That\u2019s a red flag to eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cassini sees frequent edits as instability. Instead of recognizing you\u2019re trying to stay competitive, the system punishes you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Mobile Search Is Failing Sellers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 70% of eBay shoppers browse on mobile.

The Forums Confirm It<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eBay\u2019s own community pages are filled with seller complaints about drastic drops in sales, impressions, and search visibility.
