Well DG, at least your item showed up in the listings. I'm advertising a camera at the moment so I did a search, but couldn't find it. Next, I went directly to Cameras > Digital Cameras and looked for the only Fuji that was being auctioned, and yet again, my listing was nowhere to be seen!

Waited a few hours before sending off a scathing email to eBay asking them why that should be the case, but checked first for my listing, and lo and behold, it was back exactly where it should have been. I've now done random searches on half a dozen occasions and at different times of the day and night, and 50% of the time, my listing is nowhere to be seen.

I have no idea what eBay think they're playing at but one thing is bloody obvious, and that is that they're playing silly buggers with listings viewability and I suggest that other sellers start checking to see if their own listings are on display 24 hours per day, because my bet is that they won't be.

Are we back to rolling blackouts again, or perhaps it's something even more sinister this time. Whatever eBay are doing, they need to stop quick smart because I'm keeping logs as to when my listing appear and when they don't, and if I find any obvious funny business going on, I'll be officially complaining to the ACCC and Fair Trading for a start). They need to be put on notice that we're not going to tolerate this level of interference in our sales any longer.

I don't believe we are ever off rolling-blackouts.  I believe they are a permanent part of the ebay system now.

If you're on Facebook, head on over to the People vs PayPal page and see some of the links that have been posted regarding this very thing. It seems they DO hide listings.
