Extremely low views on items (shadowban?)

[wajamafaja]

Hey guys, Im just wondering if its possible to not get fully banned but maybe just a shadowban somehow? I uploaded items that I have uploaded before on another account, and I have 2 views in 6 hours, whereas on another account when I upload this item, I get 20 a day, and I uploaded it in peak time too

My question is, is this a shadowban, or is this normal for newer sellers? my new account has a low conversion rate so is it possible ebay is just maybe somehow not showing my items anymore? idk, if its a shadowban then I might give up, if its just ebay waiting for me to make more sales then I can deal with that, pls give me some advice if you know whats going on

It's kinda hard to tell. I'd think the placement of the listing in the search wasn't good.
If it's a shadowban you call it it won't even show up.

Then if the item is seasonal it could' be another reason.

Did you use the exact same pics and listing description?

ive listed more than one, its not seasonal either, its home audio equipment, I can run a test later tonight and would like your opinion if possible, I'll upload the same item on my friends, with removed metadata photos, and then see how many views it gets

views were low for him too, however we both have had plenty watchers, ebay changed the way their views are counted recently and I missed the memo, thats all it is lol

I definitely overreacted

well, better be aware of these kind of things than not.

I don't see it as over reacting.
