I list items like Barbie Dolls and when I go to search.. thousands of others are found. Listing is free but what good is it if no one can find what you are selling. OBVIOUSLY you have to pay to be seen which is higher than listing fees. The old way was NEWLY listed items were first in search BUT no longer. In order to be seen.. you have to pay the piper. Not fair!

I find your items in bonz search also…
However, if you are talking about google search (google shopping, not organic) then yes you have to use one of the advertising packages, since google now requires payment to be listed, but you will only pay the extra FVF if the item sells as a result of a paid ad…
I see you have been here since 2011 which means you should also know the google rules by now about all caps in titles is not search optimal…luckily bonz changes to normal punctuation for searches…
If you search in less than a 24hrs after listing..the items may not have been indexed yet…
Membership can boost your listings over others in bonz search, but you are not suppressed from search without one

Do You mean in Google or Bonanza search?
I’ve used in the Bonanza search box the phrase “SLEEPING BEAUTY BARBIE DOLL” and Your item has been the fourth on the list (out of 26):
