eBay Seller sells items, but no articles visible when clicking on Seller Other Items

[ebayfocker]

I ran across an ebay item, and it shows that multiple copies have been selling during the current month, with feedback from buyers, but when I click on "Seller Other Items", nothing is shown

What is the deal here? Does anyone know how to do it and what it is used for?

When you click on seller other items and show nothing it mean the items offered by that account are not visible at the moment in search results, but the item exist on eBay. This is the meaning. The reasons can be a lot, but all of them are temporary if the account can still sell items.

You can reproduce it selling a first item with a brand account, you will see your item listed immediately, but for see it clicking " seller other items " and in search result you need 12/24 hrs and sometime more...

I do not think this is the case. He sold 433 pieces of the same item for the past several months. It should by now be in the search results. There is something else here...

Yes it's possible, when you keep to get vero shutdown or similar they going to hide your items from search for 3/5 or 10 days
This is the possible scenario in this case

I never heard of this before. I know they restrict the ability to add new listings depending on the timeframe you are restricted, but didn't know you're "shadow banned".

I think that answers the question, MS Office Keys is a huge VERO item, it will have been taken down if you can not find the listing on any search. One way to see if its taken down is to look at the products listed by them (which I think was done) then its been removed.

Just did a search on eBay for MS Office Keys, one seller does a 24 hour auction fo £0.01 and in the description their is links to their website for downloadable keys for all MS products very cheap. The account is from 2005 so that is oe way to keep under the radar, just do 24 hour auctions with links and lay low for a few days and repeat the same again.

This is an EU marketplace action, it's pretty new..i think there is in place since 1 year and an half or so, i don't know if they are using it in US

Ok, the guy's eBay account is still live, with the same result - no items visible, when clicking on "Seller's other items", but cleary he keeps selling MS keys. When one goes through his Feedback page, and clicks on some of the Item numbers, it becomes clear that some items have been taken down by eBay, but others are still active.

I think this ebayer just keeps creating new listings (maybe with slight variations) as eBay keeps taking his other listings down. I just cannot understand why his account is not totally banned by eBay, with so many VERO item takedowns? Is this some kind of eBay insider?

I just found that you can block certain zip codes. I never experienced this myself until just recently but I saw an item from a seller in main search, but when going into his shop it displayed nothing. Once I changed my zip code it showed everything, which means my zip code was blocked in his settings for whatever reason.

Thanks for the info! There is some food for thought...
