Listing not Showing up after 24 hours. What do i do?

[wolf_knight]

I'm brand new to selling on eBay and when i first saw that my listings were getting no views and weren't showing up when searched for i was worried but then i found out that listings take up to 24 hours to get listed so i was happy that i had to just be patient. However now it has been more than 24 hours and my listings still aren't showing up in searches. Is there something i could do to fix this? (Also i know revising it resets the clock back to 24 hours but i didn't revise these listings)

I see the sale you made today for the Pokémon cartridge under Completed listings. But using the link in that to “See Seller’s Other Items” turned up zero listings. Can you give us some item numbers to see if they can be seen that way?

Yeah that one was a weird exception. sold like 5-10 minutes after posting the listing somehow. the numbers of the three that should be appearing now are 354116039218, 354116048910, and 354116057116.

I'm not finding anything with those item numbers. 

How long ago did you list them? 

[wolf_knight]

31 Hours ago at this point

If you revise a listing before it is indexed it goes to the back of the line, which can add another 24 hours to the time before it appears.

Well **bleep** i was so certain that i didn't revise them too. i feel like an idiot now, sorry about that. How do i check if they'v been revised like that? 

[wolf_knight]

I figured out how to look up the revision history myself and my other two items should be listed by now as their revisions were more than 24 hours ago.

Lots of folks make the same mistake. eBay is not always consistent; sometimes listings appear sooner than twenty-four hours, and in some rare cases it takes a bit longer.
