My views have been down massively the last few days.
Upon searching for my bestsellers i have found these are absolutely nowhere to be found in search.
I ranked top for several items in my etsy shop under several different searches for each item.
Now for example when i type in 'football water bottle' in search (i had a best seller in this search on page 1) i have got all the way to page 84 (the last page) My item is nowhere to be found!
Is there a issue with etsy search at the moment?
Hi everyone - thanks so much for bringing this issue to our attention so that our team could look into it. While rankings in search are based on many factors, we have discovered a technical glitch that limited the visibility of a very small subset of items in search. This occurred during our routine sweeps to keep our marketplace safe and identify prohibited items. We are in the process of implementing a solution, and impacted listings should be restored to search within the next several hours. We apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused.

I got also similar issue today. Some of my listings disappears in search results, I still can't see the listings after browsed 100+ pages. And those listings even can not be searched in my own shop.
I even searched football water bottles in my own shop and they dont come up!!!
But yet if i click on 'all' they come up!
I am so confused!
Both of your shops are indexed.
Yes, same situation
Im going to try contact etsy. see what the issue is.
When I search "personalized football water bottle," I see a shop selling images exactly the same as yours. If these are your original drawings, you might look into that.
Hi, no they are purchased files from a designer several people sell them but my listing are totally gone yet there still active in my shop.
If i search in my shop they dont even come up!
I'm finding this new gift idea has nothing easy to find wax melts only candles
ye my best seller has disappeared too
do they show up with other search terms?
etsy does block best sellers from their main search term, and has, on-and-off for years, for me, it's on-and-off, for others it's a permanent block
it's not down in search, it's not there at all,
you can check by giving it a weird price, like 11.71, then filter on price
from etsy ranking disclosure
no i have checked every search term possible.
and if i search my own shop they dont even come up!
I typed
football
football water bottle
water bottle
in your shop search, and each time it showed me items in your shop, including the football water bottle which is your bestseller
edited ..... ooops, sorry the girls one came up, not your bestseller
Thats odd because both me & hubby tried and it only brings up one water bottle which is the girls version.
But my bestselling is the boy version.
Id screenshot to show but i dont think i am able to upload images to here.
the notification delay on the forums is terrible at the moment, no, it did no come up in search
Did you get response from Etsy help?
Ive just sent them an email.
I stated i am not the only seller experiencing this issue.
Hopefully will get a response soon.
I will let you know when i do
I'm chatting with the online agent now.
If they give you a solution please let me know
Whenever I search for any of my items a few of them come up on the first page. I thought the kind etsy bot was just throwing a few of mine in the mix to make me feel better *laugh emoji*
They said "At this moment I can't share with you an exact reason, however I will send a request to resolve it as soon as possible"
They are so much help arnt they! *rolls eyes*
im wondering what they mean by they cant share the exact reason.
do they know there is a issue?
or are they clueless? haha!
How did you manage to speak to a live agent?
Just thinking if i report the issue to them they might move abit quicker!
Thank you for confirming your email. I have already sent your information. Please keep an eye on your email. Our dedicated team receives several requests so they are going to contact you as soon as possible. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
They can't fix this issue.
