Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about character limits and how the tool works.

eBay listing titles are limited to 80 characters. eBay's Cassini search algorithm gives meaningful weight to keywords in the title, so using the full 80 characters with relevant search terms typically outperforms a shorter, vaguer title.
Etsy listing titles allow up to 140 characters. Because titles also get pulled into social media previews and Google search snippets, front-loading the most important 40-55 characters matters even though the full 140 are available.
Etsy listings can have up to 13 tags, each limited to 20 characters. Multi-word exact-match phrases (like \"boho wall art\") tend to perform better in Etsy search than single generic words.
eBay item descriptions support HTML and have an extremely high limit (500,000 characters) that's effectively unlimited for practical use. Etsy shop descriptions are capped at 5,000 characters.
