We are currently 54% up on this time last year and I don't promote anything.  I strongly believe the ebay search algorithm is and has been messing many sellers up for some time, surely a search button should search for what's been inputted into the box by a customer? not what ebay wants them to see.

I have sold a fair few items that have had no interest for a couple of years or views? they seem to of come alive this year in the search results?
