Your item name and description must accurately describe your item and its elements. They should both provide relevant information that makes it easy for buyers to find items meeting their needs.

 

The name field should always be relevant, concise, and professional looking. The following are examples of good and bad naming practices:

Good:

• “This is the File Name” – Capitalize the first letter in each word. Small words like “of” and “an” may be lowercase.
• “Template with CMS” – Capitalize acronyms and abbreviations like XML and PSD.

Bad:

• “THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE” – Do not use all CAPS.
• “this is also not acceptable” – Do not use all lowercase.
• “Beautiful File” or “The Best Template” – Do not use subjective words like brilliant, amazing, or best. These words describe your opinion rather than what the file actually is.
• “UserName – File Name” – Do not append your username or any other less-relevant information to the file name.
• “Apple-like Design” – Do not describe what your item is similar to in its title, describe what it actually is.

Your description must accurately describe all elements of your main file—ensure you mention anything shown in the preview not included in the main .zip and note if any main element is rasterized, outlined or otherwise not editable. 

Image Preview

Create a 590x300 JPG for your preview image. Make sure your preview image is an accurate representation of your file.

Thumbnail

Create an 80x80 JPG, PNG or GIF for your thumbnail. Make sure your thumbnail accurately represents your file.

Main File

Save your main files into a .zip folder, including all instructions. Ensure the files are organised in a clear and orderly fashion.

Preview Image Set (Optional)

You can provide additional preview images. They must JPGs no larger than 900x900px, and named in the order that you want them to appear using the following format:01_preview1.jpg, 02_preview2.jpg, 03_closeup.jpg. Create a .zip folder containing your additional preview images.

Choose a suitable category for your file. 
Select which file types are included in your download (you can select multiple items)

Select which software and versions of software your file can be opened in.

Enter tags that accurately describe your item. Tags should be lower case, separated by commas, spelled correctly (using American Standard English) and should relate to your item, its specifications and its possible uses. 

Write a note to the reviewer explaining how your design is unique, the idea behind the design, and how a buyer can use it.
