Question
Does paying for a plan put me higher in search?
No. Plans never affect search ranking.
No. Search ranking looks at how well a listing matches, distance, the seller's trust level, badges, rating and how recently the listing was updated. What you pay is never part of it. See How buyers find your listings.
