We can't look at your account, your feedback is set to "private" ...
Nobody here works at eBay, we are all just users just like you.
And 99.9% of the time, eBay sides with the buyer.
You said earlier that you told the seller that you were going to give them a negative ... how exactly did you word that??
It doesn't matter about any of the other stuff that you are talking about.

Just like when Google took out Yahoo
Google did not take down Yahoo, it is still going strong, I use it daily. I do share your concern, though, eBay traffic is down, and it is down big-time, and has been for the better part of this year now. Once in a while I'll get a day or two that it's like the heavens have opened up and it's like old times again, have a quick burst of several sales, and then BOOM, back to slow as molasses.

Simple explanation, Ebay used to have a lot more seller, those sellers were also big buyer...this kept the traffic going. But has ebay decided to turn to big business; ebay did & still do, everything possible to get rid of smaller buyer in favor of big business advertisement, such has target, Walmart, etc...
Less sellers, less buyers. Add one more problem... after shopping on ebay, most buyer after they realized walmart, Target, & other big store are on ebay; most buyer stop coming & shop directly on the web site of Target, Walmart...etc.. Sad to said; ebay though by having less & bigger sellers it would work, instead; all the small seller, stop selling & stop buying. Thnk about it; if a seller list everyday, he often shop everyday. If he sell only once a week, he shop less. If he stop selling...he stop comig to the site.

Ebay customer service and help was once very good. Whenever, I had a problem or concern they were attentive and understood and solved the problem.
Now, however, they have outsourced their customer service / help to another country. When I called about a recent problem I could barely understand them and they certainly could not understand me. It took multiple phone calls before I thought someone understood what I was talking about but they failed to solve a simple problem.

Ebay has a policy in place that enables scammers and fraudulent sellers to take advantage of buyers.
This just happened to me.
I bought a vehicle that was over 10 years old. But according to the description it was a one owner, accident/paint free in MINT condition. I talked to the seller at length and he assured me that the truck perfect. No previous paintwork in exceptional condition and that everything worked.
The seller was out of state so I did not go check it out first, which was my fault. I understand that this.
We agreed upon a price. We both use the same bank so I made a direct deposit into the seller’s account. Once he received payment I had the vehicle transported to my home. It had obviously been in an accident. A very cheap repaint was done to cover up some of the cosmetic issues. The seller even took a can of spray paint to paint the underside of the car to cover up rust and other defects. The gauges did not even work. When I contacted the seller he refused to talk to me. My emails went unanswered. When I contacted Ebay they said there was nothing they could do about it because the truck was over 10 years old. The other reason Ebay said I had to pay through Paypal. I don’t know of anyone who would pay for a vehicle through Paypal. A buyer might make a deposit through Paypal but not the whole amount.
So Ebay said the only thing I could do was to leave negative feedback, which I did.
This is where it gets interesting and how Ebay enables these scammers to get away with cheating buyers.
After I left negative feedback the seller immediately filed a Unpaid item complaint against me with Ebay. By doing this all feedback between the buyer and seller gets erased. I called Ebay and explained that the Unpaid item complaint was false. They asked me to send them proof that I had paid. I went ahead and sent ebay the proof of payment with deposit slips and account numbers. After I did that they said there was still nothing they could do about it and that was their policy. I have to say the help people at ebay had trouble understanding what had happened. They kept telling me I needed to pay for the item, which of course I already did.
So ebay scammers out there have figured out how to avoid all negative feedback warning other buyers by simply claiming that they were never paid. Ebay’s own policy makes this possible and has enabled dishonest sellers to get away with it.

You really really like this thread from 2011! me too ~ brings back lots of good memories or the way we were!
Were your items new or used? If you received a VERO complaint, the email will tell you WHY your item is being removed and will also give you information on how to reach the rights holder to plead your case for the ability to sell that item.
As for the all of the other listings selling the same thing ~ they just haven't been caught yet ~ and in closing I will wih you luck and say bye, bye!
