What's up with eBay? For 2 weeks my new listings don't appear in any search.

hi sticker. Well as far as suggestions go i'm afraid i don't have any the only other place i have sold anything on is amazon though that has only been dvds and xbox 360 games which i have watched or played and then no longer want. I used to run a business on ebay and also had my own web site about 2 years ago, i had 4 ebay accounts ( selling on all of them ) and i was making 700 sales a week combined for anywhere between £6 and £50, all my accounts made power seller status and it was a great place to sell, i subsequently closed my business after a year and didn't sell much on ebay since until recently which is how i have noticed so many damn changes in it, the other thing which is hitting the small hobby sellers is this damn feedback system, not allowing sellers to leave negative feedback has created a whole host of new problems for sellers the main one being buyers blackmailing seller into refunding for an item they have recieved just so the buyer will not leave negative feedback for the seller so the buyer gets goods and money and the seller gets shafted, i have read numerous threads about this going on and it is happening more and more. There really doesn't seem to be any other reaosn why ebay would have done the things they have done unless they wanted rid of the small sellers but of course they are doing it slowly so that they still have revenue coming in from us where as if they just banned us all their revenue would plumit over night and they know it, so we have to bear the brunt of ebays transition into a new market and who knows how long it will take to complete ( if ever ).

Thank you for your comment. I just signed for facebook yesterday because I see it talked about so much on other sites. I am totally unfamiliar with their site and what they have to offer, and had no idea I could sell my items there. I will definitely look into it. I have been selling on Etsy, but my sales volume there is only a fraction of what it has been on eBay. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the response. I usually don't check the search feature to see if my listings have been posted, but I was out of state for a few days, and when I returned last week I had no notices of sales, and no questions from buyers. I always get some activity from my listings, so out of curiosity, I did a search. When I discovered my items weren't listed, I immediately contacted eBay through live chat. The person I spoke with tried unsuccessfully to locate my listings and gave me a credit for them. This weeks listings also could not be found, so I contacted eBay once again through live chat. The idiot I spoke with told me to shorten the title and the listings would appear. I explained to him that I have been using the same title for all my listings for several years without any problems. His next suggestion was equally moronic. He finally offered to credit my account. I refused to accept his offer, and explained that I wanted a permanent solution to this problem. He then transferred me to ''Trust and Safety'' and they supposedly are working on fixing it. I don't know what trust and safety have to do with this type of problem, but as long as they can come up with a solution, I don't really care. Thanks again.
