hidden products

2368 hidden products today.   How can Zazzle hide that many at one time and expect us to fix that many?  Not fair !   give up !  No one else hides products.  Doesn't  Zazzle  realize that they are also losing  a lot of sales by hiding our stuff?  Why should we even bother making products just to have them hidden from the public !!!

Hey @AWESOMA,

It sounds like your products are being hidden as they require optimization. This should be indicated in the back end of your store. 

You can find information on this in the Marketplace Optimization help center article.

I understand. But a while ago Zazzle said that they would only hide a handful at a time so we could we keep up with it. 2368 isn't a handful.

@AWESOMA   I personally totally appreciate that Zazzle does that in fact. I usually maybe post one new product a day so once that reaches 15 months (I think that’s the timeframe, right?) it’s easy for me to look at it to see what I could improve in that particular listing. Now I’m a snail 🐌 creating on Zazzle so I’m a bit shocked that you had over two thousand designs reaching the 15 month at the same day - you must work at blizzard speed!! 😮

The more products you have, the more will be hidden. And I make them just how I want them to be, so I'm not optimizing anything.  Just because a product  wasn't viewed in 15 months, doesn't mean it never will be. Most of my sales are from products that I made years ago . There are so many sellers and products being sold on Zazzle that lots of them are bound to be overlooked. That's not a reason to hide them from the public. I just think it's ridiculous because not only are we losing sales , but so is Zazzle.  No one ever knows what might sell, and when, so why hide products?  When you go out shopping, do you walk into an empty store?
