Entering Categories and Attributes

To help buyers find items more efficiently they are listed in categories.  To further identify them in searches, Attributes can be provided.

Specifying categories is done using the category "bread crumb" bar.  

Just like Hansel and Gretel, the "bread crumb" bar leaves a trail to show how you arrived at a chosen category.

On the Item window, the category breadcrumb bar can be found on the Category tab.

The list of categories is provided by Etsy, however sellers are able to create their own shop sections on Etsy to organize the items they have for sale.

To choose a category:

1. On the category "bread crumb" bar, click the arrow on the far left to drop down the outer level of categories.
2. If the chosen category has children, an arrow will appear to its right.  click the arrow to display and select a child.
3. Repeat step 2 until arriving at a leaf category.   At any point, return to any ancestor in the chain and use the arrow to the right to start at that branch again.

To choose a recently selected category:

The 10 most recently used categories are remembered by SixBit.  Click the arrow at the far right of the "bread crumb" bar to view and choose one of the recently used categories.
