MASSIVE issue: Old listings that sat at 0 quantity for a long time remain hidden even when restocked

This needs to priority #1 for eBay.  

 

Like many sellers, I have several listings that sit at 0 quantity (out of stock) at any given moment until such time that they can be restocked. Imagine my horror when I try searching for those restocked listings, using their full copy-pasted title, only to find that they can't even be seen.

 

Ending the listings and relisting them fixes the issue, but I don't have the time or energy to cross-examine all 3000+ of my listings. Additionally, ending the listing wipes out the listing's watchers and sold history, which no seller wants. No sane seller would think that their listings are hidden anyway. 

 

This issue has been going on for at least a week, probably longer. I imagine there are tens of millions of dollars if not hundreds of millions of dollars in item value that eBay is keeping hidden for no good reason at all. Hidden listings mean no sales means no revenue.

The problem now appears to be fixed. I'm not happy about losing all the sold history and watchers for the listings I was forced to end. I have to wonder if they ever would have even known about the problem without my post, which speaks volumes about their ability.
