Sale items not showing on search but active

Hi guys, I’m new. I posted items for sale via buy it now yesterday. I understand it can take 24 hours to show but it’s now 24 hours since my first item I posted for sale 🙁 I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong? Can someone guide me or explain if I need to do something? The 51 items are showing in my items for sale but on search … nothing ☹️

According to ebay Spring seller update it is to their discretion whether to show our listing. Example: if you sell something 30 other sellers have listed, eBay may hide 20 of the listing so duplicates do not show when buyers are looking. According to eBay this is done to make the buyer have a better shopping experience.  I don't agree but that is what it stated.

Just give it some time & try not to over think things....the ebay algorithm will show the listings. 

 

Hang in there!

You are in the UK which means your items will not show here in the US unless you have international shipping available..

 

Post this question on the UK boards and see if they can see your items..

Nothing shows here in Canada or in the UK (I used the 10 Downing St post code since Boris isn't using it at the moment).

Even if listings are not found in Search, if we click on the View Listings link next to your name, we should see it is it has uploaded.

What is the item? The price?

There may be something that you did not realize was not allowed in your listing.

For example, you can have a No Returns policy but not a No Refunds policy. Or you might have run into a VeRO (copyright) question.

@belah6204 

That would be false information. Ebay would never hide 20 out of 30 listings. They would have no reason to do so as they want listings so they can make money. Please no more conspiracies'. When they mention items may not show up they are talking about an item that may have 5,000 or more available. not even close to 30. They are also talking about sellers with selling limits and low performance grades.

Are you sure that your actual location is (UK) or Sri Lanka??!

First off I do not do "conspiracies". So please do not accuse me of that. Second I only repeated what the Spring update said. It's up to you and any one else to read and research. And that is exactly what it meant. Ebay does not want repetitious listing of the same items. Claiming it wants the buyer to have a "pleasant" buyer experience. Lastly my point of saying 30 listing was an example. Not to be taken literally. 

 

Also read the Spring seller update.....

I've been away from eBay a couple years, and my listings have been hidden and not showing up in search. It's been about a day now.

IDK if I contact a rep in support, that they could remove this restriction on my account.

 I see 3 listings when I search for the seller's ID on eBay.co.uk :
