Shadow banning items..

[simostime]

Ebay is shadow banning items to upsell its "promote it" feature..

I listed a very desirable item a few days ago and it's had ONE VIEW. 

At the same time I'm getting messages from Ebay to promote the item..

Said item is AUD$2250 and obviously Ebay want an even bigger cut of the sale than their usual pound of flesh..

Ebay are crooks ..

Well, at least it had one view.  I guess they didn't find it very desirable.

You may be better served asking your question in eBay Australia's Community https://community.ebay.com.au/

You are currently on eBay.com US community boards, we can't even see your listing since you don't ship to the US.

      They must be doing more than that. Even as an Australian buyer I don't see any items listed on this account and only a total of 7 items ever sold.

Listings can't be shadow banned if they aren't listed.

Thank you for that information.

I will take the appropriate action.

Honestly, if it was desirable, it would have more views.

I have 350 very desirable items listed.

Only 2 of them sold yesterday.

Proof positive that there is shadow banning going on.

I got a customer service "how'd we do" survey after trying to get something resolved. I was pretty upset at the time and didn't have anything good to say and reiterated my complaints since they refused to deal with the problem. Since then I haven't sold anything. This is very unusual as I normally sell a number of items every day. I'm a TRS and don't have any strikes against me and have 100% feedback *knock on wood* This is very weird considering I had a sale going on as well. I feel like since I spoke out and reported and blocked a couple of buyers I've gotten a shadow ban.

This could totally be coincidental but my sales have never been this bad.

Did you ask about this on the Australian version of eBay?
