New Listing
Here's a good one. Listed an item on Wednesday, received email Thursday showing it was listed. Looked for item, Buy It Now, Low to High, not found. Looked High to Low, Found. Anybody experienced this?

That shouldn't happen. You can search by category or not. It is to the right in the search bar. You don't need to type the category in the search bar, that is for the item you are trying to find. You may be making an error when you are searching for your item as you should be able to find them.
Forget about the category and just type in the keywords from the title of the item you are trying to find.

I ASSERT IT NEEDS LESS MARKETERS. Search is a simple indexing operation, they have made destroyed it.
"To drive a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer"
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW **NOT** GETTING SEARCH RESULTS I NEED CREATES A POSITIVE USER EXPERIENCE?
don't know how the rest of you feel but not getting the search results I need is NOT a positive user experience.

·3 years agoAre you sure you listed it? What was/is the item title? The most recent item I see that you have listed was posted on Monday 24 July.

·3 years agoThat shouldn't happen. You had some problem going on with that listing. I certainly don't know why, but if it ever goes past 24 hours again, you should contact Ebay and find out why.

·3 years agoIt can take up to 24 hours from uploading for a listing to become visible.
The 23 hour/59 minutes/59 seconds mark may have passed while you were searching.
Also.
I have noticed when I do multiple Searches for the same item, the algorithm seems to decide the items I have been shown are not what I am looking for, and shows me different items.
There is a huge backlog to choose from after all
What was your concern?
If eBay cannot upload your listing, you will be told immediately so you can make corrections.
If a listing is uploaded and then taken down, you will usually be told and scolded.
You can see how the listing will look at the final page of the Sell Your Item form, where View this Listing is a choice along with Done and Sell Similar

·3 years agoWhen you list an item, you immediately (more or less) get a email saying it was listed.
At that point it is listed.
It may not be searchable for a while, sometimes up to 24 hours.
Are you able to provide us with a item number?

·3 years agoWe need more information. I see you have 48 listings. What is the listing number on the missing listing?
When you get the email from Ebay regarding your listing, that is because in your site preferences you have it set up to send you an email when you create a listing. Because you received the email is to confirm that you created the listing. It can take up to 24 hours for the site to re-index and for your item to show up in the general search.

·3 years agoThank you. I can search and your listing does show up. It was likely just delayed for the reason I posted earlier. I'm glad it worked out.
