Re: Listings are ghosted...
Throttling is intentionally slowing sales by not showing their listings as often or at all.
Rolling blackout is when server overload shuts down listings from a particular region or geographical area in favor of another region, for example when all your sales come from California for 24 hours.
I'm not clear that throttling doesn't apply to new accounts and my suspicion is that is applies mostly to categories where the available product is over saturated.
If you were EB and there were only two listings for a particular widget, which would you show buyers, a $60 item that sells 60% of the time, or a $60 item that has no history at all?
