Can eBay Prevent A Listing From Showing In Search?

drm701 · #1 10-12-2013

I've been selling with this account for about two months. My listing always ranked at number 1-3 position...always. I had a few complaints and requests for refunds even had a couple of opened cases, everything resolved and refunds made. The ad was taken down a couple of times which I think was because of competitors.

I haven't listed anything for about three weeks. Now I go to list the same item in the same way and it doesn't even show when I search for the exact title.

Can I be banned and still be allowed to create a listing (which I paid for)?

Accounts that have issues such as you described no longer rank for search positions.

You are trying to REUSE an ad / sell an item that has been taken down "couple of times"?!? Are you trying to lose the account?

How long has the listing been active?

The listing was active for about a month. I tested all categories thinking maybe it was a category block but no, it's every ad. The account has basically been turned into a buyer's account with the privilege of paying for ads that ghost.
