shadow ban on ebay?

[funworld.inc]

Hello eBay community 

Previously when selling items on eBay I have had heaps of views up to 2000 per listing and many sales on eBay. through it seems as if my latest listings have been shadowbanned by eBay as most had 0 views with one having only 2 views for weeks being actively listed on eBay. my store is  in a popular niche of vintage clothing specifically LA  imported Music t-shirts which is very strange. One theory i had was I got a counterfeit takedown action on two of my listings. this may have caused action by ebay?

I am thinking of starting a fresh new account and would love to hear your opinions and if this ever happened to anyone else on eBay 

Thanks, A lot

I recently had a violation policy on a piece of jewelry, only because I used the word faux rather than simulated...and even after taking it down rather then deal with, and was still getting violations on it even days after it was gone, but it never halted my sales at all, so not sure why yours slowed down.

It's somebody else's turn.  
Research SOLD items like yours and see if the items are still selling

There are many niche items which no longer generate any interest,

There are entire categories I have sold for years which always tank when there are economic hard times, and some never come back.

There are some niches which are being affected by a large dump of merchandise into the market. Major collections have been sold off recently and totally depressed sales for those items.

There need not be any shadow ban.

Even one ignorant competitor could destroy sales for a specific type of item by significantly underpricing and devaluing a class of item,
