I’ve been listing my items in my booth for the last 2 weeks. I uploaded them but have been filling out attributes and fixing the listings. But I can’t find my items in search. One is a pair of opal earrings. If I search “opal earrings” there are 2,740 results and my earrings aren’t there. If I search “blue opal earrings” or the exact phrase from my title “blue opal earrings sterling silver” it returns 272 results and my earrings aren’t there.
What am I doing wrong? Can I not see my own items in search? Do I still need to wait for all of them to be indexed on the site? I have a platinum membership and my “turbo” days already ran. Do my items only show in search on “turbo” days? I’m not talking about external search like Google, but the Bonanza site search.
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I searched for one of your items. I entered in search “apple pin brooch” and 114 came up including yours.

In my search, out of 251 “blue opal earrings sterling silver”, Yours are already there, on the second page.

Bonanza has gone somewhat “Googlesque” in that in any given search by the time you get through the “Sponsored” items and then the “Catalogue Recommendations” your listings may be further down the search path. Bonanza search is not a generic search and it doesn’t have to be. Bonanza owns the venue so they can set how the platform works. It’s capitalism and the American way. Some have referred to it as pay-to-play. ;) BTW, as with ArtistsUnion, I found a couple of your items in Bonanza search.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
