My own items for sale don't appear in searches

[minnesotatokenman]

Two days ago I relisted 142 items, mostly tokens, and when I search for these tokens, they don't appear in any search results. If I can't find them, I assume no one else can either. What is the point of selling on Ebay if my items can't be found when people are searching?

It'd be good to know what search terms you used, and if you used any filtering on the search. You have 138 items showing as active, not 142, but most at least are tokens, so I expect they're fine.

I agree with the other post: It would be useful to know which search terms didn't work for you. I, too, see 138 listings, and when I search for Guernsey County Pictorial Sesquicentennial Token,  your listing comes up.

They might not show up for you, but they might for other members.

I see all 142 listings. I'm not buying... but I see them. Good luck.

Hi, @minnesotatokenman , not necessarily.

What you see in your Search results may vary widely from what another user sees. Search results are not static, but can be influenced by each person’s activity on eBay. In addition, eBay may tailor results to show you listings that are different from what others may receive. eBay takes multiple factors into consideration in this process. From their Help pages:

”When you search for an item on eBay, the listings in your search results are ranked by our Best Match algorithm. The algorithm is designed to show you the listings that most closely match what you're looking for…

…Listings are ranked based on a variety of factors, including:

• how closely the listing matches your search terms
• how popular the item is
• the price of the item
• your browsing history
• the item's location”

Usually if I search mn token, minn token, or minnesota token with Time: Newly listed rather than Best Match as the option, everything listed will appear from my home state along with what others have listed. This is no longer the case for me.

I see 138 active listings The pictures look like there is a screen overlay or fog filter.  People especially want to see and nicks and dings in metal products.   Did you try editing with eBay's software at all?  The pictures you took before Aug 26th look fine.
