Sell Button Not Showing in Design Tool

[oldladybiz]

I have read other posts about possible reasons for this happening and none of the scenarios apply to my situation. I created new products this morning - no problem. Signed out and came back later and now when I try to create a new products (using just my design - no backgrounds, etc.), the only option it gives me is to Share - not Sell. I've been oh hold forever with Chat and have not been able to get this resolved. Please help!

You'll need to add the design to a physical product first, then you'll be offered the ability to sell it. Go into the Products tab on the left side of the design tool and you can select the physical product to sell your artwork on.

Thank you! It worked. What  I don't understand is why the process changed from this morning. I am building my store and on the Store Management page, it showed under STORE COMPLETION before a link that said Create Products. Now it only shows Share Products. Oh well, thanks to you, it's another way to get to what I need. Thank you again!

Maybe something here can help you. A lot of people have trouble with this issue and there are many reasons, so I wrote this up a while ago.

I read this prior to coming here. It does not apply to my situation, but thank you.
