I appreciate this and will do my best to be at the discussion. Can someone, Please, also define what "Collectibles" IS. To me it seems to be something completely different to other members of the EGADS team (Doll Artists) I belong to. Many of them are vehement that they do not want to be in 'Collecibles' as they consider this is Vintage and nothing to do with them. Is it? To me vintage is 20 years + and Collectibles are one off items; but the fact that I differ in interpretation from many of my fellow team members is causing me great concern. They value the Art category and their place within in. This discussion will be valuable.

Hope all the Artisit in the Prim World will go to the meeting so it will help us understand why this category will not be up, and the best place to add our Prim/Primitive items..... Thank you for the heads up Michelle, do wish we had a place to put prims they need a home on Etsy Annette

Do what now? This has nothing to do with my shop items, but I'm massively confused that apparently one article was replaced with another, with the original article at the bottom. The comments all seem to point to an original one. Forgive me if this sounds harsh, but given all the other articles that appear on here on a daily basis WHY NOT JUST POST A SEPARATE ARTICLE????

Etsy is wonderful and I am so glad that admin listened. I am glad Etsy is abandoning the "collectibles" category. Collectibles is an established description in the antiques and collectibles world. It appears that theintended use here is a little different and thus confusing. Not a good idea for a big drop down category but maybe a good choice. Some of my work (minis) might fit in the collectibles category but it is very confusing. I am already figuring out that using the "ceramics and pottery" category for my work is not always the best. Since there is apparently no bleed through between categories I have started listing appropriate things in "housewares" and get better views that way. Confusing!

MountainEagleCrafter, we decided to write "UPDATE" at the top and consolidate the two posts because we don't want people reading the 1st article without reading the follow-up. People have told us that when there are too many article, they get confused. We don't want to splinter the info into too many "streams."

I do believe we need a better place to put handmade "collectible" items, but not under a collectible heading. As we sell both handcraft and vintage, I consider collectibles as a vintage catagory of long standing and can see a lot of confusion coming up if it is used in the handmade catagory. I think we need a separate catagory for dolls and plushies that are not "art dolls" but not toys either. I also have a problem with the word "plushie". To me that means the item should be made of plush, faux fur or something simular but not cottons, linen, or like fabrics. Stuffies is the word that used to be used for all "stuffed" creatures and fits a much wider catagory. Since I make stuffed things out of a lot of different "fabrics", I would prefer the word stuffies so it would cover them all. Collectible stuffies are usually an adult thing, but I wouldn't want to list my items as "Adult Dolls and Stuffies". Whole new meaning to that catagory! Maybe "Decorative Dolls and Stuffies" as opposed to Art or Toy? Let's just say, I wouldn't want your job! Good luck all!

*sigh* It may be a good idea to study a few other sites for ideas for categories. Some of us are heavy sellers in our field, but not on Etsy because they can't be found. Primitives....VERY hot and should have their own category. Dollhouse Miniatures or Scale Miniatures......same applies. These have been high ticket items for years but nobody here seems to know that. I'll be watching anxiously.
