Explains sponsored placement, higher-rated sorting and how perks activate after payment.
Problem this fixesUse this when sponsored items are not appearing near the top or a perk did not activate.
Step-by-step fix
- Buy sponsorship from the Pricing/Sponsorship area and choose the correct listing.
- Complete payment through checkout.
- After payment, the listing should receive sponsored metadata, expiry date and ranking weight.
- Marketplace sorting should prioritise sponsored listings, higher orders, ratings, views and reviews.
- Sponsored badges should appear only while sponsorship is active.
- If a sponsorship expires or is refunded, placement should drop back to normal ranking.
