🌿 Patio & Garden
Outdoor furniture, garden tools, plants, grills, pools, and everything for your outdoor living space.
Should I list outdoor furniture with cushions separately or together?
+
List them together under Patio & Garden → Outdoor Furniture. If selling furniture with cushions as a set, keep them in one listing. If selling replacement cushions alone, still use the Outdoor Furniture category but make it clear in the title and description that it's cushions only.
Where do I list gas vs. electric vs. manual garden tools?
+
Power equipment (gas, electric, battery-operated) goes under Outdoor Power Equipment. Manual, hand-operated tools go under Garden Hand Tools & Equipment. For example: gas lawn mower → Outdoor Power Equipment; push reel mower → Garden Hand Tools & Equipment.
How should I categorize plant pots, planters, and containers?
+
All pots and planters belong in Plant Care, Soil & Accessories → Pots & Planters regardless of material (ceramic, plastic, wood, metal). This includes hanging planters, window boxes, and raised planter beds.
What's the difference between Garden Decor and outdoor furniture?
+
Garden Decor is purely decorative (statues, wind chimes, garden flags, stepping stones). Outdoor Furniture is functional seating, tables, and storage you actually use. If someone sits on it, eats on it, or stores things in it, it's furniture. If it just looks nice, it's decor.
Should live plants go in a different category than seeds?
+
Yes. Live plants and seedlings go under Plants & Seedlings. Seeds and bulbs have their own subcategory: Seeds & Bulbs. Seed starting kits go under Plant Growing Kits. All three are within the Plants, Seeds & Bulbs parent category.
Where do BBQ accessories like grill covers and tools go?
+
Keep all grilling items together in Outdoor Cooking. Grill covers → Barbecue & Grill Covers. BBQ tools and spatulas → BBQ Tools & Accessories. The actual grill → Barbecues, Grills & Smokers. Fire pits also belong in Outdoor Cooking.
Can I list pool toys and floats in the same category as the pool itself?
+
Yes, everything pool-related stays in Pools & Spas. Swimming pools themselves go in one subcategory, pool toys and floats in another, cleaning tools in another, but they're all under the same parent category for easy browsing.
Should outdoor lighting go in Patio & Garden or elsewhere?
+
Decorative outdoor lighting typically goes in Home & Kitchen → Lighting. However, pond lights specifically designed for water features should go in Ponds & Water Features → Pond Lights. Use buyer intent as your guide.
