Hi, I have sold on Ebay for almost 20 years and am a Top Rated Seller. I have found in the past year that visits to my items are virtually zero. I believe I provide a very descriptive title utilizing key words. I even attended a class at an Ebay University several years ago in Boston as to how to write the perfect title. So my question is....what the .......... has happened? I spend time creating each listing with detailed title, great photos and easy to read description with all particulars. I have read about the same issue for others with replies about bots, glitches, algorithms etc. Why did they change a working system. I've looked in to other online auction sites. Is there really a glitch and is Ebay going to fix this? Help!

Same with me. I’ve been listing items for weeks and maybe 2 views on one item. I’m done with eBay. They are taking a ton of money on sales too. Bye eBay.

Yeah somethin' ain't right. I have Lego, Funko and Star Wars items that are sitting at zero views. Sure you can argue I'm not moving them because of pricing, but nobody is looking for those particular keywords?

Hi @dpotesta44
Your post is at the tail end of an old thread where the solution has been marked. This might get folks to pass this thread by. You might consider starting your own thread where your post is at the top so other posters can see and respond.
Don’t have a lot of time this morning, but i randomly selected one of your listings, entitled “1983 Topps Return of the Jedi Series 1 Red card #77 The Skywalker Factor”. There are several listed but the only sold one i found was on Worthpoint dated 2013.
It could very well be that there is no demand for it, as opposed to something fishy going on.
One suggestion: i would add the keywords “Star Wars” to your title and description. While it is included in your listing Item Specifics, it is absent from the title and description field. This could impair some buyers from finding the listing.
Wish you all the best and hope your views/sales pick up soon.
