Hi Everyone

I hope you don't mind me popping on and asking a question, if anyone can help me I would be grateful, I think I might have stumbled on a problem on ebay with this opting out thingy!

I have an ebay store and regularly list on ebay.com and .co.uk but today I have noticed items I listed yesterday are not showing at all, only if you do a specific search for them.  I know they have altered the store listings to fixed format as buy it now, which I have always done and had no problems..until now.  I have seen that everything is now showing from everyones store which is great, but I have just noticed as I am running two computers at the same time one has opted out of the new system and the other is using the new format, well if you opt out you do not see all the listings, but if you do go for the new system you get to see everything, so to cut a long story short my items are appearing on the new format but not the old one.  This is so odd as I have all the relevant feedback etc and never had this problem before.  What concerns me is some of us have been told by ebay to keep opting out of the new system and ebay will have to take note and do something about it and put it back as it was, well if thats the case and the majority of bear collectors and makers have done this the items that myself and others have paid to list is just a waste of time.  I hope someone here can help me because it seems as if this is a no win situation.  HELP!!!!!!

I have taken note of all the new listing cirteria title descriptions etc for searches, but what it boils down too is you can see me on one system and not the other.  I am now waffling on sorry!!!

Hugs to you all.

When I look under mohair, which is where I always see your listings, you are there, and you are listed also under sellers with stores on the left side.  I still use the old format

I have noticed when I list mohair that to been seen on the left as a store with mohair fabric, I have to list it as mohair fabric.  If I list it as Schulte mohair that does not seem to register with them.

Hi Joanne

Thank you ever so much for looking and your great tip, that has answered another of my questions, as I could never understand why I never appeared on the left especially with how much I have in my store sometimes...A big thank you for that.

The fabric I am chasing to see is the animal print for critters, I listed this yesterday 4 lots of it thats the ones playing hide and seek with me, I have even resorted to putting artist bears in the title to see if that makes a difference, but no, but when you look under the two different formats you can see them in one but not the other.  Off to bury my head in the sand...doesn't ebay drive you crazy these days, why oh why do they have to mess.

Thanks again Joanne, you have been a big help.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs
Jacqui :hug:

Still finding my feet in Ebay and do not understand half of what gets mentioned here in TT.

If I go to your website I see 45 items listed. I have no idea if I use the old, new, crazy whatever format.

Not sure if this helps at all.
