New listing doesn't appear in search results

Jump to solution

I created a new listing yesterday, and as usual copied another listing to do it. The item does not appear in the search at all - checked by filtering to my own country. It seems to be there (the count of items matching the search seems to include it) but the number of items displayed always excludes it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is a bummer to pay for a listing and have it totally not appear in search at all. There are no issues I can see with the listing... it displays in my shop fine.

@cindylouwho2 seems there was nothing wrong with it and there was just an unusually long delay for the listing to appear in search (the tech team quoted me 24-48 hours).

@FuzzyFoxDesigns: Does the listing come up if you search inside your own shop? If yes, the listing is indexed. Keep in mind that if everyone on this forum searched for the exact same phrase they would all get different results. Because of "personalized searches" you can NOT rely on anyone's search results to define how your listing is displayed. There are several threads in this forum about not being able to find things with the latest search. The Listings Page in shop manager (preferably using a browser) should be the definitive word on the status of all of your listings.

@BagmakerSupply it's actually pretty easy to filter down & see if a particular listing is showing up. Ranking is personalized only a tiny bit, but appearance is not. Frequency capping is pretty much never applied to new listings, and these days is more likely to de-rank rather than hide entirely.

It's very possible the OP has run into something that is removing items for certain areas etc. as that is the flavour of the month bot, and that issue won't be seen in the shop manager.

no one can help you without knowing the listing and the search.

I can see 208 Listings. How many should there be. Which listing is the "new" one?

This one was added 11 Sept https://www.etsy.com/listing/562152402/unicorn-cross-stitch-pattern-pdf

But it has 1317 Favorites, so it is probably a renewed Listing
