Where have all the items gone?

Ebay strikes again with their crackpot ideas!



95 % of listings in the cars/bikes/boats categories have vanished due, presumably, to the latest set of category changes.



If I can't see the listings, I can't buy, and the sellers are being charged for a service they aren't getting(i.e. customers seeing their products)



Will ebay refund these sellers for loss of traffic due to these ridiculous changes?



Like the previous decision to remove won items from the summary page, this needs to be changed back.

Re: Where have all the items gone?

I listed a Buy It Now item yesterday morning, it cannot be seen in searches.


 


I believe it is all Ebays plot to pee off sellers, destroy our businesses by reducing our sales by stealth (no visibility)  so we simply go away.  They do not want us small timers, they have made it very clear in messages last few months.

Re: Where have all the items gone?

Thanks for the idea suitcase-of-memories.



I just talked to ebay about my complaint of 4 days ago about my listing missing from the classical LP genre, especially as they didn't fix it, but this morning sent me a survey on how they did......



Let's not go into detail how that survey will be filled in.



However I put the comment to the phone assistant along suitcases lines of suggestion, that I had paid a listing fee including their own item specifics and the advert in effect is hidden in amongst "General unclassified adverts"  Like selling a Holden car in cars in the paper, and having it appear in General items for sale and not under 'H' in "Cars"


I highlighted that after I hear from the original lady I notified on Wednesday (It's Sunday today, she ain't there)  I will be seeking a listing fee refund on my incorrectly placed advert.



I would suggest other sellers take similar action.



Interestingly his ears pricked up when I said even eBay is missing out on a heap of FVF on this one and some programmers butt needed kicking.

In australia......the dept of fair trading is the governmental body who swings the big stick if you pay for a service but do not receive that service or the service was not of merchandisable quality.

Re: Where have all the items gone?

Ok so it's just a category change fine for those who use all the time and know what they're doing but how do I now search for caravans? Before I just clicked on it because everyone lists them under slightly different names now I can't find any?? Probably right in front of me but it's late and I'm **bleep**ty about the stupid change!

Re: Where have all the items gone?

This was September last year.

 

14 MONTHS ago.

 

I very much doubt your issue is due to that problem.

Re: Where have all the items gone?

You've dragged up a thread that was last posted on 7 YEARS AGO for a problem, not with eBay, but with your computer !!!!

 

Oh, welcome to the boards, but please start your own thread not drag up old ones please.
