Looks to me like a combination of two things going on at the same time: Firstly, the seller seems to be trying to screw ebay for their commission by putting an artificially high price out there to get offers that he can sell so off their boards: (Ebay threatens but rarely takes action on this)
But secondly, ebay seems to have tweaked their search function over the last few weeks/months to to flood searches with irrelevant results and lots of new quartz junk when searching for vintage watches.
My page views / sales suddenly fell off a cliff a month or so ago.
Being charitable, maybe he is reacting to the lack of sales by taking action on their tweaking their search function?
