Where the heck are my listings?

[soupking]

Hi Zazzle peeps,

I hit the "Sell It" button to finally find where to add tags etc. There was no clone option, so I repeated that process for all 8 design versions of my product. Now...there's no way to access them. I have to click on "recent" designs or go through browser history to find them. There's no simple page. This is so frustrating. 

Yesterday, I found out I can't upload calendars because of errors after designing all 12 months. Now I can't find the bumper stickers I made last night. Can somebody please please please tell where I'm supposed to go to see my listings. They're just not listed. All that's provided is the original generic "bumper sticker" type where I started, but the results are nowhere to be found.

Thanks for reading,
-X

Assuming you actually published them for sale, your products are here:

https://www.zazzle.com/store/g_eneric/products

Look at the top right of your screen, on the bottom right of your banner.
If you see some small white text that says "view public storefront", then that means you are signed-in and looking at what we refer to as the "back-end".
If it instead says "return to store management",  that means you are viewing your store as a shopper would see it.
New products can take a day or two to "index" and be visible in the public view of your store front and in the MP (market place), but, they are still live & active and can be viewed by anyone with a direct link so you can still share & promote them.
If you're not seeing anything in the back-end view, then either you didn't finish the publishing process, or maybe created a product type that requires review first, in which case they show in the "under review" tab in your Save Designs section.

IT APPEARS i WAS LATE IN POSTING WHAT'S BELOW. Anyway, it's another way of seeing how to do it.

if you're starting your design process from https://www.zazzle.com/store/YOUR  STORE NAME/products (best place to start), there should be a button up at the top on left that says "Create new product." Click the button and you can then choose a product to design on. Once you're satisfied with your design, click the "Done" button and take a good look to make sure all text is correct and, if it's replaceable by the customer, that it's been turned into a template and that it can be edited on the product's page. If anything needs fixing, click "Edit this design." After this, click the "Sell it" button and you'll land on the information page to fill in title, description, tags, etc.

Go back to your version of the link I gave you, which brings you to what we all call the "back end" of the store. Your newly created product should appear there.

I can't imagine what has gone wrong other than that maybe you're not starting with and ending with your store's back end.

Hi Barbara, 

I was stuck in my profile and the page linkage between the profile and the store are not all that intuitive if you don't know where to look as it's not provided in any menu options. There is the tiny link in the header on the far right, and you can twirl your store down from the top logo. That's it. It makes sense I suppose once you know where it is. However, the default to profile previous to store was what had me hung up. 

It's great that Zazzle provides an actual URL for your store and not just some long string generated number. I believe I'm still waiting for my content to be searchable, but at least I can find my products to do full-scale updates. That's what I was really trying to do to minimize iterations and make good use of my spare time. 

Rolling now, thanks!
