Original Post

I might not sleep tonight worrying I am a tag abuser.

If I have abused any tags, arrest me now please.

Throw me on the ground and cuff me, let me be the Carol Gotbaum of tag abuse.

There's one advantage to being a newbie. Ignorance is bliss...

OH stop worrying about it.

Next week, it'll be some other issue ppl are complaining is being abused.

The site isn't perfect,and I am sure a lot of us unintentionally did tag abuse.

As long as you aren't selling greeting cards but have them listed as "jewelry" you should be ok.

I'm so sick of hearing about tag abuse. Seriously-people-give it a rest. Most people know what they are looking for and the hundreds of mis-tagged items are not going to change their minds! If I get too many things in a search, I add another keyword to narrow it down! It's not hard!

LOL_Sorry!

I'm really concerned too about it all. I sell handmade supplies, and I'm scared to death that the tags that "sell" my items will be unusable :(

Posted at 3:58pm Oct 8, 2007 EDT

I don't mean to pout about tags, I guess I'm just a bit confused over how to tag my specific items. The whole fiasco is making me paranoid.

Maybe I am more sensitive to it since I am a "supplies" seller and the people in the forums tend to dislike supplies sellers.
