Search placement depends on many factors
The appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including buyer location, search query, browsing site and history; the item's location, listing format, price and shipping cost, terms of service, end time, history and relevance; the seller's history including listing practices, Detailed Seller Ratings, policy compliance, feedback and defect rate; and the number of matching listings. A listing may not appear in some results regardless of the sort order chosen, some advanced upgrades are visible only on some Services, and eBay's Duplicate listings policy may affect visibility.
