Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

I've been tracking our store count for the past several days... but the reported # of listings in our store... is continually about 30 items less than eBay indicates for our "Active Listings."   As it's apparent that there is no "technical help" option in speaking with customer support... I figured that I'd try here.

 

I've been watching the number of listings in our eBay store jump back and forth... to the correct number (matching Active Listings) and then later reporting a lower number... where it stays for days at a time.

 

Can't tell is there are items not showing up on eBay servers... or if there is another remedy the can get us back to numbers that correctly match our true inventory.  I've refreshed all of our listings... and held off more than 24 hours before listing more new items... to no avail.  Only "Active Listings" has an accurate number... while our eBay Store reflects incorrect listing totals.

I’m having the same issue. My store and View sellers other items is showing 3596 items while active listing page is showing the actual count  of 3464. 


Hey @ebooksdiva! I just checked and there is an open ticket to have this resolved and we will have the Tech Board updated here shortly. If yourself or others are running into this issue please reach out to customer support to have your account added to ALERT15129.

Re: Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

don't suppose anyone reported the open ticket number for thier account and have seen anything fixed yet? 

I called, had my account added to the ticket (supposedly) - nothing as of yet for a fixing on my store.

Re: Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

Same issue for weeks.  Discrepancy in the number of active listings and listings showing in my store.  When I go to list something new.....half the time it'll show and the other half of the time it won't.  The listings that don't show up in the search have 0 views and it's not getting fixed.  Not sure how I can sell things when I'm not sure they'll show up after putting in all that work.

Re: Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

Listings are not showing up in my store. I have received no notice of selling restrictions or violations, however, I currently have 11,441 items listed in my active listings, however, in my ebay store, only 3,380 listings are shown and counted. This has been occurring for approximately 3 weeks. Can you please have this corrected?

eBay Staff recommends contacting customer support to be added to the list for ALERT15129. When more people report, the problem rises higher in the fixit queue.  See the details that should be provided on this page:

Re: Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

Incorrect listing count was reported to eBay in mid-December.  While there was a brief and partial improvement when I ended old listings and selected "sell similar"... but overall, the problem has never gone away.  Over the past week... the gap between listings in my eBay Store... and "active listings"... is growing again.

January 2024----adding this as it remains an issue.  3 different COUNTS on the EBAY site.

 

Items in store, seller hub, and download reports do not match as of time stamp on Report----

 

I will try to chat or phone later and get in line.

 

It is very difficult to reconcile my inventory--- compared to WHAT I think is Live---

 

If this were me making these mistakes, I would have defects and no exposure.  I am beginning to wonder if the 1 defect I have was created due to data not being accurate---

@southcarolinajane  

Do you use the out-of-stock control? That is often where the discrepancy appears between seller hub Active items and the displayed number of items in search or store page.

I don't know what causes the difference between your active listings download and your seller hub.

Sort your seller hub and your spreadsheet on quantity to see how many have zero quantity. 

Do you have variations? The number of variation attributes used to inflate the search page results for several years, but that seems to have been resolved recently. Those variations may still show in your download report as separate line items.

Re: Count of Listings in Store not matching count for Active Listings?

Hi there---

 

YES, I use the OOS control, however I only keep under 20 items typically there depending on my supply.

 

As you can see, I am off by hundreds---

 

Thank you for pointing out the OOS control,

Jane

Variations may be the ISSUE--- on the Active download report----

 

So, I could decide that report would have to be viewed differently.   I just went in and gave that another look.

 

Now, My items in store vs. Seller Hub should be closer. 

 

I will pull the download report out of the mix.

 

My call to support will be seller hub listings vs. store listings.

 

Thank you again for your input. 

 

Jane
