Why my listing is going down in spite of good sale and top seller

[ausie300]

I am selling for last 1 year on ebay. top rated, power seller, 99.8%...til last week my listing was on top in best match category and my sale was good. But from last few days my listing keep fluctuating from top to bottom or in between and and now stuck at the bottom of 1st page inspite of good selling and ebay premium service. While on the top of 1st page, the listing with 1or 2 item per day sale is shown. Even seller with less then 97% and negative feedback are over my listing. There are some other listing that have no sale for last 4 days they are on first page and far more above than my listing...I have tried by changing my title as well but no luck at all. Even my regular customers are asking about my listing as they couldn't find it at first place as it used to be. Due to all this my sale is getting worst. I'm wondering if its just me or ifsomeone else is having the same problem as I do. Can anyone tell me about it? OR if ebay is working at the background of these listings..??  Cheers

Your feedback may be acceptable but you can't afford many more negs as experienced buyers will not buy from a high volume seller with less than 99.5%.

Many sellers complain that they are not very visible in searches and it is almost certain that ebay change things around so that some sellers are more visible than others for a time so it is probably just your turn.

Many buyers search by price or by ending time, best match is only one of many options so I would think it is as much coincidence as anything else that your sales have dropped.

I am experiencing the opposite, my lights have been out for months but this last week I have been selling a lot more.
