Price ranges for variation listings aren't showing up in search results today. Instead, a single price shows, as it would for a non-variation BIN listing.

Can someone tell me why?

The way the advertised pricing shows in search results for MV listings is totally random... and it has been for quite some time.

Basically all of my listings are MV. I've noticed they sometimes show up as low price-high price, low price only, high price only, one of the prices in the middle only. I literally jumps all over the place. One day your same listing will advertise the price differently than another day. I've given up on trying to make any sense of it.

On another note, I've also noticed that now the gallery photo changes on search results too... It used to always just show the default gallery (header) photo. Now on some listings, ebay just shows the photo I have linked to one of my variations. I.e. I have a shirt listing with a gallery photo showing 10 different colors... but in the search results the listing only shows the photo I have linked to the black shirt. So buyers will only think that listing is for a black shirt (not 10 different colors to choose from).

And now the price ranges are showing again. So strange.

Same here- random. What you see when you click on a variation listing is random, too. Sometimes it defaults to a specific variation when multiple variations are in stock- pretty annoying.

I think the issue you mentioned is a more recent thing. I've noticed this too in the last week or so. In theory MV listings is a great idea... but only if executed properly. Don't get me started with the numerous other MV issues I've had over the years and have posted/complained to eBay about.
