Changes,... changes... and more changes..

[cumos55]

Just took a look at sold listings ... and very few showing...

both eBay Canada and eBay US

There is some confusion with respect to other things happening as well... glitches  maybe 

Why???

[cumos55]

My search was Nonfiction > History > Canada......Sold listings  was showing very, very few listings.

Things appear to be different in many situations...

Things are happening....

Whatcha looking at? I see "normal".

[cumos55]

I have been checking ....Shop by category at the top left of a page...

Books > nonfiction > History > Canada.

and then select Sold in the left navigation column.

Sold used to be for 90 days...  now it is for June 2, 3 and 4

Several categories have been checked

Three days previous does not suffice for giving a buyer or seller any idea of what might be a fair asking price might be for any item. I'm thinking it's a glitch, like all the rest. 

[cumos55]

Appears to be happening only in books...as far as I can see.

[cumos55]

Definitely only in books...  

For non-book categories... sold items show for the previous 90 days.

Books appear to be the only category affected in this manner.....

I don't doubt you but it seems illogical. Best to bring it up at the next Board Hour. It's hard for me to imagine where they might be going with this if it is in fact a permanent change. Were the changes to listing fees for Books effective May 1 or June 1? Could the two be linked? You'll have to forgive me ignorance on the topic; books are not my speciality.

The `problem is with nonfiction books...

Looks to be working with Antiquarian and Collectable....    full search results  for 90 days presented

Nonfiction books was given a new ID number....appears to be  as of June 1...

and the Search only gives results for the New ID

The new ID number has affected the  ability to up load new listings from Turbolister that were prepared with the old ID number.

A new ID... a new reality  and a totally new view..

 Things should change... will be following what happens.

Oh! That makes sense. The new category will have to populate itself from here and onward. I'm trying to remember what impact it happened when this was done with Lego minifigs but that was many months ago. I don't think it impacted sales.
