Hello, I cannot see the links to many of my works that are for sale on Adobe Stock, but I can still sell them. Unless there is a contrary situation, it appears in searches, but I can say that it usually does not appear at all. Does not being able to see my work links prevent my sales from reaching the buyer audience? Will the images I have worked on appear even if the buyer searches with the correct title in all countries? I think this problem is probably related to the country I live in. (TR) I think this situation affects my sales. I request your support regarding this issue.
How exactly will I be able to change the region? When I do this, will my assets appear in all countries or is this problem only related to Turkey?

You can't change your region your living in, obviously for tax reasons. But the issue is the same for all of us. Restricted regions see only a partially amount of assets, as they need additional vetting. As this vetting is costly, Adobe does apply it only to a restricted number of successful assets.
But to calm your nerves, this does hurt
...It is ridiculous to encounter such a situation in these very annoying days.
It's what it is, but it's the same for us all. I can sell a total of three of my assets in your region. My second best seller can't be bought in Turkey.
I was planning to produce and sell the content, there were 4 sales in total. If I reach more audiences, I will make much more sales. I keep refreshing the page and my assets are not visible at all.

No, you submit, and your assets will generate sales. If they don't generate sales, that means that nobody wants to buy them. Turkish buyers can't buy, but American and European (except Turkey) buyers can buy. Some Asian and African countries may also be restricted, but major countries are not.
There are only some countries that are restricted and as Adobe has only two zones, I suppose that the restriction criteria appl

Turkey and some other countries require that images undergo further reviews before they are made availble in those regions. Assets that have initially been appreoved are available in other regions. You can check by changing your region and then search for your images or look at your public portfolio.

But to calm your nerves, this does hurt my sales the same as it hurts yours, as my assets aren't visible neither in your region. Only my most successful assets got cleared.
Anyhow, the majority of potential customers are not sitting in restricted countries, so, with the one exception of creating highly localized assets, yo will not see a disadvantage.
If you want to see what your portfolio looks for "the rest of the worls", exchange the country code (tr) with a different one, like "ca" for Canada. You can do so in the URL.

Hello, when I use CA in the URL section, my page and assets appear in the search tab. What I want to understand is, will my global assets be visible in every country except Türkiye?

There are several restricted countries, and those will not show your assets. The majority of the regions will show your assets. There is no public list of restricted countries, so we don't know them all. But Turkey is part of those. What you don't see can't be bought in your region, even if you, as a buyer, change the region to something else, to cirumvent the restrictions.

So produce more items. The majority of the buyers are not located in the restricted countries. Your assets sell, even when you are in a restricted country. It's restricted for buyers, not sellers.

The issue seems to be more about the legal environment in those countries, rather than any policy decision on behalf of Adobe.

Do I need to create a certain design template for the new assets I will create to appear, or will they not appear at all?

Reread the above info from @Abambo There really is nothing you can do to make the images appear on your page in your country.

There are only some countries that are restricted and as Adobe has only two zones, I suppose that the restriction criteria applied are for the most stringent country. And you (and we all) can't do anything about that. It's surly the price Adobe has to pay for doing business in those countries.

Thank you very much for your support. One of my assets has now been sold. New contents. I will continue to produce and upload.

That's good. With enough sales, the content will be unlocked for your region too.
