Rule 03 · Photo and video slots

规则 03 · 图片与视频位

I used to leave half the photo grid empty. Etsy gives you the slots so buyers can see scale, texture, and packing — not so the page looks sparse.

Rule 03

What this means: current Help guidance allows up to 20 photos and 1–2 videos per listing. You do not have to fill every slot — but empty slots mean less proof for the buyer.

If you ignore it: the listing still publishes. Shoppers just get fewer angles, fewer close-ups, and less packing proof than shops that use the space.

How I fix it: I plan a short shot list — hero, scale, detail, packing, process — then fill what I can. Every photo still follows Rule 01 and Rule 02 on size.

FAQ

Do videos replace photo slots?

No. Videos sit in their own 1–2 allowance. Photos still have up to 20 slots in current Help guidance.

Must every listing use all 20 photos?

No. You do not have to fill every slot — but empty ones do not help buyers compare detail.

Does TagPeek upload videos for me?

No. TagPeek checks the listing page you open. It does not edit your shop.
