Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Hi guys,

I want to ask you is it possible to make my current listings not visible in my country ?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Exclude your country from the list. It won't show there but they can still check your listings if they change the country.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

From which list ? I think about list with countries i ship to, but i am not sure is this work.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Why do this? Are your neighbors scammers?

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Local competitors. Is it possible to make it ?

Thanks

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Yeah exclude your country from the shipping list.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

So you think they can't see your stuff being sold elsewhere?

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

I don't think you can exclude your own country from the shipping list?

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

I think sold listings can be hidden. I am not sure. I read about this. But about the current listings i think there is no way.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

You can, i am sure about it. But there is no eBay Bulgaria and they still can see my listings.

@ Guys, i will be thankful to hear any other suggestions about my question.

Thanks in advance

I'm not seeing anywhere on the listing page that allows for excluding your own country in any way. And I doubt there is any way for you to hide your listings from your own country.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

There's no way to hide your 'sold' listings that I know of.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

You can exclude any country in the shipping list menu. But this way you can't hide your listings anyway imo.

@ dallis

May be if listings are "private listings" there is some chance.

@ Guys

Thanks for all replays. After i read them all i think there is no way to hide my current listings anyway. This is so bad for business. No privacy : )

Cheers and good luck to all of you.

Go into your listings, and hide YOUR country. Try it and get back to us. Because, I did try it, and my country is not on that list.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

I've never done private listings, but you may be correct, they may show up as 'sold' but the specifics may be hidden.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

I tryed. I can exclude my own country from shipping list.
I go to Shipping details -> Edit Shipping policy -> Create exlusion list -> you can now choose and exclude your country.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Hi guys,

I did this but my current listing are visible when i check it from Bulgarian IP.

1 My eBay>Account>Site Preferences>Selling preferences>Buyer requirements>Buyers in locations to which I don't ship (check box to block buyers). And i did also "Apply above settings to active and future listings."

2 My eBay> Account>Site Preferences>Shipping preferences>Exclude shipping locations from your listings

Any ideas how to proceed ?

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

The system isn't really designed to do this.

Why don't you list in another country and exclude your own?

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Thanks for quick response.

What do you mean in another country ? There is no eBay Bulgaria. I list on .com or .co.uk

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Now we're getting somewhere.

The box says " I don't ship to XXX place " , not " Don't show my listings to XXX place".

Note the difference. They can see it. You just don't ship there. Be warned, I have people circumvent my buyer location block, I don't know how, but they've done it.

There is NO mechanism I've ever seen preventing a listing from SHOWING in a particular place.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

OK. Thanks again. Not a good news.

If anybody knows if there is a way to hide my listings in my country, please help.

Re: Listings visibility / hide current listings
 

Well it works for me. Try checking your listing from different pc.
