I no longer have the option to exclude stores from my eBay search. The only way I can do it is to specify Auctions only, this excludes all the BIN items in core. I hope I'm only part of a small test group. Otherwise, I just wasted 32 cents on each BIN item I listed in core- they are indistinguishable from the 3 cent listings and get no search preference. Does any one else remember the self-professed disaster eBay admits to the last time they included stores in search? Buyers looking for 30-50 new listings now get 300+ in search results that they are not going to wade through.

I paid 35 cents for listing BIN,all my BIN items show up in search.
And I get BIN payments every day.
(I just used simple search (not advanced search) and they all show up.

Hwa Hwa. I know you get found in search. Do you have a store? Store listings get exactly the same exposure for 3 cents per month per listing. I think this a clue of the January 26 announcement - my prediction: Elimination of stores, all BIN items listing fees will be based on volume or a volume buy-in fee.

I dont have an Ebay store, I just listed some items as BIN good till cancelled and I paid 35 cents.
In a search,my items are mingled with the Auction items,not listed after all the auction items are showed.
May be you want to try fixed price good till cancelled for 35 cents instead of store listing.
But the final value fee is high.

Hwa Hwa- I have listed BIN in core, they are found in search below my 3 cent store listings. Your 35 cent listed items are listed BELOW 3 cent items in search.

pixiamom: I do not know what you are searching, but I did 3 searches and none of the store items were listed above or with the auction and BIN items.
If there were not that many auction or BIN for the search, the store listings were on the same page, but under the core items. If there were many of the search results, the store items were not listed at all on the first page.
Like I said, not sure what you are using as a search criteria, but my results were the same as they have been for quite some time.

Thank you, Merrie! I hope that I'm part of a test group that jumbles store and BIN indiscriminately. Can you search in core only?

I can limit my search to Auction, it is sort of weird, when I do that the BINs even on auctions do not appear. The item appears, but the option to BIN is not there on that specific item. When I click Auction and BIN, only those items that are auction with the option to BIN appear.When I clicked BIN only, the fixed price and store listings appear to be intermingled. It is really hard to tell which are which in this search since FP run for 30 day, also.

I have to redo my listing strategy. The BIN in core worked great for 90% of my new listings. Now they only seem visible for a day. I'm back to listing most new items as auctions, a few directly to store, and the backlog of ended BIN core listings I usually relist once, will be sent directly to store.

I am not going to complain,items listed yesterday were sold next day,today I sold 7 itmes and 6 of them were listed yesterday.
Items which sat in my store for years were sold in a few days.
