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 HELPME....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
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...
