Ever since around 2pm EST yesterday, every new item I list for sale gets indexed in the eBay search about 1 min after being posted, but then after about 5 mins, they get taken off the search and just disappear. They are still located in my items list for sale but no longer appear in the eBay search engine.

I have tried ending the listings and creating brand new listings for these items but to no avail, the same scenario keeps happening. I have never seen this before since I started selling back in 2010. I know eBay says it can take 24hrs for items to index but I have sold many thousands of items and I have always checked every item to see if it shows up in the search after I list them. Every item shows up within 1 min in the search, but now anything newly listed doesn't show. I don't know what's going on and if it is a glitch or not. Anyone else experiencing this? All of these search engine glitches and issues since May have been truly frustrating.

I assume no one else is experiencing this problem. Very concerning.

...more likely that no one else bothered to check and you are the only person that discovered the issue.
just checked my paltry listings...all of them show

This must be a problem that only my account is experiencing. Fabulous.

I just searched for one of your items and it showed up...
"Louis Vuitton Drouot" ..was even the 1st one out of 88.
Excellent presentation btw, you do a great job of describing/photographing your items

I am not talking about the Drouot item. I am talking about the 2 listings that I posted as urls. Those 2 items will not index in the search. No new listings since yesterday at 2pm will not show up in search results.

I tried a search using your title and it is still not showing up:
Try again later: takes up to 24 hours to supposedly show some times.

sorry, I guess it would help if I read properly...

Yes I know. But I have sold thousand of items on eBay and have checked every single time when I list an item if it indexes in the search results. Every item I have ever listed in 10 years, have always indexed within 1 minute. No more time than that. Thousands of items. And now all of the sudden they won’t index. Nothings new indexes. No matter how many times I create a new listing and list it.

Oh, thank you for the compliment! I didn’t see it before. I am pretty ocd so this issue that has come up is making me nutty.

May be some thing in the tile or item specifics.
may even bee were the things are getting filed (internal error on one of eBay systems.
Such has happens to others before. Strange for sure.

It has to be a glitch of some sort because all of my titles are nearly the same and item specifics as well. I can't list anything new if they won't show up in the search. Thank goodness I will be out of town this weekend otherwise I may be balled in a few days tearing my hair out over something I have no control over.

comparing others showing the condition has a lot less wording such as your how many photos, and so on.
When I view that it has a box around it that others do not show such.
Might try that....

The way my description is set up with the box around it and how many photos I show and how descriptive I am has been the same since 2010. Nothing has changed. I don't think that is causing the problem.

Looked at your other listing and agree:
I have no idea what is causing this mess. Still looking
