Been wondering this for a while, and if anyone else has noticed--whether on the app or desktop, when searching for items that are newly listed you won't always see everything that has been posted.
There seems to be three 'queues' of listings: one with half of the new items, one with the other half, and the last with all the items. Which one you get seems to be random, and you can refresh for minutes on end without seeing the other versions, though it usually only takes a few refreshes.
Why does this happen? Is it due to cache/cookies, or something on the ebay side? You can refresh multiple times within a few minute period and see the same items, then refresh once more to suddenly see multiple items appear that were posted well before during the time you were previously refreshing.
It can be frustrating when those obscured items are ones you were particularly looking for, and they're often gone by the time you get to see them.
