Starting this week, we will be displaying all listings in search according to their Best Match sort order, even when they’re from the same seller. Since July of last year, we’ve been showing a maximum of 10 listings per page, whether Fixed Price or Auction-style, from any one seller. Now that a track record of recent sales is a key factor in the sort order for Fixed Price, most sellers are consolidating their listings into fewer low-cost multi-quantity listings. This has proven to be the right strategy for sellers and a great shopping experience for buyers.
As a reminder: To get the best position for Fixed Price listings, we encourage sellers to focus on the following:
+ Create effective, accurate listings with distinct and descriptive titles.
+ Use the long duration (30-day or Good ‘Till Cancelled) multi-quantity format whenever appropriate.
+ Offer free shipping.
Auction-style listings continue to be the best deal on eBay for low starting prices and they get a boost in exposure with time ending soonest. To learn more, read about how to get ahead in Best Match search.
Sincerely,
Jeff King Senior Director, Finding

I never understand why seller with low priced item does that?To squash competition?
What about listing fee?

If a Diamond Powerseller has the same item as you find yourself another site for that item...yours won't be seen no matter what you do. I'm pretty well removing everything I have listed on E-Bay, the prices have falling to nothing. The powersellers have taken over and drove the sales away.
