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?
Same for me. Thousands in revenue gone. Not to mention the repercussions the drop in views and visits and conversion rate is going to have on our shops !!!
@GypsyyyTarotMake competitors happy.
8 of my items (mostly bestsellers) are de-indexed and I would have had no idea without this thread! My sales tanked the last few days, I wonder if it's related. Thank you for posting. I'm contact support immediately, I'm bleeding money every hour these listings are invisible.
This is likely due to the new handmade bot flag review process; I posted more here: https://community.etsy.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Items-not-showing-in-search-and-best-sellers-too/m-p/...
We are having the same issue - listings not visible in search generally, and not visible when our store is searched.
Support have told me it's a temporary search test and visibility will return soon for all affected listings.
@LasarisThey said it's just a temporary search test not a review for handmade policy violation? Thanks god!
It's happening to me too with my Etsy Pick.
My 4 Esty's pick listings got this issue.
Hopefully this won't last long enough for them to lose their bestseller status.
@MENGCACA @Adorabilities my Etsy's Pick is still searchable, but it is no longer a best seller so that is likely why.
Most of my shop is deindexed. I spoke to someone from Etsy on the phone and she said they were working on the problem.
The only thing we can do is waiting. I just got 2 listings indexed, and bestseller badges still there.
How to check if your items are deindexed?
@EvaGiftedHands: To check if a listing is indexed, search for it within your own shop (shop search bar on shop home page).

I don't see any items in your shop at all. I hope that was intentional on your part.

There are no items for sale in your shop, at all. Maybe someone else would be kind enough to take a look, in case it's something strange on my end.
@InspiredFramesCo I can see the same - no items for sale in your shop
I am having the same issue. Six of my listings - all best sellers - and 2 Etsy's Picks are not showing in search or my shop. I am at a loss.
huh, out of curiosity I checked my most popular listing and sure enough it's not showing up at all. Weird.

@InspiredFramesCo I don’t see any listings in your shop at all, they haven’t just been de-indexed they look like they were deactivated. Have you checked if they appear in your deactivated folder?
My item is now indexed again, so report to the helpdesk and then keep an eye on your items. They might be gradually indexed again.
FYI - I didn't get an email informing me it was back up, it just was indexed again. So just check occasionally.
I too am having the same issue. I've done exactly what everyone else has stated, contacted etsy, same responses.
Earlier this morning I checked and saw my bestseller was there but my rivals one wasn't, strange. 20 minutes later I had an order, great! Then around 12pm I just checked again and my listing had dissappeared from the search. It's now nearly 10pm and nothing, etsy told me someone will email me asap. If I hear anything tomorrow I will post here.
