My pageviews have plunged. eBay filters reused listings for many many reasons. Many, maybe 1/3 or more of my listings get no pageviews in 2 weeks. Zero. Some are similar to things I sold 5 years ago for decent money. Now you can't give them away.

I do notice that things of higher value sell. eBay is pushing items for say $15 and up or $40 and up and ignoring low priced items. Somehow I manage to sell $1-200 a month despite what they do. But there is no growth no matter what I list or how I price it. SEO puts you in a slot and keeps you there.
