Well, know what else I did? And it worked, too!
I took the eBay Stores forum suggestion of putting my eBay store on vacation for a few hours.

It helped to reindex my items and I had an increase in sales.
If you have a store read the forums and do some research to see if you think it could work for you.
My Best,
