Hello all!

I was doing a search for clothing for myself but then it dawned on me, none of the items I had listed for sale were not showing up. My prices are considerably cheaper than others of the same brand, but they are not being seen. Plus, they are showing 0 views each month. I always end my items and relist them so they get a new shot at being seen but they still aren't showing up -period. Any suggestions?

Your sales look okay to me.

One thing, though. If you are ending a listing and just using relist it does not show up as a new listing to the search engine. Use sell similar to get that result.

BINs are automatically relisted but they are relisted at the bottom of the list. This is Ebay helping sellers.

You do need to end the listing and then Sell Similar to get the benefit of a new listing.

Ebay marketers probably show 2% of sellers will use Promoted LIstings to get around the relist feature earning Ebay x amount of increased revenue the VP of marketing uses to get his bonus each year.

I’m experiencing the same thing. I don’t think there’s much you can do about visibility filtering!

Thanks!

The item number is different though. Does that not make a difference?

No. It does not make a difference. Sell similar = new. Relist = old

THANK YOU! You just explained why it is good to do that 2% Promoted Listing which I do for all my listings. By promoting them even a little bit hopefully they will not vanish or disappear by the algorithm bots. I started the "sell similar" to refresh my listings but I have 2200 and it takes time to tweak each listing, the "Sell Similar" cannot have the exact same title. I don't know if the VP gets his/her bonus from the promoted listings fees. I do the minimum in any case.
