EBay hiding listings again and again. So sick and tired of it.

[freebirdtim]

Listed a pair of Jarren Duran signed baseball cards a couple of weeks ago. Got zero views in five days and the listing didn't come up at all when I searched for my item. Decided to end the listing and relist it again the next day. It's been three days now and still zero views and still not showing up when I search for that particular card.

Not sure what their issue is with me. I've been selling on eBay for over 23 years with only one negative and two neutral feedbacks during that time. Is it just a money grab? They'll actually have my listing show up if I let them extort another 12.5% from me with a "promoted' listing? Has eBay really gotten this bad? End of rant!

Your listing from December 13th is still active, I found it in search.

If you did list it again recently eBay might consider it to be a duplicate and might hide it due to that.

@freebirdtim ,

Your listing shows up in my search as the 3rd listing for that item. You are not getting any views because you are asking $109.99 for a lot of 2 when the last 3 each individually sold for $40 to $45 each in my opinion. How many impressions is your item getting? If you are getting a lot of impressions and no views it’s a tell tale sign your item is priced too high. There is no reason for a buyer to open up your item and view it when a buyer can open up a lower priced identical item if they were interested in buying it. If you are getting views and no buyers it’s an indication that your item is overpriced for the condition of your item versus other similarly priced identical items or you need to improve your pictures for your item.

 Try listing them at $39.99 each and I bet you will sell them.

The last one sold for $61.00 with shipping and that was for the one that was limited to 199. I'm selling that one and one limited to 150, so the price is not too high. Before that they have sold in the $46 to $65 range, so I don't know what sold listings you're looking at. The cheapest one currently on eBay is $64, so my price for two is below that price. I also had it previously priced at $100 for a couple of days with no views, so the price isn't the problem.

How can the December 13th listing be active when it's not active in my listings of items for sale? Good job, eBay.

List them individually and they should sell.  Most collectors don't want two copies of a card.  Re-sellers want two copies but for half the price of one.

I search Jarren Duran                                                  25,000+ results

I search Topps Jarren Duran                                    19,000+ results

I search 2022 Topps Jaren Duran                          24,000+ results

not sure where your card falls in there

Adding a third voice to choir saying that your item is visible in search (in every combination of sort search criteria I tried)

Long time seller here since year 2000, I learned long ago to just go with the flow. I would rather pay eBay more money for more sales then less money for less sales, I promote everything at minimum 6%, it sucks but it seems to work for now.

[freebirdtim]

Yes, that's probably the best way to go. I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Doubt if I'll get more views, but you never know.

[freebirdtim]

You would have to be looking for this specific card to find it. When I search for this specific card, there are only 26 results and most are not this exact card. I know there's an insane number of Jarren Duran cards on eBay, but zero views in three days with over 100 miilion eBay users? Many of my other listings have less than 10 views and they've been on for weeks.

Hi,  Here in New Jersey - We are also getting zero or very few views & watchers on items that typically show a brisk interest.  I dont' think that ebay is hiding anything though.  It is likely just a slow time for us right now for whatever reason.  Hopefully things will pick up.  Fingers are crossed.  Good Luck.  (J.B.

The way you listed it cause it to be set up to fail.

It is in the "lots" category, which is not the category your customer would be searching in. You also put "autos" instead of "auto" in the title, which may or may not show up when people search for "auto". 

It is not hidden in any way. When you search for Jarren Duran auto in the lots category it is right there. If you had this in the single cards listing then it would be on page 16 of results due to the high price.

However it is in the "lots" category instead of the single cards category, and you put "autos" in the title instead of auto.

You need to relist this as 1 card in the singles category and then list the second one after the first one sells.

I have noticed the same thing with many of my new listings, They are getting buried in the masses, I really don't appreciate doing all this work & putting in the effort, just to have this happen.

What exactly is it about your listings that should make them rise to the top? It can't be based on your prices and I have looked at your store enough to know that you are often asking for prices that would be new multiyear records for the item. 

You usually have incredible photos and good item specifics, but I don't think those are enough to overcome how high over market you always seem to aim for.
