In this article, we will discuss how to fix the sizing issues on Amazon.

What is the sizing issue on Amazon?

Recently Amazon’s sizing issue became much more familiar. Amazon’s sizing issue means, incorrect size names, the sizing order is not displayed sequentially, and the size names appear multiple times. The sizing issues are described below.

Naturally your product size name may appear incorrectly. There are many times you use the wrong size name when listing products. Sometimes it happens when you/multi sellers listed products at different times with different size names. There are many types of size names, alphabetic, alphanumerical, numeric, etc.

Here 4x-Large, 5X-Large, and 6X-Large are incorrect size names. Listing the wrong size name here causes the wrong size name to appear. When listing products, you should keep in mind the importance of size names.

The incorrect sizing order means sizing drop-downs do not appear to be in the correct order. The sizing order always depends on the variation theme. There are many types of variation themes for example, size, color, sizecolor, colorsize, SizeName-ColorName, ColorName-SizeName, etc. When you list products, you must keep in mind the variation theme.

Here the sizing drop-down is showing with the wrong order. The sizing order need to show match below:

Small

Medium

Large

X-Large

XX-Large

But you can see the fast size name is large and the size name small is showing at 4th. Now it is point, why the size name large shows at fast and size name small is showing at 4th position? For choosing the wrong variation theme the sizing drop-down showing at the wrong order.

In this listing, the variation theme “colorsize”. The variation theme “colorsize” means at first, the color names are sorting then the size names.

In the above picture, the order of the names is arranged first then the size names. The color name Acu Digital Camo displays fast because “a” is the first letter. Since the color Acu Digital Camo has one size “Large” so it appears first.

In the above picture, in the color drop-down black is showing at 2nd position. The color black has 3 sizes medium, Large, and X-large. Here the size medium needs to display first in sizing drop-down. But when color name Acu Digital Camo sort at first that’s why the size name Large set as first size name in sizing drop-down.

In the same way color name Multicam sort as position 3rd in color drop-down option. Please see the above picture, for color Multicam has 5 sizes Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large. In the meantime size names Large, Medium, and X-Large sorted, that’s why the sizes Small and XX-Large sorted after size names Large, Medium, and X-Large.

At this stage you can understand the importance of the variation theme in sizing drop-down.

In some cases it is seen that same size names appear multiple times. It happens, if multiple sellers listed a product multiple times, use different variation themes, and use different size names for the same size of different color for a product.

Here, in the sizing drop-down you can see size name 3X-Large and XXX-Large both are showing together. Here the same size names appear multiple times.
