My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

Hi all, 

 

Tried to search the forum for a day and nothing concrete could help. I post my questions here, hopefully can get more helps. 

 

My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or via seller other items since 21st of May. I was first reported by a few regular customers and it appears the Asia-Pacific regions are affected, including Japan, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Denmark or even more, as I couldn't test them all. 

 

It's strange that US site is working seamlessly, and some N.A. countries and West Europe are not affected. Although I have a Canadian customer reported the issue, but he said it appears again after he visited via his purchasing history. 

 

If I use IP from these countries, it shows zero listings in my store  /seller's other items. however, I did figure if I selected the completed items, it shows items ended up to May 21st, and no more listings ended in these countries after, whereas with US IP, it shows all active listings and completed listings that ended today. 

 

There's only one major change to my account that I changed to eBay managed payment on 25th of May, nothing else changed.  And out of surprise, if you add .com.hk, with my store name, all items appeared. 

 

My account is registered in HK, and I'm listing mainly on .com. I have currently no shipping restrictions or buyer restrictions. 

 

I called eBay customer support dozen times, and looks like they can do nothing. 

 

All my regular customers are messaging me when I can open up the store to them, it's really troubling. Any help or input will be helpful, thanks thanks very much!

 

John

I see 971 current listings for you.

Sorry to ask, because it's really IP related, I figured.

I think I may need to add Norway, Greece, Greenland, Indonesia, Israel, Ireland, South Korea too

 

This is so annoying, because Malaysia is OK, but Indonesia isn't, Australia seems can load now, but New Zealand isn't.

Others have encountered the same problem, at least regarding Japan.

 

See the end of this thread here for an example:

Re: My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

could it be connected to which countries are now using MP?  i.e. country X doesn't yet accept MP, so if a seller is in MP.....items won't show up? 

 

I don't know of a place to check where MP is acceptable..

Thanks eburtonlab,  I read through the post and I agree with what reallyhardtofind found, actually it's exactly what the issue is. 

I think it's location based and something to do with the shipping method. I'm testing to specify a shipping method to Japan only and will test it out. But it's just so strange that thing happened over night while it works well before.

In theory, it should not matter at all to the buyer (or to the search algorithm) how the seller is ultimately paid, as long as a valid shipping method is specified.

 

In practice... who knows? The timing certainly appears suspicious, but I do not think this is the intended behavior.

 

Buyers in any location can still buy and pay, I believe, provided they can actually find the items. If you open such a listing while using Japan as the location to calculate shipping, there is a shipping method and a shipping quote, and I believe the transaction can actually be completed, though I am not able to verify this first hand. It is just that those items do not appear in search results when searching using Japan (or some specific other Asian or Eastern European countries) to calculate shipping, but those items do appear when using the US (and most other countries) to calculate shipping.

 

brittanie@ebay  Any idea if this problem is a side-effect of Managed Payments?

Re: My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

I was curious about on that too, but don't know how to figure it out😩

 

But more likely, it's still shipping/location related. 

 

I tried to update my listing quantity and price via file exchange on May 28th, a couple days after I discovered the issue, in the first run, i got this error message:

 

Error code 240:  "Your item Location indicates that your item is in the United States, but you've chosen a shipping service that ships from outside the US. In order for your listing to be clear, please go back and edit the item location or the shipping service to make sure that they are accurate. For more information, see our {URL0}.|LP_ItemLocationMisrep_ShippingMisMatch"

 

My item location is clearly indicate not in US, so i figured it's the shipping method, ( We have to use SpeedPAK from China service),  so I changed shipping method to standard shipping and upload again, got another error: 

 

error code 240: You must revise your item location to reflect Greater China in order to list.

 

If I revise the shipping back to SpeedPAK, it shows the 1st error message again. It's like a loop no exit. 

 

Here is the screenshot

I never tried upload with file exchange before so don't know if this was the case or just became loop error. But I think inside the system coding, it's something to do with dual site/location/seller country of registration issue. PS: I can edit all items successfully on seller hub.

sorry, the last picture isn't very clear and not easy to read, here I upload a shorter version again.

I also tried to setup a separate shipping method for these countries, but it doesn't work until now. It's so strange as these countries all pops out at once and were used to work well.

Re: My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

update: after more research, I guess it has something to do with managed payment:

 

Managed payments sellers

If you offer international shipping to countries that support managed payments, your listing will be displayed to buyers on the local eBay sites. However, your listings on international eBay sites not currently supported for managed payments will be ended and applicable fees credited automatically.

You can also list items directly on some eBay sites outside of your registered location.

We will continue to expand the number of countries where managed payment sellers can offer international shipping or list directly on international sites.

Re: My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

Hi!

I was just wondering if this issue has been solved? I think we have the same problem and I am from Japan. After registering for the new eBay manage payment, my store doesn’t show my items for sale in some countries even when I try searching it myself. It has been a month already and the eBay support isn’t doing anything to solve the issue. My sales is greatly affected because of this. I would appreciate to hear from you.

Re: My listings are not showing up on my eBay store or seller other items.

Unfortunately, it's not solved. Sales has been greatly affected here too. 

 

But one good news is that customers from Canada and Australia who could not find my store are back gradually. 

 

Another tip for you: I found we can list on each country site instead of list them all on ebay.com, for example, you can visit ebay.com.au, then list from there. It's free to list on ebay.com.au and ebay.ca if you have a store subscription at ebay.com, other country sites has separate listing fee though, but depends on how big that country sales is to your revenue, you can choose to list some of your products and test first. With this method, I think I have some of my regulars customers gradually came back last month, it helps me to recover back a bit. 

 

Hope it helps.
