Policy Compliance or Best Match Rigged ?
Despite being a power seller with high dsr's and offering ask the things ebay alleges improve search standing all of my items are on the back page of search. The only possible issue might be a medium policy compliance rating from a pair of jeans that were pulled for copy write violation. When customer service didnt resolve the issue I did a test by opening a new account, listing a couple of identical items offering returns, one day handling or shipping -making the total price higher than my original listings. The items listed with the new account made it near the top of best match.
So I'm wondering whether this is a compliance issue - do they penalize something so minor by by listing you last or are we being scammed by best match -is it really set up to favor new accounts and draw new sellers in? There was also talk of some sort of a glitch in the system with the new algorithm effecting best match. Any thoughts?
