Listings not found in search after 24 hours

[shirousagi-shop]

I'm sure this issue has come up time and time again but so far I could not find a definite solution of the problem.

I sell prints on a German Ebay account, only shipping to European countries and I've just started listing my prints on Ebay.com with a different account, excluding Europe as shipping destination so there are no doubles turning up in search as per the Ebay guidelines.

It's been over 24 hours since I listed the first three items and so far they are not showing up in search. I have searched the exact words I used in the title. For some strange reasons all items got a few hits though that are not coming from myself. It's strange because I've never had any problem with my items showing up on German Ebay nor in the past when I listed on Ebay.com.

Is this a common technical glitch or are there things you can do wrong that will lead to the listings not showing up in search? Or does Ebay simply prevent items from showing up in search for mysterious reason? I mean, wouldn't they want us to sell as much as possible so they can receive sale fees from us? 😞

All 3 show up for me just fine,  both under your screen name and doing a search on the first 4 words of the title.

Thank you for doing a search for my items! 🙂 This is so weird. When I replicate your search my prints are not showing up, doesn't matter if I am logged in or logged out (I thought maybe the problems was that Ebay.com sees that I am in Europe and doesn't show my items to me since I have excluded shipping to Europe).

If anyone else got the time, could you do a search as well? If you all find my items then they might only hide from me or maybe I need to be more patient. So odd...

First four words in the listings are:

Octopus Tentacle Kraken Lady

Pink Flamingo Bike Penny

Halloween Raven Crow reading

Prints on book pages in a frame should show up.

Thank you for your help! 🙂

Most likely the bolded is the problem.  Here in the US when somone in another country asks about their listing on other ebay sites, I cannot see them either.

I guess that makes kind of sense. I'm relived though because as long as the people who are supposed to see my listings can see them I am happy. 🙂 Maybe if I use an US proxy and search for my listings they will show up, haha.

[shirousagi-shop]

Okay, so I just used a proxy website with an US server and yay, my listings are showing up in search!

However, they are listed under 'items found from eBay international sellers' which is kind of a bummer because they are at the bottom of the page.  How do sellers who are not in the US avoid this? I keep seeing sellers from all over the world having their items showing up under the regular search results, not under 'items found from eBay international sellers'.

Or do they only show up like that for me? Do you see them in regular search results or under 'items found from eBay international sellers'?

Sorry for all the questions. I want to do this right before I list more prints. 🙂

In your category I typed in Octopus and yours came up 3rd in the list right at the top with other listings from the US.

Wow, this is confusing. So basically my listings show up in the regular US search results and not under 'items found from eBay international sellers'? I'm glad! 🙂

Hmmm, I only explanation I have is that even with the proxy website Ebay.com somehow shows me different search results because I'm viewing this from Europe.

Well, I guess I will just continue listing my prints and see what happens.

This entire search/display/suggestions is just getting ridiculous.

I'm watching(and just bid on) a certain bank. In my ebay, another one shows up in 'More like your watched items' suggestion part right after the watch list.

When I click on it, it comes up as not found or removed.

Such a great buying experience ..... NOT!

They are showing in regular search.  To see them yourself you need to change your search location.  To do that, search for any item, click on an item and then on the shipping tab.  Change your location to the US, enter a zip code (92210) and click on get rate. Backspace to the search page and refresh the page.  You should see the listingings that someone in the US will see.

I've noticed that if I look for any of my items from within my own profile then I do not see them.  But if I go to my husband's account, a different one, then the listings are there.  Try looking from another account or from an opened home page.
