Thank you, however, this is exactly like what Etsy would respond with. "other items can be seen"
What happens with the best selling car is put in the garage at a shop and it sells 500x better than all of the other cars? Traffic and sales drop.
When my best selling item isn't even found under the search term that leads to sales...I've got issues. I drill down/filter to try to figure out what might be causing an issue. When then I can't find that item by the search term I'm using and the number of search results differs in my shop than in Etsy's main search...something isn't right. Typically, it is a test or a glitch.
I normally know when this is happening when suddenly out of the blue the items that typically sell stop selling, traffic drops and revenue drops. The other red flag is when items that rarely sell, get traffic and sell, but only make up for my lost normal sales by about 25-50%. My conversion rate also has crashed at this point down to 0._%.
So, not being seen by specific search terms for one product even though other items might show up can have a huge impact on a shop. Typically, it is a test. I think the test shut off for two days and then started back up today. I had an influx of sales from my "best sellers" and now none have sold since yesterday.
It stinks...how can one manage inventory when Etsy has no predictability all due to their internal tests.
