My Listings Don't Show Up

[candd205]

I have 3 small pieces of art listed by Artist Margaret Singer from California. There is only 1 other piece of her art listed by someone else. When I search Margaret Singer Artist, only 1 of my pieces show up, but the piece by the other seller always shows up. That's it, just those 2 pieces by her. It's not the same one of my pieces that shows up either, sometimes it's 1 then a few days later it's a different one, but just 1. I have all 3 listed as promoted listings. Why won't all 3 of my art pieces show up when there is just no competition besides 1 other piece? It makes me wonder if this is happening with my other stuff for sale.

I see all three pieces...........

I tried with a different name, it still showed just 1. Maybe it's just me then. Thanks for checking.

All three are showing up in search plus your promoted listings.

The key words you use can affect what shows up in search.  Eliminate the word "artist" with just Margaret Singer, then search by category on the left side. 

Promoted listings will only display based on how much percentage promotion you gave to it.  The higher the percentage the more places your listings will show up including on other seller's listing pages.

I'm relieved to know. Thanks.

just for information. I searched by ............. Margaret Singer Artist

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=+Margaret+Singer+Artist&_sac...

showed 2 sponsored/1 not

I see three listings for a split second, then the page refreshes itself and shows only one.

I kept refreshing and saw that two of them were "sponsored" and those were the two that would disappear. Is there some setting that will block sponsored listings that maybe I forgot about.

[candd205]

That's what is so weird. Why just 1 showing up? I have all 3 sponsored.

[wesk_36]

I don't know why, only the "Musicians Woodcut Print by Margaret Singer" remains in the search after the quick auto-refresh. Of course, in your listings I see all three.

Do you use an ad blocker?

I use Adblock Plus, so I never see any promoted listings; however, I can see the listings for three items the OP has for sale--just not the "promoted" listings.

I looked again at search behavior and I had the default on "Best Match." (Margaret Singer Artist)

When I changed that to "Time ending soonest" or any of the other search settings, all three show.

So it is Best match that is causing me not to see all of them.

I never had confidence in ebay's search.

I see all three. Your two sponsored are the first two to appear.

This computer came with an ad blocker. Do you think that would affect this?

yes, it's probably the ad blocker..........you should be able to disable it in the browser........and then you can add it back if you want..........  what browser are you using?

I have always hated 'worst' Match...I switch to price lowest/ending soonest immediately.
