I listed four new ads yesterday afternoon. More that 24 hours later and NONE OF MY LISTINGS can be found by a search, or by listing seller's other items. What good is a seven day auction if it takes several days before anyone can see the listings? I wasted a whole afternoon!

New listings need to undergo a process called indexing in order to be findable in a search.

Indexing can take up to 24 hours. It does not always take that long, but it can, particularly for new sellers or users selling in a new or fraud-prone category. If you revise a listing before indexing is complete, the listing goes to the back of the line.

If it has been at least 24 hours since the last revision and you still do not see your item, please post an item number so that other users can check and see if there are any problems.

I'm having this same issue. Revised a bunch of listings almost 24 hours ago and none have been indexed. I'm assuming this is due to unclear instruction on how to adjust shipping options related to the USPS change to Ground Advantage and the databases getting slammed with a lot of people revising listings at the same time. Usually listings are indexed very quickly.
