Listed items are not showing up in search results.

I have listed 5 different items over the last 24 hours.  Took a lot of time to research the items so they are staggered from early yesterday till now. Anyways none of them appear in search results. They are active.  I put the exact title in the search bar and no results. If I go to my selling page and click on an item I can see the item and from there I can share with a friend threw text messages and my friend can see the listing. My friend then put the title of my listing in the search bar and again no results.

Re: Listed items are not showing up in search results.

It may not be indexed yet. Items can take up to 24hrs to index and appear in search results. They are active and in your selling page, but not "searchable"

 

Easiest way to prove this theory? When they are not "searchable" they also are not "searchable" in your seller hub selling list, and also dont show up on your profile/store page. 

 

A.K.A. you can go to seller hub and see them on active listings list but type it in the search filter above that exact list in seller hub, and you won't find it. Also go to your profile listing page and wont find it there. 🤷‍♂️ you have a longer history on ebay but haven't done much selling recently. Understandable that your items are slow to index due to this lack of recent history. Sell more and indexing will speed up, my stuff shows up w/in 5 mins

Re: Listed items are not showing up in search results.

I can see 25 items you currently have listed, including two newly listed.

New listings can take up to 24 hours to be indexed; if you revise a listing before it appears, it goes to the back of the line.

 

If it has been at least 24 hours since the last revision, please post an item number.

Searching the full title generally doesn't pull the results you expect it to.

 

Instead, search for a few keywords, and do it from a private browsing window that's not signed in. Searching from your own account may not pull your own listings.

 

I searched: colt 1908 vest pocket

 

Your listing appeared #27 in best match sort results @k-town-kitt .

Re: Listed items are not showing up in search results.

If you or your friend routinely search for your items,      the search algorithm will also note that you look at this "sellers" items and do not buy,  so they will lower you as a seller in search results.
