I clicked on your username to get to your store, and I didn't see any items for you to sell. Do you have your store or products set to "private"? If you have the store set to private, people can't see your products there, but if the products themselves are public, they should be found in Zazzle's main marketplace during a search. Read over the "sticky" topics (those with envelopes beside them) at the start of this very forum. http://forum.zazzle.es/newTop Ten Mistakes... is a good place to start. How long have you been on Zazzle? It can take several weeks to several months to get at least one sale.

PS - you've only been here a couple of days...it took me over a month and I honestly think I just got really lucky...I'm not expecting sales quickly... Good luck to you...do not give up...

If it is "In Progress" you just need to wait for it to be published by Zazzle. It usually does not take long, maybe a few hours at most. If it's something like stamps or shoes that needs to be approved by Zazzle staff it may take a day or two...possibly longer.

Did you click on "Post for Sale"? If you do not click that and add your tags, then the item will go into the "In progress" file.

It'll "get out" on its own once you post for sale. As advised by others, you have to wait. Give Zazzle time to put it in your store...maybe a few minutes, or a few hours. If you have chosen to get an email when your products are published, you'll get one when Zazzle puts the items in your store. If you're anxious to get notices ASAP (as soon as possible), you need to set the notifications for immediately. Go to "My Account"..."Notifications", and you'll see - - Notifications Send me a confirmation email when I publish a product. Immediately Daily Weekly Monthly

By any chance, when you're done, are you hitting the "Save" button and thinking that's it? The "Post for Sale" link is in red below the Save button, and you have to click that in order to post a product to the marketplace. ("Save" just puts it "In Progress" to come back to work on later.) Then, as bkmuir suggested, you'll be asked for a title, tags, descriptions, categories, royalty rate, etc. If you haven't entered those, then your products aren't visible to anyone but you. You should be able to click on the product in your In Progress folder and see the "Post for Sale" link on the page. Enter all the information and follow through, and your products will show up as soon as they're done processing. Also, as noted above, don't worry about not selling or people not liking your designs when you've only been here for a day! There are several billion products on Zazzle and far more in the general search engines. It will take time for people to even know your store exists, and you'll have a lot more curious browsers than buyers, even then. But persistence and patience are great virtues to have here. Once you get your products in the marketplace, you can help by doing some advertising on your own - creating blogs, Facebook pages, Squidoo lenses, or just taking opportunities offered by others in the "Promote" forum. You'll not only increase the chance of bringing in your own customers (and getting referral fees for purchases if you use the right links), but you'll have a better chance of the search engines finding you, too, if you get good links out there. Read the stickied threads at the top of the "New to Zazzle" forum for a lot of other helpful tips to get you started. Good luck! Patricia PR Prints Edited to add: I notice in your description you refer to "gamer tees." Just to try to save you from trouble later, you know you're not allowed to refer to any video games (or other types of games, books, movies, celebrities, brand names of any kind, etc.) or use images taken from them, right? Only the company that makes the games is allowed to profit off their name/popularity. You can create generic designs about loving to play video games, but you can't use any names or intellectual property in anyway - including tags and descriptions. Just thought I'd add that in case you weren't aware.

Here's a link to an almost duplicate discussion going on in another thread the OP started so everyone can be on the same page: http://forum.zazzle.es/create/help_i_need_to_make_and_sell_it_wont_let_me?m=376165#376165.

I think that PPRints is telling you that you (or someone else has) asked very similar questions in various parts of the forum. I've seen 2-3 posts from you in various parts of the forum, where you're asking for help on the same topic...how to get your products posted in your store, and how to add your tags and descriptions. You only need to post the question once and in one part of the forum. It can be frustrating to wait for an answer, but that's all we can do...wait until someone has a chance to answer. Just try to stick to one area where you posted the question, and it'll be easier for others to answer you, and probably quicker, too. Your other post - http://forum.zazzle.es/createTake care.

I think as another zazzler stated, you are not actually posting your items. Just because the system automatically "saves" it does not mean that it posts them...it just "saves" what you have done so far, which does NOT include "posting". The only items I know that might stay in "private", not in "progress" are the stamps and shoes...other than that, you need to go to your "in progress" link and click on each item and then hit the "Post for Sale" link...fill out the info and then they should show up as public within a few minutes...usually...
Good luck!

you were also warned about using the neon blue font.
it has become clearly apparent to me that you do not want help - you only want attention.
you have wasted too much of my time, i am done with you.

To be fair, the OP has said (in the other thread) that they are 12, which means we should give them a bit of a break.
And as it turns out, that's likely the issue, in fact. They probably aren't able to post because of the age restriction (must be over 13). That explains a lot of the confusion on both sides.
There are some options posted in the other thread that will hopefully help zazzlestar to continue to be creative and learn the ropes until old enough to have a store of their own.

I agree.
Some people (of all ages) just don't know a lot about forums or sites, and we have to be patient with them.

I've heard of kids whose parents allow them to have tv's, computers, and video game consoles in their bedrooms will stay up at extremely late hours such as this. So I wouldn't be surprised. (It is unfortunate and not wise of parents to allow it, and if I had kids I wouldn't allow it, but it does happen.) It is possible that the OP is pulling our chain and playing games with us. But I've known too many times when on forums people jump to conclusions like the person is just trying to make when in reality the person is just very young or is an older person who struggles with computers or communicating and all they want to do is just learn. And having patience with them has usually paid off. This was usually on IMVU which attracts both young and old and when I was active on the forums there it was satisfying to see people finally being able to accomplish making things after helping them patiently. If the OP is under thirteen (I didn't see where they stated an exact age, maybe I missed that) then I probably can't help them more than I have until they're older. But I'm more than willing to help when they turn thirteen.
