ALWAYS 1st place "best match" .....always...
 

Just how does that happen to me? I feel spoiled.

6+ year old stealth and no matter what I post..I am the #1 first result. If I don't get the frist, It's the first 5. (competition can be rough, sometimes:snicker:)

Too bad one of these days it's time to say goodbye.

anyone?

It's probably because you're looking from your own account. Search results look different for different users.

Phaz0rz is right, customers get shown totally different results from the one you see, this is actually how eBay could legally distribute sales as they please. If they distribute sales other way they could open their company to a flood of anti-trust lawsuits.

I always have a listing in #1 position and I watch how many times it gets viewed, it gets around 15 to 20 views per hour while in the same time window a thousand if not more person was on eBay looking for the item I have up for sale... So how do you explain this to me?


Anyway, they have wrecked the traffic we used to get in the last couple years by promoting and bringing the idea of "Promoted listings" very aggressively. They are literally assassinating the potential growth of every business active on their site by doing this, but they keep going ahead with it for the very short-term profit it generates.

Nope. I always perform several checks using several different search terms from 2 or 3 mobile phones via mobile network. I also check from 3 different browsers incognito mode, both tethering and wifi. I also take multiple screenshots for each different search term..I'll drop a position or two at most when using different search terms for my items.

Ive even been very late paying ebay fees a few times, the latest being placed on hold without any noticeable effects from it.
