Someone copied my lisitngs and now their listings show up but mine do not show in the search

A couple of weeks ago, my account got hacked. I noticed that there was a listing that was not mine listed under my name. I contacted ebay and they refunded the listing charge and told me to change my passwords for ebay, email and paypal. I also noticed that they changed the check box to be off for email notification of new listings.

 

I noticed that I have not received an order for the past 1 1/2 weeks, which was a bit odd. I went to my listing page today and checked them. Everything seemed fine and I also added a few more. When I did a search for my products (which I do on a regular basis), none of my listings are showing up i the search.

 

Instead, my items were showing up under a different seller,  some seller from Israel. They are using my images and text, but different prices.

 

That alone was upsetting, but my listings not showing up at all when I do keyword searches is really upsetting.

 

I was on the phone with ebay for over 1 hour and transferred 4 times. No one could help me other than to submit a notice of claimed infringement. They have no idea why my listings are blocked from the search. They tried to say that I made some changes so my listings may not show for 24 hours. Granted, I did list a few new, but most of the others have been up since October, so there is no excuse.

 

Has anyone else had this happen? Any advice?

Did you know you are on the Canadian message board?  And did you know you can mail those cards alot cheaper up to Canada than the $10.50 you are asking?  Not to mention the ones you have in the GSP.  $15.12 to Vancouver.

 

Just sayin'.

Is it possible the two accounts (yours and the imposter) and now accidentally linked so that ebay is hiding yours while showing theirs as part of their duplicate-listing policy enforcement?

I see your listings in search.

Your cards show up fine for me too.

 

However, you seem to be contravening the Charitable Donations policy of eBay.

You are required to register with eBay when you advertise that part of the payment will go to a charity.

EBay monitors these to be sure the sellers  are being truthful about the donations.

Please look into this.
