Said It Here

Why are my new shop listings not showing up in search?

New listings often fail to appear immediately in search results or public shop pages, leaving sellers invisible to buyers while competitors continuously dominate recommendations. Because the indexing process is unclear and difficult to navigate, sellers are left guessing whether their setup is correct or if they are missing critical steps.
