Only 1 out of 3 trading cards I list appear in the search...even after days.

I sell TCG and CCG's or trading/collectible card games but I've recently noticed that my sales have been dropping and the amount of views/watchers have plummeted. I list most of my cards in batches of 3 and 4. 

For example: Yugioh playsets consists of 3 cards. I will often list 3 identical named cards but they will have different photos on 3 separate listings. Everything else in the listing remains the same. When I search for these cards (sometimes as long as 14+ days after initial listing) it will only show up 1 of the 3 cards. 

I never had this issue until lately and it's frustrating for sales as these cards have different photos that show different grades and such. 

Has anyone else had a problem?

You want to make them have different names so ebay doesn't hide them as duplicate listings. I normally just put #1, #2. #3 and so on at the end of the title.

Is it really just a duplicate name? 

I guess I could add the inventory # to each of the titles. I will test and mark as resolved if this is the case. 
Thank you

I believe I've purchased from you before actually haha, solid seller! Checking out your store it would appear the multiple listings are showing up, but I'm also noticing when I go from one page to another when viewing all store items the total number of items available keeps shifting:
e.g. if I'm on page 1:

and go to page 2, or 3, etc:

and so on:

I know this has been an ongoing issue with people's stores in the past, so it might be prudent to open a ticket or what have you. I'm unsure if it would have anything related to do with the issue of the titles, but just so you know it is happening, at least!

If Ebay saw them as duplicate listings, Ebay would close them and notify the seller of the policy breach.

Thanks for being a customer! The items in the store isn't the problem. It's the search results. So say you look up a specific card that I have 3 copies of and selling them on 3 different listings, it will only show the cheapest.

However, it does appear that all 3 will show up under newly listed. 

I tested the theory of adding a number at the end of the title and even ended listings and relisted them. 
Still seems the same problem is occurring. To the people who delve in the TCG/CCG world condition matters a lot which is why I do 3 at a time and I list them on different listings, along with 13 photos of each card. 

Very frustrating when you see sales dip as I've got a ton of cards to sell but search results are only showing one listing at a time. I really don't want to sell on TCGplayer as I believe the atmosphere on eBay is much better, especially when you can view many photos of the card. Over there it's more of a "just take my word for it."

Yeah I figured as much that the two weren't connected, just kind of thinking out loud that perhaps the listings couldn't be seen due to them just disappearing due to the pagination bug, but it does not appear to be so.
It also seems that it is happening again, like you said, I'm only seeing single listings for some items right now.
Just spitballing here, but would it be viable for you to add conditions to your titles? May stop eBay from thinking they're duplicates, in addition to making it easy for buyers to know quickly what the condition is.

Also just non-store search page it says you have 579 items listed when sorting is done by "Best Match", but it jumps up to 604 when sorted by any other option
