Purchased module

I just purchased a module from the market place.  I thought I could add it to my game as an addon.  But it doesn't show up.  So I guess I have to create a new game based on the module.  So I go to create new game and look at the Optional: Choose Module.  There are thousands of listings.  Is there some way I can find the freaking module I just bought without scrolling for days?  It really should be easier to use stuff you purchase.  I am thinking I have to figure out the return process because I can't seem to use this thing.
Go to "Marketplace" and then to "Your Purchases" and all the things you've bought will show up there. You will then know what to search for or set up for your game. Let me know if I can be of more help or if this doesn't explain clearly enough.

If you use ctrl+f to search the "Start New Game"-page for the name of your purchased module, you should find it quickly. The sidebar should only have "thousands of listings" if you have purchased many modules, think it includes about 10 free modules, and the rest are those you bought. At the bottom of the list, under the "From the Marketplace" it displays 4 or so modules that can be purchased from the Marketplace. So unless you have purchased multiple modules in the past, you should have under 20 in the sidebar to scroll through, before you reach the "From The Marketplace" advertisement.
If you purchased an Addon, you do not apply that on the game creation page. The Game Addons option only shows up on the Game Launch page after the game is created.

Rabulias is correct. After you create the game, you use this for Addons...

I think OP knows the difference, based on the wording of the post.

I found it really confusing as well for the module that I bought.  You would think that the ones that you purchased would be at the top, or have folders for purchased / free / marketplace.  There are many things about Roll20 that are great, but some of these basic UI things are terrible.

I took: I just purchased a module from the market place.  I thought I could add it to my game as an addon.  But it doesn't show up.  So I guess I have to create a new game based on the module to mean they thought it was an addon and discovered that it was a module.
Yes, the OP is not very concise. Hopefully they will post exactly what item they purchased. There might be a true problem with it and not user error, but we can't confirm from the info we have.
Thanks for all the replies.  I did get it to work.  Sorry about my wording if it caused confusion.  I think the ctrl-f info from Andreas J might be useful in the future.  I will check that out next time.
Glad you got it working! :-)
