Yes indeed, this is an ongoing issue and why this post was created. As far as I am aware, the missing listings are now showing when I do a search in My Ebay. The problem appears to be when I have several listings of the same product, althought the listings are all different models/types/colours etc. They were also listings that made regular sales.
I was once told by an Ebay CS agent that there is so much traffic on Ebay that the servers cannot cope with it all! I wonder whether the users who are affected are all business sellers who have had a shop for many years? Maybe the Ebay system just deletes or 'hides' certain things for a period of time?
Years ago I had a different issue. Some of my older multi-variation listings in particular had photos deleted; mostly all but the main photo, including all the variation photos. I did not know about this for a while as I had about 1200 listings at the time and it was only when my attention was drawn to that listing, it was apparent the photos were not there, so after it happening repeatedly, I had to check through every listing. Ebay were unable to help and it took me over 3 weeks (on top of my usual Ebay business) to check every listing and retake, edit and upload all of those missing photos. It was extremely stressful and I was livid.
So it is an ogoing issue, unfortunately, although to my knownledge, not affecting me... for now! 😕
