Basically what the title says... it would be really helpful if there was a way to search what items people are selling, by item. Otherwise, the item market is the only other way unless you hunt around 50 peoples' profiles hoping they might have what you're looking for at a decent price. This would also allow the pricing to stabilize; many times user shops are overpriced, because it's not really known what the item is worth, exactly. I try basing it off the market, but sometimes the market is a little underpriced then, since it's expected that people will bid war. So... this would just be nice.

I will say this as many times as I need to: we absolutely need a search user shops function, or at least something that makes it easier to browse the growing list of user shops. I've noticed a huge trend in where popular players, or players who actively advertise their sales on either the Dealer's Den here on the forum or on the Discord have the highest chances of selling items.

A social/active player population is almost always a minority in the overall player base, so it sucks that being social is a key part of this game where there will always be many players who are open to socializing on a forum space, or a chat room space. At this moment, a player who sticks only to the game aspect of Pixpets has three choices in finding the items they need:

1. Hoping the item they're looking for turns up at the auction house, and winning that auction.
2. Searching through a whole mess of profiles in hopes of finding that item for sale on a user shop at a reasonable price.
3. Having to rely on another player to search the more social aspects of Pixpets, which isn't a necessarily great thing to have to rely on someone for things.

This isn't a great thing to put a player population through. There needs to be avenues where a player can find items and not have the pressure of socializing being an obstacle to their game. That's extremely unfair to others.
