    I used to stock my shop at night and sell out of most of it by 12 the next day. However a few days ago it started selling only like 5 things a day. Now I checked on the wizard with a few items and it turns out that even though i havae the lowest price it never shows up no matter how many times i search. Even in the "d" section where my shop is supposed to be, but the item i have is piced lower then the rest yet still does not show up there. I have tried this with a few items and mine will never show up. However I am selling a few items a day so my theory is that im not showing up on the normal shop wiz, but I am on the super shop wiz. So, only premium users can see me. Why would this happen?

    Well, perhaps somebody is lower than you know?
    People often try to get lower and lower until they are surely the lowest.

    Well, i'm somewhat sure you cant see your own shop in shop wizard, so you could try to search for it on a different account.

    and, i think what cheetos tried to say is, 1 shop wizard search does now neccesarily shows the lowest shop, you have to search a few times, sicne everytime the price range will differ a little.

    I dont know how you price your items, by just searchign the item once on shop wizard, then lowering it by x amount, but, chances are, someone runs autopricer right after, and hop, your not the lowest anymore, and he sets up a chain of lower prices, and before you know it noone will buy.

    If not this, all you can do is be patient, as some items arent in a high need as the other >_>

    Thanks Sammi.

    I'm 100% sure you can see your own shops in a search because i have before many times. Also, I understand that he searches a certain set of shops every time you refresh. There are 15 sets of shops he searches according to the first letter of your name. Mine is D so when i see shops whose owners names are D Q or 3 mine should be there. However it is not despite the fact that my item is a lower price then all of them. This is as i stated in my first post. For example I have a scratchcard for 600. I refresh and no other scratchcard is that low. I get to the DQ3 section and the first on the list is 675 but mine is not there. Just to be sure i RF about 20 more times and never see my shop despite the fact that no card is lower then 600. This leads me to belive I have been somehow barred from showing up on the normal shop wiz.

    What are you talking about?
    SSW is the simplest thing ever!
    It shows like the lowest 10 shops.

    no actually it isnt. i have it too. ok so if u want the price in the middle of the ssw pamphlet u have to make shure no one else in your letter column is below u. because if 2 are below u it will not show up. it shows the two cheapest from each letter grouping

    if you are trying to see yourself selling "race to riches scratchcard"s then there is a good chance you will NOT be able to find yourself on the wiz when you are selling them for cheap, try with a different item,

    I understand that you keep not finding yourself in the D section, but if you are trying to do that with scratchcards there is a glitch or something, try it with a different item. I had the same problem aswell

    Scratchcards were only an example. I have tried it with many different items. Please note that I did not discover this because i was looking for myself, but because my shop started selling about 90% less items then normal. As I result I guessed that i may not be showing up and so far this seems to be the case.

    Have you tried upgrading your shop, or changing the marketplace that your shop is in?

    This is getting VERY annoying. I can't make any money this way.
