Why is Ebay not showing my listings in search?

[skitoh]

Im attempting to sell a PC, but its not working out. I had an auction up which ended with a decent amount of views and watchers, but no buyers. I dropped the price and relisted it 6 hours ago, and its not getting views. On top of that, I searched the item name start and important key words exactly, and 67 listings popped up, with mine not being there. Its like im shadow bannned or something. This has happened in the past. Why is this happening?

I just clicked the view listings thing from the forum, and it shows I have no listings from an outsiders POV, but the listing is live in my seller POV.

It can take up to twenty four hours for a new item to index.

Thanks, i'm glad I got an answer. Its kinda stupid how I don't get the new listing boost after its indexed since its technical new listing date already passed, but that's Ebay I guess.

      While I cannot yet see your listing you are a new seller and are selling a high target item for every scammer out there depending on what type of computer it is and the value. Exercise caution and be aware of the eBay fees and the money back guarantee. Sellers have VERY little protection against the scammer community.

Thanks for the warning.
