Listing Not Showing Up in Search

[joh-559684]

I am a new seller and created my first listing which displayed immediately in search results and google shopping which attracted offers from potential scammers - one of whose offer I accepted and then had to cancel the sale due to incorrect shipping details and other problematic behavior.  After the offer was accepted, the item was listed as out-of-stock due to my creating a single item listing and then almost selling it.

I cancelled and deleted that first sold listing and adjusted the price of my product and submitted another nearly identical listing. This one does not show up at all in any search. I cannot find it by searching the item number directly. Nor by keywords or category. When I view my items for sale under my seller ID, there are none. It simply does not exist outside my being able to view the link generated when I initially listed the product and received notice that it was live.

The listing link is here.

Is it viewable to anyone else? I know it has been less than 24 hours and I have made some revisions, but the first listing went up immediately so I am confused. I've read this is an ongoing issue with some sellers but was wondering if anyone has figured out how to resolve it so that their product is viewable to others.

Thnx

New items can take up to 24 hours to be indexed and appear in search. If you revise the item before it appears, it goes to the back of the line.

If the item does not appear after 24 hours since the last revision, post again.

hi,

I think product has been removed by ebay community.

thank you.

I think product has been removed by ebay community.

The listing has not been removed; the item does not ship to Sri Lanka, so you will not be able to see it when searching from there, though the direct link in the original post should still work for you.

eBay is a constant joke. I only use it....reluctantly  to move dead inventory that doesn't sell locally. 

It's no surprise this company has lost 45% of it's traffic in the past 12 months. Every year eBay makes foolish changes that hurt sellers and pushes both buyers and sellers to competing sites with lower fees and a overall better user experience.

I'm not seeing it either and I'm in the US. It does appear to have been removed.

This thread is 2 1/2 years old and the OP isn't going to reply as they never got to sell anything and presently still does not sell.   

There are lots of alternatives out there...just google it and see what you come up with.

Good luck.
