Got a message from a customer who wanted to purchase something and they stated that the listing is closed. I look up the listing on my normal browser (Chrome) and it clearly shows 44 in stock and available. So I open my alternate browser (Opera) that doesn't have old eBay cached data and doesn't "know" my eBay account and lo and behold, ERROR, unable to find the listing! I return to my chrome browser and make a slight change, then save the listing. Back on Opera, the listing can now be found! I am now in the process of searching each of my listings by item number and see which ones are not showing up.

In an earlier day and time some would dare to name this "shadow banning."

Thanks for the heads up but it's really no big deal.
Despite how much some of hate the site, we will continue to use it. 😃

I don't doubt it at all. The site, and especially the app are glitched out. I've put in tickets for each of the many glitches on the app, but no fix as of now.
Ebay is intent on giving away their customers to competitors.

sure, if you consider missing a sale "no big deal". I do not hate eBay at all. In fact I was heavily promoting eBay on the Amazon forums just last year. I WAS an Amazon hater actually. That has changed, I now prefer amazon, but no hate towards my eBay. Just letting ya'll know that some sht is happening that I can't explain. 32 years in the IT bidniz, guarantee I know how to triple-check this stuff and prove it really happened.
