Products Located in Incorrect Marketplace Department

Just a heads up for others and I hope it helps if you find the same issue.

I noticed that my postcards and notepads were not showing up in the appropriate Marketplace Department even though the appropriate department is selected. The postcards were showing up under Greeting Cards and the notepads were displayed under Post-It notes.

I had to go into Edit Details, click change in the Marketplace Department (even though the appropriate department was selected) then click the correct department again. All products were immediately gone from the incorrect department and in the correct one.

I’m guessing changes in the background somehow affected those and there may be more I haven’t found yet.

Well, this has now disappointed me. All the products I moved to the correct department are currently back in the wrong ones. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

On the community post listed here I described changing the marketplace department to “postcard” on many of my designs that were listed as greeting cards. At this point I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve tried changing them. https://community.zazzle.com/t5/share-your-tips-tricks/products-located-in-incorrect-marketplace-department/td-p/246240

Keeping that in mind, yesterday I designed a birthday postcard making sure it was designed on a “postcard” and that the marketplace department showed postcard. I posted it and at the time of posting it showed “postcard” as the Marketplace Department. It had/still has “postcard” added to the title but when I checked this morning the Marketplace Department shows Invitations & Stationery > Greeting Cards > Birthday Cards.

If this is a glitch, I’m making staff aware of it. If something is changing with the Marketplace Departments please let us know so we are aware where the postcards belong. Thanks for any guidance with this issue.

Here’s the postcard example I’m referencing Product ID: 256757824577880366 .

Hey @PAZP ,

My apologies that you didn’t get a response to this back in April. Thank you for taking the time to flag it again.

Thank you very much, Mark. 

Hey Mark since I still hadn’t seen any update I did some investigating. Quite a number of my postcards were still showing in the marketplace as greeting cards. I believe the problem is solved. I noticed that many were listed under Thank You, Congratulations, and Birthday greeting cards. I removed those words from the title, description and keywords. All the cards seem to now be listed under Postcards in the marketplace now. Let’s hope it sticks.

Well, a day later after all those changes and the postcards are back in the Greeting Card Marketplace Department. Very frustrating.
