Multiple Listings
Well eBay have done it again, hit the sellers for another 6, and there is nothing that they can do, they have now implemented a new multiple listing policy, which supposedly the sellers have appreciated.....NOT!!!!. The New policy centers around that previously selelrs were only allowed to list 15-20 identical items(depending on which country you belong to).
Reduced search results
In a nutshell this means that the new "Finder Technology" will remove duplicates from the search results, consequently if you have 20 + items then the buyer will only see one of these items. However eBay have implemented a number of rules which will mean that it is possible to have more than one listing.
Duplicate Listing
From the Ebay press release then "An item is considered identical if it has the same title and the same listing format........" .. "..When multiple auction-style listings with the same title have a different number of bids and different prices these are no long considered identical and will all be displayed."
Essentially this mean that all those shillers will now simply just put in a different number of bids so that their results will appear in the ebay search results.
This mechanism is easily circumvented by honest sellers by simply having a different title alternatively having a traditional auction and then starting a buy it now auction 10 minutes later, so as to create a price point. Alternatively a combination of these strategies will once again help to bring up all your auctions..
