Lets see the algorithm.
Until then all speculations and claims based on what you claim eBay said.
eBay management and employees have proven time and again to be habitual liars and you are relying on what they said. I literally have dozens of outright lies in just the recent messages from them.
A so called ex eBay employee would be bound by a non-disclosure agreement. The fact that she or he violated such an agreement would strongly suggest their word can't be trusted. Then of course eBay would never leak information through a supposed ex employee. This is after all is a company who intentionally imported large numbers of items from another site eBay owned during a past boycott of eBay to inflate listing numbers on eBay to cover up the boycott and keep their stock prices up. They called it another glitch. No, one or more persons had to program that to happen.
This is a company that misuses a 1969 UPU program designed to help poor people to instead line their own pockets and that of their Chinese Communist partners, causing USPS billions in loses and forcing American citizens to subsidize eBay and its CCP partners. They have repeatedly shown they have no conscience at all.
New sellers given a boost? That is funny. New sellers are are given higher shipping rates and a lower amount of free insurance which inhibits their ability to sell items as it means their items cost more.
Thats strange, because I set up another account. 250 items were uploaded using a 3rd party software, which indicates that the software can't even be used unless your account is 90 days old and sold 10 items.
All items were completely hidden from indexing for days all the the while eBay customer service was lying and stating its normal for items to take several days to be indexed. After one item sold they cancelled 249 of 250 listings and froze the account.
They told me I'd have to wait until next month to get another 250 listings. The money was then held. I certainly was not going to send the item out to unknown buyer with a frozen account - a perfect setup for a scam. I explained to the buyer what eBay did and listed the item in my regular eBay account that is more than 20 years old. eBay would not refund the fund the buyer but stated I need to show my good faith by funding the refund from my bank account or credit card. Then eBay told me the only way the buyer can get their money back was to file a item not received claim and told me to instruct the buyer to do that, after which eBay then tried to collect fees anyway. 100% Crooked Company. This account had the same contact information and same IP used on eBay for more than 20 years.
eBay best practices include free shipping, which will produce higher priced goods over calculated shipping. Free shipping is one of eBay's largest scams, which eBay has increasingly had to turn to compensate for a lower user base and sales. Their actual user base is even lower that what is states as there are millions of duplicate accounts owned by the same person as well as millions on abandoned or infrequently used account (i.e., they but an item or two every few years).
Making claims about how to beat eBay's algorithm is commonly used by scammers on YouTube to push their clams about being a eBay expert so you visit their YouTube channel, buy through their affiliate links and buy from them directly. Yet none of them can produce the algorithm.
