🎨 Arts & Crafts
Art supplies, craft materials, sewing, and creative hobbies.
How do I categorize mixed kits or bundles (e.g., "sketching kit" with pencils + eraser + sharpener)?
+
On Facebook Marketplace, list the bundle under the dominant use. For sketching sets, go to Art Supplies → Drawing Supplies. If it's a painting kit, choose the Painting path; for embroidery starter sets, choose Needlecrafts. When listing mixed bundles on Facebook Marketplace, if one item clearly drives value, default to that item's category.
How should I list paints, brushes, and canvases?
+
When listing art supplies on Facebook Marketplace, use the painting branch for these items. Paints, brushes, palettes, and canvases typically sit under Art Supplies → Painting Supplies. If you're listing specialty media (e.g., gouache, oil mediums), still prefer the Painting Supplies category over a generic "Other."
Where do sketchbooks, pads, and paper go?
+
On Facebook Marketplace, categorize them with the medium they're meant for. General sketchbooks and drawing pads → Art Supplies → Drawing Supplies. Watercolor paper blocks → Painting Supplies. Mixed-media pads can go with Drawing if no watercolor-specific intent is obvious.
If my item could fit two places, which one should I choose?
+
For Facebook Marketplace listings, choose the path that matches buyer intent and specificity. When in doubt, pick the most specific category a real buyer would browse (e.g., Drawing vs. broad Art Supplies). Avoid splitting variants across different categories—keep similar items together for consistency in your Facebook Marketplace listings.
Can I list handmade art here, or is this page only for supplies?
+
Handmade and finished artwork should not be listed under Arts & Crafts supplies on Facebook Marketplace. Instead, use Home & Kitchen → Home Decor → Decorative Accents → Posters, Prints & Paintings for finished pieces. Reserve the Arts & Crafts category for tools and materials only.
Are "Other/General" leaves bad for visibility?
+
"Other/General" categories work when nothing else fits, but specific Facebook Marketplace categories typically perform better in browse and recommendations. When listing arts and crafts items, prefer the exact medium (Drawing, Painting, Needlecrafts, etc.) over an "Other" bucket whenever possible for better visibility.
