Thank you for this clarification. When should we see this change going into effect?

It seems as though this change is not working as intended.
I uploaded this item over a year ago and a user wanted me to put it on sale. Dragon Rider - Roblox I thought it would be a good item to test with, but when I go to recently published it does not appear:
That said, if I search for “Dragon” it does immediately pop up:
I am thinking the splash page for recently published is either broken or I am not understanding what this change does. Not having it place the items properly means I still have to upload my items at the same time as I intend to publish them, which is detrimental to my workflow in many ways.
I published the item over a half hour ago and it has never previously been on sale.
Hey - apologies for the issues with this. We’re looking into this now. The way you described it is the intended behavior (e.g. Dragon Rider should have showed up in recently Published).
Hi Reverse_Polarity,
It has been 7 hours since you published your item and i am able to find it on the RecentlyPublished sort, albeit at a far lower position now ~ roughly 5 pages of 120 items. Pls take note that because of caching, do not expect your item to show up immediately at the top of the sort after publishing, it can take anywhere from 15mins to 30mins before it updates. If you sort by your creations it definitely shows up at the top right now.

Does it also take 15 minutes to 30 minutes to display newly uploaded items or is this simply because they’re older?
If everyone was on the delay it would be one thing but it seems like certain items pop up really late while others pop up instantly, thus some get drowned out artificially.
We have very little in the way of marketplace visibility for new items as it is, any little bit helps, which is why recently published is such a good update in theory…but if items show up really far down the list it’s a distinction without a difference I’m afraid.

Everyone is subject to the same delay. The reason why you may feel like certain items update really late while others update instantly is because search results are cached internally for a certain amount of time, and depending on your luck, you may publish just right before the cache expires so the next query will pick up your newly published item.

That doesn’t seem to be the case in my experience. Often I will publish items, keeping an eye on recently published (refreshing often) and my items will not display until after the delay. When they finally do display they are way down the list.
If all those items were subject to the same delay then either a ton if items were being uploaded at the exact same time as my items, or some items show up faster than others though why that would be the case I wouldn’t know. It’s difficult to tell because the publish date is no longer something we have access to.
Next time I upload / publish I will test this to see and record the results.
