eBay is not showing the time a listing was posted directly to the right of the listing in search results or browsing pages to make me waste my limited time! This wastes a lot of my time. Why are they doing this!

Mentor1 week agoHi @bojoonline
If the time newly listed is not showing in your search results, you can still use the sort option (above the list on the right) to sort by time newly listed). That should help you somewhat.
I also cannot see that information anymore (I checked Firefox, Edge, and Chrome), so if others are still seeing it, it may be an eBay test is running for a subset of users.
Over on the right of the page as you scroll down, you'll see a blue box that reads "Feedback." You can send eBay your feedback on this change to let them know you don't like it and why you want it back.

On a search results page if you set your search Sort: to Time ending soonest you will see the number of days or hours and minutes left before the listing auto relists after 30 days for a BIN item, or the time left in an auction which usually run for 7 days. Though they can be listed for 3,5,7 or 10 days.

I am a little confused, if you are interested in an item what does the listing start time mean if you plan to buy the item? What were you using that information for?

"what does the listing start time mean if you plan to buy the item? What were you using that information for?"
Most likely to send offers.

OP1 week agoNo, under a listing for something that has 40,000 items I scroll through 2 to 3 times a day for just listed to look for buy it nows & place bids.

Mentor1 week agoTry another browser to rule out a browser or cache issue. Thursday nights are when eBay does server updates, which can cause temporary issues.
I still see listing times in the search results. If the problem persists across another browser, try checking your search customization options using the Customize menu from the search results page in the upper right where you can choose between List or Gallery views.
On the Advanced Search page you can choose to limit your search to items that are newly listed in the last few hours or days, regardless of what eBay is displaying.

Additionally, the OP searches frequently for the same item, and doesn't necessarily want to see the listings that have already been reviewed...just the newest ones.
