I'm a small volume seller with lots of inventory. What are my changes that my items will be seen in the search. With the limited search and all the promoted listings from big box sellers, how does someone like me stand a chance for survival here?

Forgive for my sarcasm...

What are the chances, hmm...

I am a small seller like you on a different account and I will be packing my bags most likely...

Probably not very high, I wouldn't count on it...

Your chances are good as long as you are using good titles, which you seem to be. I looked at your listings, and the first I saw were Island Escape Shorts. So I did a search for "Island Escape Board Shorts" and yours were #2 and #3 in my search. You also have several watchers on multiple items, so you're obviously being seen. That being said, you are not the lowest price of the 266 listing that popped up. Most people are going to purchase the lower priced item if they are identical. So it's not so much about being seen, but having your pricing in line with your competitors.

I have so much inventory, this situation will leave me in a hole. If no one will see my product, why would I work so hard to make it work here. Last years update was our warning.

Which is going to be a race to the bottom. I've always tried not to compete price wise, because my listings are accurate and my FB speaks for it's self. We all buy things from different wholesalers, I can't afford to lower my pricing to what the bigger sellers are offering. You see I've sold lots of those shorts already.

Would you please do me a favor, because I can't get a response from ebay. I have multi variation listings, and when I search they all show up as different listing. It is so confusing, no one will ever buy anything from me.

Thank you your help.
