I scheduled my first listing(Auction) on 2022/11/03 for two days. But it haven't listed yet. I can't understand the reason for it.

Auctions do not run for two days. You can do a 1-day or a 3-day auction for an extra fee but it would be better to run auctions for a full week. Depending on what you want to sell it is very possible that a Fixed price listing would be better than an auction anyway.

 

If you mean that you scheduled it to start 2 days after creating it you should have seen a confirmation message appear when you finished the listing form. Can you see it in your Scheduled Listings? Maybe you have the wrong starting date?

Did you link your bank account to Payoneer?

Did you register your account with your country of Sri Lanka as a business? Did you apply and obtain a business license to sell on Ebay?

Did Ebay send you an email saying that you are approved?

 

If not, this is what you need to do.

 

 You cannot just decide you want to sell something and then try to sell it. There are requirements and protocols for all sellers. You should also consider this:

Good luck should you choose to enroll.
Have a great day.

You would be better listing as a fixed price.

Auctions are good for rare, hard to find items.

Have a great day.

Another thought occurred to me.   The OP may have most countries blocked including their own.  We've seen it here before.  So much for seller school.  🙄

What exactly were you selling? It's possible the listing went live and the listing was removed because it was against policy. Have you checked your email?

Yes I checked my email. But nothing from eBay. I tried to sell a toddler shocks.

Go into your shipping preferences and see if you have your country of SL excluded.  This may be why you can't see your listing.  Go in and change to you DO offer shipping to Sri Lanka and see if your listing will appear.  I don't see a listing either and most from your area ship to the US.  See if that will work for you.  If not, it's something more to do with your account.  

 

Good luck.

What is "a toddler shocks"? What category did you list it under?

Automotive?  Just taking a shot...I couldn't figure it out either.

You could be right.  Maybe eBay couldn't figure it out either.  Do you notice that the posters with the most intriguing problems never return to set us straight?

My guess it's a combination of all what the others and myself pointed out that the problem may be.  I asked if they had set up their account appropriately and never got a reply.
