eBay

double_identity · ‎02-20-2018

After selling on ebay for 15 years, I am no longer showing up in search results. I literally haven't sold anything in a week. This has never happened before. Knowing why this is happening doesn't make it any easier.

I've been going through chemo for the last four months and try as I might, I haven't been able to list new items very often. Listing new items is crusial if you want to remain in the good books with ebay.
Chemo has a way of zapping any energy you have and I just can't find the strength to sew and list as I should.

I searched using the key words I use in my listings and it showed absolutely nothing. I search using my user name with those key words and - nothing. It's like I don't even have a store.

So, the reason I am posting this is to say Good Bye to ebay after 15 years. It's a bit of a relief actually. Been putting up with their **bleep** for a long time.

Good luck to the other sellers. I wish you the best.

Those cross dressed items, are you sure they are not in the Adult section, where imo they should be listed.

There is always a path, though not always readily visible.

Good luck, with everything.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

No, most of the crossdress clothing is found in the men's underwear category. Most of them are underwear.

I had not trouble finding your listings in search results.

YOU don't see them in search because you have your shipping set up to exclude your own country.

With a matching bra?

Sure, some of them are bra sets modified to fit a man better. A lot of guys like women's lingerie. I sold more before the Chinese sellers bombarded the site with cheaper stuff.

When you get through with your diamond searches, just for laughs type in "jockstrap"

I was selling enough items before that the Canadian gov't said it was time I charged GST etc to my Canadian customers. There is no way for me to do that selling on .com and I couldn't see an easy way to move my listing (used to be 300 items) over to .ca.
The majority of my goods went to the US which is why I sell (sold) on .com.
Thank you for letting me know that I couldn't find my listings because I live in Canada and no longer ship there. It never crossed my mind before I read your post.

This^^^^^^^

I had no problem finding one of your listings by searching just a few of the words in the title IF I'm searching on .com.

If I search on .ca they don't show up because you have blocked Canada for some inexplicable reason (unless you are dropshipping and misrepresenting the location which shows as "Ontario, Canada").

I have no more desire to do that then look in the adult section.

Not my thing.

I think I will stay with diamonds and dolls.

You CAN charge GST/HST even if you list on .com, you need to set up the tax table on .ca, once set up the tax will be applied to any buyer located in Canada regardless of which site the item is listed on or bought from.

I hope that causes you to reconsider your decision.
