How do they do it ???
 

I am the trend setter on eBay, I start a listing and as soon as I hit like 150 sold, then some other seller joins which kills my whole sale, The scenario is there are four seller selling the same item and my listing is been pushed to 4th and literrally no sale or 4 sold in 24 Hrs while the other three above me have like 20 sold in last 24 hours.

How do they do it?

Do they buy their own item from other accounts?
Do they tweek somehow ebay?
Do they buy some third party SEO s or anything

I can't just figure out and scratching my head, what am I doing wrong
My title is perfect, Price is very competitive, Fast delivery, Feedback profile 100%, where am I wrong.

Can someone help please publically or on PM

It's eBay algorithms. Sell the same item on more accounts.

Nice - and vary the listing wording OP to avoid easy linkage

Agreed with above. It happens to me all the time. I'll have a listing doing very well, getting lots of sales per day, then out of nowhere the sales stop almost completely. I can take the exact same listing and put it on a different account and I'll temporarily have my edge back. eBay doesn't like sellers to dominate niches so they purposely shuffle things up.

I should add ... even though I have my items spread out over more than one account. Ebays algorithms can still tell. As phaz0rz said you get a little edge but even with different wording / auction template ... they just know.
