eBay has annoyed not only sellers but google.Views & sales are down not only for the whole eBay google war but due to eBay search engines with the whole cassini bs.if you look at the eBay thingy about listings & searches you might find the answer in-

"...accordingly to drive a positive user experience,a listing may not appear in some search & browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the user"

In other words,if eBay bots decide that you have enough defects that it may be a bad user experience for the buyer,so your listings may be hidden.I have seen many a post saying that listings & sales are way down than usual.This is why.

I have gone from 95% sale rate to at a guess 30% in 2 months.Coincidence or interference? I don't trust eBay so i say interference.If you have a big brand store you will not face the same results.

Also sales are down as most sellers are buyers,so if they don't make enough sales $ to spend,they cannot/won't buy.This is the 1st month ever that i could not pay fees on time due to eBay blacking out my listings.
