How people make invisible listings?

[thefinestchoiceyouhavemade]

Hello!

I see people have auctions that you can purchase but when you enter their username and try to check what they have listed there is nothing there ;/

How people make it that their auctions are buyable but when you enter their username listings it shows 0 listings?

P.S. I can buy that guy listing and it goes to checkout normally and asks for payment

@thefinestchoiceyouhavemade, the listings are "invisible" because the eBay website is having technical problems and not working properly.  You might message the seller and let him/her know so he/she can follow up with eBay to report the problem.

This listing is visible on ebay and people are buying it but this person listings are never visible in his account when you click his user name "items for sale". He has 235 comments so I do not assume it is a glitch. So how does one make that? What trick is there? Or you don't want tell me 😞

@thefinestchoiceyouhavemade, if I knew I would tell you.  I don't know what the reason is, however, other posters have given you several other plausible reasons which may be correct.  As I said earlier, you can always contact the seller and ask/let him or her know, or if you have lots of time on your hands, you can always call eBay and inquire, though most people who have tried recently said the "hold time" on the line is quite lengthy given the number of technical problems eBay's website is experiencing at the moment.  Good luck.

I used to buy a ton worldwide and my searches would show wht someone had.  Recently I look at a seller I know has a large store in the UK or Italy and it comes back with no items. I have to click worldwide to see them.  The problem with this is most buyers, especially new ones will not know how to do this, so it will appear there is nothing there.  Our international sales fell of too so that was my guess, that we were returning no items but I cant see as i have no international account to check on. 

It may be more bad coding that reverted that back to extra clicks to find what you are looking for but I would bet its manipulated searches.

So it means 90% of the possible buyers don't see my items? Cool. Great to know ...

When I click on your listings I can see them all with just the default button set? So it can't have anything to do with that.
