Etsy Personalization Instructions Checker — illustrative example INPUT Listing states a 12-character personalization limit; the field says up to 20. Seller confirms production accepts at most 12 letters or spaces. Missing instructions require contacting the buyer before production. RESULT Finding: the field's 20-character instruction conflicts with the confirmed 12-character production limit. Replacement instruction: Enter the text to personalize, using up to 12 letters or spaces. Please check spelling before submitting. If the text is missing, we will contact you before production. Example valid text: Maya Lee, 8 characters including the space. REVIEW Personalization instructions need to tell the buyer what to submit and what will happen if they omit it. Check length and character rules for consistency. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
