Purchased Product doesn't come up as purchased?

I was about to re-purchase another product yesterday which when I checked my home spreadsheet purchase list it gave me the order. Until then it said that  it wasn't purchased and when I put it in the  cart it added it to the cart. I was about to check out when I seemed to believe that I had already done  this. When I put in  the  order number (from just this July in my spreadsheet) it came up as already purchased.  Otherwise there was no warning that I had already purchased the item. I think this is the second time the system has done this, the first time was during or before COVID.  The first time was a $1.99 item so I just let it go after I had found that it was duplicated. But this time it was going to be a $19.99 product that I had already purchased for $2.99.

How often does this happen?  How can I protect against this?

    Was it just the one product? Is it still showing as not purchased? Which was it?

    I find that, once in a while, purchased products show as not purchased, could be a caching issue. I usually refresh the page and then it corrects itself. It's annoying and could possibly lead to double purchase. >_> I also find some products sometimes show I don't have the required item when I actually do. Same thing, refresh page and the page remembers.

    Adding to what Torquinox said, when that happens, the item you already own will have a download icon beside its "add to cart" button instead of a heart button for wishlisting.

    Happened to me as well. The reason simply was that I was not logged in and so the page didn't recognize me. After logging in it worked again.

    Always check, if you are logged in by the orange symbol up right.

  • One thing that you might enounter is if you bought a bundle and then see something else (like a smaller bundle) it might not show as bought. For example, the Michael 9 everything bundle was bought by me but the Michael 9 contemporary bundle (or whatever it was called) might not show as purchased, even though all the items were in the everything bundle.

  • 9/21/2025  Richard, Thank you for getting back to me.  Thank you also to everyone else, too. I'm sorry, I have been away I couldn't search to find the email I sent and took the time to do it line item by line item.

    This has  happend more than once, but not that often. When it first happened it was a small purchase and I did look for the purchase date and do not remeber what was recorded. I think one time it may have been a bundle, as per Ghost of Macbeth, and the item was probably refunded.

    This time it is a single item called "Riviel Hair."  (https://www.daz3d.com/rievel-hair).  It is by AprilYSH.  Is that possible  that is a DAZ item from a company I had bought from previously before the company was bought by DAZ?  I know AprilYSH has been a Daz contributer for longer than I have been a member and that is now getting to be a long time, now.

    Non-Sequitur (1) There used to be a way for me to search on my username to find all the comments I have made on forums at DAZ. Can I still do that?  Right now I have an AI search banner which I have too type underneath which obscures most of what I type and doesn't give me forum searches.

  • If you click your name to open your profile page, then click the gear icon at top-right on the same line as your name you should see a My Posts link. Have you tried clearing the cache for the Daz site?

    I bought it here in 2007, so it's been here at least that long.

    And the "Hide Items I Own" box is still there and pseudo-functioning if you're not logged in, which can make you think that you are.
