There have been a few discussions here over time about which Etsy category is best for physical POD posters, so I thought it might be worth bringing the topic together in one place and looking at Etsy’s own guidance as well. 👀 The question usually seems to come down to something like: Home & Living → Home Decor → Wall Decor vs. Art & Collectibles → Prints or another more specific category. My understanding from previous discussions was that the category choice probably didn’t make a huge difference. However, Etsy currently states in its Seller Handbook that: • More specific categories can give listings greater visibility • Categories act like additional tags • More specific categories can unlock additional attributes • Those attributes are used to match listings with shoppers' searches They also directly address the idea that “categories aren't important” as a myth. Official Etsy source: https://www.etsy.com/de/seller-handbook/article/171275784551 So I thought it would be useful to ask the question again, but this time with Etsy’s own guidance in mind: For physical POD wall art/posters, which category do you currently consider the best fit? Wall Decor? Prints? Another more specific category? And more importantly: do you still see the choice as largely irrelevant, or do you think category and attributes deserve more attention than we may have given them in the past? Would be really interested to hear what Tom, Max, Mihai and the rest of the community think.

Okay, I have a VERY serious question. Well, sort of. 😂 I just checked my Etsy dashboard and apparently my October Star Seller progress is looking absolutely fantastic! 100% message response rate ✅ 100% on-time shipping ✅ 5.0 star rating ✅ 0 cases ✅ Etsy even proudly tells me my progress is "Stellar!" 🌟 Amazing, right?! There's just one tiny, absolutely insignificant detail... I HAVEN'T MADE A SINGLE SALE IN 33 DAYS!!! 😂😂 Not one. Zero. Nothing. My shop has apparently decided to take an extended vacation without informing me. And now comes the part where my brain completely stops working. WAIT... DOES THIS MEAN I COULD ACTUALLY BECOME A STAR SELLER ON NOVEMBER 1ST?! 🤯🤣 For the FIRST time ever?! After more than a month of selling absolutely nothing?! And if this glorious sales streak continues, I might even lose the badge again in December because I won't have enough orders?! WHAT?! 😂😂 Now, before anyone starts explaining the three-month evaluation period, yes, I'm aware of that part. I understand that Etsy looks at the previous three months. But still... doesn't this feel just a LITTLE bit ridiculous?! 🤣 I'm sitting here celebrating 33 consecutive days of absolutely no sales, and Etsy might be preparing to hand me an award for being an outstanding seller. So, genuine question to the experienced Star Sellers here: Am I actually understanding this correctly? Could I really receive my very first Star Seller badge on November 1st if all my current stats stay exactly as they are? Or am I overlooking something? 😂 Because at this point, I might be getting promoted to Star Seller and unemployed seller at the exact same time. 🏆😂 Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds this absolutely hilarious!

Hey guys, We have heard your feedback for wanting more mock ups in the bulk listing tool, and especially more ones that both reflect our frames and also do not look / are not AI generated Well, we've created the perfect solution! We have built a tool that takes real life photos, and turns them into PSD mock ups to be uploaded to the bulk lister. See below for examples, these are all photos I took in the past couple of days in Bali. So, in order for us to make as many of these as possible, we would like your help! Please, if you don't mind sharing, take lots of photos around your house! And then I will magic them into PSD mock up. I've attached lots of examples of how it works, and what you can photograph. As you can see it is quite smart - you can take photos of empty walls, existing posters, sofas, chairs, outdoor areas, anything! Your contribution will be massively appreciated - the more we all upload the more choice we have! Please upload images to the Google Drive below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YO5DGF3g8pPiplIzSuOgUyJ8bQ8s_QzA?usp=drive_link Normal phone photos are fine, try and take photos where you can imagine a poster, they don't need to be perfect and this also accounts for image tilt so don't stress about that. Daylight without flash is best :) Thank you very much guys, we should be able to get a lot more mock ups options for everyone through this! :D Lots of love as always ❤️

Hey everyone! 👋 I just received an email from Etsy announcing new GPSR-related features and upcoming enforcement requirements. According to Etsy, starting February 1, 2027, sellers classified as traders who sell to the EU/NI will need to provide manufacturer and EU responsible person information for listings in applicable product categories. Back on June 11, 2026, Max mentioned in a previous GPSR discussion that PrintShrimp was working on providing its own GPSR information. Since Etsy now seems to be moving towards enforcing these requirements, I thought this would be a good time to revisit the topic. @Max Murray , is there any update on the GPSR information PrintShrimp was working on? For those of us selling physical wall art and posters, it would be great to know whether there are any additional steps we should take or documentation we should prepare. I'm not sure whether posters will be among the categories affected by Etsy's upcoming enforcement, but I'd rather get everything sorted out in advance. 😅 Thanks!

Hi all, Can I have some feedback on my shop please, My shop will sell all types and styles of poster nothing narrowed down to help keep variety. Ive had to remove all my old uploads and start again as realised I uploaded them incorrectly. So hopefully 3rd time will be better🫤 Please let me know any positive and negative feedback. allwallsprintco.etsy.com
