Ebay blocking my items from getting viewed or something else ?

Is Ebay blocking my listings from getting views ?

Are they doing something Nefarious and are up to no good ?

I took 2 clips of watches for sale, one is from a new seller with only 30 feedback and one i just put up a few days ago.

Look at how many views he has and look at how pathetic and low my views are.

I have the newer version and better version of this watch. 

What gives here. What do you think they are doing?

The other seller is using a promoted listing for more prominent search placement.

You listed your watch two days ago and revised the listing nine times since then. I am surprised anyone has been able to see it at all, considering all those revisions. It can take up to twenty-four hours from the last revision for indexing to complete.

I have to agree with eburtonlab to many revisions!

Yes, eBay is blocking your listing from what many would consider "good" search result placement.
However, it's not just you.  It's everybody.  At one time or another.
OR....
No, they are not blocking you from "good" search result placement.
Instead, they are showing other sellers items. 
And at one time or another, one of the other sellers shown, will be you.

Just gotta wait your turn

Revising my photos in different orders, spell checking, and making sure there are no grammatical errors throws my listings on the moon. Well I'll be.

Look at the sellers name with the high view count of 77 vs. my 3. Do you honestly think he's in it to win it. Do you think he has any skin in this game ?

"Revising my photos in different orders, spell checking, and making sure there are no grammatical errors throws my listings on the moon."

That's why you do all these things before hitting "List It"

Something your willing to tell me ?

Remember that what you see now might not be what you see later.

Remember that you may not know or be able to determine the period of times your competitor's views occurred during. That you do not know how many of his views are external views, generated by a search engine or links from social media pages.

Instead of wasting your item trying to fine turn your listings, consider how you might drive traffic to your Ebay listings without paying Ebay any more money than you already are.

I think our only saving grace for changing this platform back to what it used to be is for Elon to buy Ebay, walk into Corporate and Chase everyone out like he did to Twitter.

[hartungcards]

Elon also chased out most of the people who were using Twitter.

Yes.

Sales and views are  erratic. They don't always make sense. They're not always steady.

It's not ebay doing something nefarious or being up to no good.

No offense, but you're not that important to ebay.

Ebay is not out to get you.

I've actually come on these boards before with this scenario...

I'll have something up for sale.

There will be 20 others for sale just like it at a lower price with lower or free shipping, yet mine continue to sell. 

Why?   I don't promote.  Do you think ebay is doing something nefarious to the other 20 sellers?

I've told you already.   You ever seen one of those bingo ball roller cages?  That's a simplistic model of eBay's search algorithm
