There have been multiple threads on the seeming broken Search function --- and little acknowledgement by eBay that there is an issue.
Today I was working on listings which still have http problems. As always, I ran a search to check on competitors and our place in the queue. What I found was interesting - in a bad way. alan@ebay or any other blue, is there a reasonable non-tinfoil explanation for this? Limiting visibility is one thing if a seller refuses to jump through all the hoops. Utterly refusing to show listings is a whole different kettle of fish. There is a problem here, eBay.
Exact same general (with noted exception on the second photo) search parameters. No preferences set, as you can see. FIVE results are reported, but only one shows. This is not our listing. (As I was typing this, two more results were returned but only as numbers, not actually anything which can be viewed.)
Only filter added was "free shipping" - which returned an entirely different listing than above with the same search parameters. I did not change the search term - it changed itself (removed 'Total Source') when I clicked "free shipping". Again, our listing doesn't show even though we offer free listing.
