      Is it possible to request a courtesy review of expired transaction defects?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      Hello everyone, I am looking for guidance from experienced sellers and any eBay moderators who may be able to provide advice. I currently have several historical transaction defects on my account, primarily: • Out-of-stock cancellations • One case closed without seller resolution These defects occurred between July and December 2025 and are now outside the standard appeal window. Since then, I have significantly improved my inventory management and fulfillment processes and have had no similar issues. I understand that the defects were valid at the time and I am not disputing that they occurred. However, I am wondering whether eBay ever grants courtesy reviews or exceptions for older defects when a seller has demonstrated improved performance and compliance. Has anyone successfully had historical defects reviewed or removed after the appeal period expired? If so: • Which department did you contact? • What information did you provide? • Was Seller Performance able to assist? I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. My goal is to ensure my account reflects my current performance as a seller. Thank you.

      How can I improve my Pokemon listing to show higher?
                               

      I sell themed collection sets of certain characters. For example, if you're looking for Pikachu, I would provide 8 unique cards of the Pokemon for your binder. I started doing this because I have tons of bulk, and noticed that other sellers here on ebay do the same. I noticed that their listings always show when you search up just the character's name, without including any set name or card numbers. I understand I am a new-ish seller, and that it is a waiting game sometimes. I have all of my listings promoted, and I do list weekly, in waves of 10-20 listings at a time. I used information from the two sellers that I am basing myself off to improve my listings, but am not seeing the same success. Oh, I am also listing under the Mixed Card Lots category, if that helps Any help would be appreciated, TIA!

      Promoted Listings Not Showing – Competitor Dominating Top Results Without Promotion
                                                       

      I'm seeing an issue with how my promoted listings are displaying in search results, and I'm hoping someone here can clarify what’s happening. When I search in Chrome's Incognito  mode using the exact Brand and Model number of one of my items, my listing does not appear near the top , even though it’s an exact keyword match. Instead, I see four listings from another seller that don’t accurately match the search term , but they're showing in the top spots. Here’s what’s confusing: My listing is actively enrolled in Promoted Listings (up to 7% ad rate) , yet it doesn't appear as "Sponsored" or near the top. The competing listings do appear in the top 4 , but eBay Research shows they are not Promoted. Can anyone explain: How non-promoted, lower-relevance listings are appearing above mine (as Sponsored)? Why my promoted listing doesn’t show as Sponsored or rank higher in Best Match? If there’s something wrong with how my campaign is set up or how my item is indexed, I’d appreciate help fixing it. I want to ensure my listings are being seen fairly in search (my listing has more photos, details, matches, and I have better feedback than this competitor). Thanks for your support, fellow sellers! SIDE NOTE: If I was a buyer , I'd think eBay didn't have the model I want since it doesn't show unless I scroll to the 5th result. This is not good for the marketplace shopping.
