Getting out of the Search Engine "sandbox" does take work. If you are an E-commerce site the"sandbox" can be a little frustrating as bills from running a business come up. The "sandbox" does exist and there will always be some kind of delay (especially if you are doing all the SEO work yourself) but that doesn't mean you have to only focus on one search engine. There are a number of search engines out there that are much easier to index in and get good results. You can get 50 of your traffic from other search engines so while your site ages and become "worthy" to join the rest of the index.
Here are a couple of ways to help shorten your "sandbox" time.
1. build links from authoritative site. - Sites that are considered important
2. Try a social approach, authoritative blogs and forums can help.
Inclusion into directories like dmoz.org and yahoo are a good place to start. Both directories have good and bad reputations out there, but this is a good place to start. I don't think the sandbox is a bad thing, it is effective and it helps to weed out your competitors that really are not committed.
So I guess you have to ask yourself, are you committed?
