etsy search. Etsy makes regular updates to categories based on feedback, changes on Etsy, and research on buyer and seller behavior. If you don't see a category that best describes your product, send a suggestion to Etsy. Read more.
