Listings on Austrailia site are gone (magically vanishing before your eyes!)


Yet another wow just wow episode!

Cutting to the quick, when you search the person's items by title on ebay Australia, they at first appear, then vanish *POOF* right before your eyes.

here are the terms mentioned later in the thread:

'69 GTO JUDGE (FLAMED) XL SHIRT PONTIAC CAR

FORD 4X4 PICKUP XL SHIRT FORD CAR MUSCLECAR

try it yourselves at

http://www.ebay.com.au/

Hilarious! I guess we know now why ebay was apparently experimenting with 'hidden listings' a while back. roflmao

There's further speculation this could be tied into ebay recent Global Shipping Program (as coercion technique?)

Check your listings down under!

Major LoLz

Listings on Austrailia site are gone

Jun 14, 2013 07:36 AM

I have been selling on EBAY for over 6 years ...things have been pretty good until about FEB. My sales in Austrailia dropped to nothing ,I thought that the Postal increase caused this. About a month and a half ago I discovered that all my items are no longer on the Austrailian site...so I called EBAY.

I have been talking to no less then a dozen  people at ebay and everyone says that they will help and no one does,I am so frustrated I just don't know what to do....I just emailed them on Tuesday and they didn't respond to that either.Every time that I call in I get a different rep and have to tell my story over again......PLEASE HELP ME....what do I do ....who do I talk to...my sales in Austrailia used to be very good and I want to get them back....Thanks ....Mark

LoL I see what the issue is...

The location and status (International seller) of the listing Vs the paid ads etc; and The way it loads the page.

It appears to just *evaporate*, for lack of a better description, and as noted by at least a couple others in the above linked thread. It doesn't seem to move down the page as the sponsored ads load, it goes poof, then re-materializes below the ads.

Here's when I scrolled down a ways to see it in recently viewed. I doubt most people would even bother, having watched it go POOF to begin with. It just looks plain hoky. Like a redirect sort of when you see it.

The other adchoice skyscraper/vertical ad usually on the left sidebar is/was so bogged down/slow it wouldn't even load for me.  Plus I see they've been monkeying with the overall feature positions/format of the search results pages again and again an... LoL

This loading/placement fluke may not be the only issue for this person and others, as many sellers worldwide are having traffic/visibility issues now since Houdini, err I mean Cassini...

For comparative purposes, search from USA site. You can see the sponsored ads are below other related listings area, where items from international sellers would be also (had there been any international sellers of this item).

So having sponsored ads in the middle seems to be a glitch, not to mentioned the odd "vanishing" effect watching the page load...
