Many of my items are extremely simple.. i.e. if it's a video game it's typically the name of the game + system + new and sealed.
As I've mentioned in the original post.. my success has often been through a little toying w/ GTC. Essentially I play w/ my cost.. typically start out low.. People buy. I slowly creap up the price, move it around every once in a while until I get a good number where I make a couple sales a day.
That being said.. new sealed items.. We're all selling the same thing. For me to have 90+ watcher and 90+ sold, offer 14 day returns, top seller, 99.8 feedback etc.. etc.. and be ranked virtually dead last makes no sense. Unless they're a glitch in the system.. I mean they did have to increese my limit over and over and over. I was actually ending other listings because I didn't want my GTC listing w/ major quantity to go sold out and lose watch count/#sold.
Ever since that limit was changed.. I'm selling at about 1/10 my previous rate..
As per your theory on titles/descriptions.. note that I mentioned I opened a brand new account, listed an item identically in every manner (obviously minus top seller etc..) and actually ranked way higher even after not being "newly listed".
So I've pretty much singled this out to be specific to my account. The timing is basically spot on the account limit increase. my selling limits went from whatever the base is to $45k in 2 months. It got a little hectic.. which is why I'm not to angry about the almost a week long break.. but it's time to pick back up here..
Now CSR said they'll call back in 72hrs.. they may.. they may not.. But that was essentially what was stated. I was transfered around to about 4 ppl. What they can do? Probably nothing. Being a programmer I understand the internals.. and no CSR can help me. Unless there is some major error in my account. Maybe since I grew so quickly they see me as a risk? Seems stupid.. but I suppose it's possible. Hopefully my issue gets passed onto someting who can view whatever data is eximined by their algorithm and just verify nothing is signifiantly wrong. I'm focusing specifically on my account. it's not this accont.. this is an account for items to light or not worth enough to ship w/ tracking.. and/or purchasing. eBay even confirmed that it didn't make sense given at least what they could visually interpret in 10 minutes or so.
example.. I just searched for a game I'm selling.. this is my default search test.. because I was best match #1 for a month (if you selected new and buy it now).
now I'm 115 out of 123.
Top Seller (1day & 14 day return)
Fast and Free
99.8% Feedback
93 Watchers
98 Sold
the mere watch count and # sold should skyrocket me to the top.. I just don't get it. I'd love to see the actual code for how they utilize the seller account for best ranking.
