It came up OK for me if these are the ones you're looking for, I'm using Chrome by the way.

I would hazard a guess, given tomorrow is Good Friday, that eBay are running maintenance today.

These listing have been like this for years, at least 2yrs.very frustrating as they would be lovely to buy.

I'm guessing that it's a seller who also sold stamps, and has been unregistered for quite a while.

We've also noticed that their listings still show in searches, even though they no longer exist as a seller on eBay.

There's no sold listings, so it looks like they've been ticking over every month.

Very strange indeed.

Looks like WWOS might be right.

Their % is zero

No longer a registered user  and store does not exist, for whatever reason.  Appears no activity for over 12 months.

How weird - do you know if they used a third-party listing site? eg Did they have fancy listing templates or widgets that showcased their items within listing descriptions? If they did, some of the information may still being communicated to eBay, perpetuating the appearance of the listings even though the items are no longer available to purchase. It might even be other software uploading things and creating phantom listings (i.e real "digital ghosts" lol).

Ummmm, there is only ONE Digital Ghost, and that is you. Those others would be impersonators.......at best. Or wannabes. 😄 😄 😄
