eBay Search

[ten_o_nine]

When can we expect a fix? I don't have to google to find it, just makes it impossible to be Competitive if you don't have real time true results? Hiding most of listings on the site just to show promo items, makes it hard to price your items as a buyer and a seller, I now rely on other sites to price my items on eBay, just fix it! and don't confuse and distract buyers with your silly ads.

And yet if you did a ebay search for "dukes of hazard puffy stickers" nothing would come up?

I'll take your word for it.

In the past people who have said this has happened to them, it turns out the ebay listing was currently OOS or the listed had ended.

THAT'S what it wasn't showing on a ebay search.

FYI When I do a "dukes of hazard puffy stickers" search on ebay 2 listings come up.

One of them is yours.

Why would I do a google search for something i'm searching for on ebay?

Doing a ebay search for "steelers matchbook",

I come back with 124 results.

The 23rd of which is YOUR listing for a lot of 6.

I got the same results. OP's is right there on the very first page.

... we must be doing something wrong.    😉

You have to understand that eBay is not a search engine.

Understood.

The only time I do a search on ebay is when I'm looking for something on ebay.

Again, silly me.

Looking at the search results, I see 124 listed but only 5 sold (and two of those aren't even the same matchbook that OP has listed) in the past 90 days, which tells me that the reason it's not getting views has nothing to do with search and everything to do with the fact that this is an item that has very little demand based on that sell-through rate.

What help did you provide here? other than discredit me and my findings?

[buyselljack2016]

I try to do that too, but sometimes find someone selling the same item for $25 that I had been selling at $46.

For someone that searches google, then the link shows them the 4 items, buyers will think there are 4 on ebay and may go somewhere else, eBay needs to show items that match the keywords, and not select 4 out of 140.

@ten_o_nine 

I agree........ and you should probably @the blues......

What either Google or Ebay is doing with .....don't know which

is adding the word "schedules" and therefore only picking up the 4 matchbooks under the scheduled category, instead of "getting" the advertisement category......

It's not a matter of hiding listings, rather a screwup on which category should be shown, to me (and, obviously to you) the more populated category would deliver a better experience to a buyer. 

Oddly enough, the item below that is in the advertisement listing.....

I might note that your item does appear on Google in one of the lines below:

"I price my items at their true value"

That is a misnomer. The true value of an item is the cross between what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to sell it for.  Another way of saying it (Roy Cox on "How to price & sell old picture postcards") When the item I am selling is worth less to me than the money in the buyers pocket, while at the same time, the item I am selling is worth more to the buyer than the money in his pocket.  That is the true market value.

Absolutely Correct.  Current market value is a large part of what we can sell certain things for.

Thank you, that's only because I changed the category to Schedules, and not in the collectable category.
