It used to be- in the olden days, like 2 years ago, that a google search resulted in tons, tons of ebay items coming up. Now, if ebay items come up they are way down on the list following Mercari, Etsy, Amazon, Joe Blows General Store and the like.
I have searched this board to see if this question has been addressed and find it has numerous times, and numerous time the OP is quickly shot back with answers that whatever item it is they are asking about just isn't something people are interested in buying. (this is pretty much the standard answer- for each individual asking the question, and answered by several people, who have ebay accounts, but surprisingly none of them have anything listed. Hmmmm.
So, please, if anyone (other than the former sellers that are now ebay employees) has any information pertaining to this issue, please share it. I currently have an item listed (wont even say which one, because then someone will say that its not a popular item) that didnt come up in google, despite my item being the only one to match the description for what i searched. So, I changed the name of my listing, making it very specific, and did a search on that. Although a picture of my item came up, when I clicked the link it brought me to ebay (a surprise in itself), but to someone elses listing (an item similar to mine, but different). I
I sincerely do not understand what is happening. Can anyone explain this to me?
Although ebay did come up (thankfully!!) when I did my specific search, my item did not, and, in general lately ebay bottoms the listings on searches. Please explain.
