How Come None of My Listings Show Up in Search

[jive_talkin_turkey]

I'm located in USA. I have another ID I use to post on US eBay, and this one I use to post directly on AU eBay.

I have been selling this season for a few months now. In the beginning when I would list an item and it wouldn't show up I thought it was because I had just activated my store for the season and it would eventually sort itself out. I got a few sales here and there so I guess my items show sometimes. But my sales have been so dismal I tried to figure out what was wrong. I took a few random listings and tried to search for them and none of them show up! Some of my listings from my US ID will show. But why won't my listings on this ID show? Anybody have a clue?

I don't remember but I think this problem started last year and is a lot worse this year.

Just took a quick look and I see 99 results when I click on your listings.

Pancake I think OP is saying they are not showing searches.

OP, It can take up to 24 hours for listings to show after being listed.

My store has been open for months now so I don't think that's the issue. I picked a few random listings that I know have been up for weeks/months and try a search for them but they won't show.

Ebay have made several stuff ups in recent times with the constant changes - this severely effects sales.

They are also manipulating search and are only showing what eBay wants to show. Therefore if eBay in their wisdom don't think your items aren't worth showing buyers won't find them.

According to ECommercebytes, eBay are promoting cheap Chinese rubbish & high price items so anyone in between misses out.

Personally I find this conduct unconsionable seeing we have to pay fees over & over & over for what amounts to nothing i.e. no sales.
