Im so tired of this happening after restartng on ebay.

 

Usally listings get good visabilty and sales for six months and then gone like dust in the wind.  

 

I watched my sales start tanking last month. 

 

Ive been watching veiws which are none exsistent  ..

 

Checked my listing empressions today i went from 40k a day average to 8k been that way all month .

 

I cant be bothered with talking to a rep Ive been on the phone and chats repeatly over the years with no avail.

 

Im starting to think all you can do is shut it down for 3 months and restart over at least you get the "new store lift "

 

Give it another week and im off to another web platform unless someone has a realistic reason for this happening over and over , third time now closed and reopened a new store and new product .

I don't pretend to be an expert on how eBay's search engine gauges a "best match," but you currently have almost two-thirds of your items (thanks, @recped) offered without US shipping.  You may have had a lower proportion than that in the past and when the search engine algorithms caught up to your latest mix of listings, bumped you down in US search results.

I checked four of your listings at random and two of them offer shipping only to Canada.  Is that intentional?

Good catch....

 

Actually 349 of the 554 OP's listings only ship to Canada

I'm often baffled by search results on ebay (for my own sales, and my purchases). Every once in a while, I do random "checks" on low view items to see what's going on. I find if I reposition key words to the beginning of the title, that helps. As can adding item details. Sometimes i just end the listing and create a new one. It's a servere PITA, but so is everything on ebay these days. Par for the course...
