Listing not showing

[johns777us]

My listing 195797142462 is not showing in any searches.

This is the 3rd time I list in 3 days and none of them are searchable.

Support said don't list as auction for 1 or 3 days,

so now I listed as "buy it now", but still not searchable.

When did you list the latest item? It can take up to 24 hours for indexing; longer if you revise.

I see two items you have ended in the last two days.

I ended prior listing 195796009535 today because for 24 hours it did not show up in searches. Your support said I will need to wait another 48 hours. So total 72 hours. But it was 3-day auction listing 3 days is 72 hours, so it would not be visible. It defeats the purpose of selling on Ebay. So they switched to "buy it now", and it is still not visible.

I sold many items on Ebay several years ago, and everything was searchable in minutes.

If I sell on Craigslist or Etsy it is also visible right away.

Why do you need to index something for days? It's year 2023 with powerful cloud computing, not year 1992 with Windows 3.1 system. Is Ebay technology broken now?

Please make the listing visible ASAP

I listed this item about 5-6 hours ago. Having to wait for 24 hours or days is unacceptable.

This is a user forum; eBay is not here. No one here can affect when your listings index aside from you, by revising and delaying things further.

Indexing does not always take 24 hours, but it can take that long, particularly for new sellers, or certain high risk categories.

Thanks, I did not realize this is just discussion forum 😀

You are welcome -- good luck with your listing.

Have you read ebay's policy about digitally delivered items? Are you sure your items are allowed and that you are allowed to sell them?

I listed a buy now listing on Friday which had a similar situation..   I've listed multiple other items which show up in search.. I just tested a theory I have by relisting it again without certain text.  THEORY CONFIRMED...

I had the text HP in my listing ...  because the Oreck Orbiter is a 1/2 HP machine..   VERO OVERPLAY.. good god.
