There are all kinds of ways for a low level mage to make it difficult to find their items for sale.For my games I essentially agree with you, since I don't allow spellcasters to make anything other than potions and scrolls until they reach 9th level, and serious items until 12th (armor, weapons, rods, staves, wands, really powerful Wondrous Items, etc...)So in my games a shop owner is very unlikely to be lower than 12th level, but still could be. Even so, invisible chests, a certain secret chest spell, and other creative uses of spells such as Nystul's Magical Aura and others, getting robbed is still possible, but it won't be a simple snatch and grab.So basically a mage has a shop for one reason. So potential customers can find them easier.As for where items are kept until sold, that is a whole different story, and challenge for any would be thief to figure out.</blockquote>
