$$$$$$ FOR A STORE ??????? ----- this time i listed with FREE SHIPPING - but

still my items do not show up... i have talked to 6 or 7 ebay people, but actually 3 because

the others i could NOT UNDERSTAND ......

i have been with ebay since -- 2005 or earlier ----- NEVER HAD this problem

until now

Listings can take up to 48 hours to show up.

every time you go in and revise it starts the clock over.

I see you have 39 listing.

All of your words in CAPs have zero reason for listings not showing.

CS is less than helpful and calling is not going to get you the answer you want.

Im not sure why you think your items are being hid ...

forgive me but i guess you just scan & not read what --- i other people write

below you say

every time you go in and revise it starts the clock over. ---- OF COURSE IT DOES

OTHERWISE YOU WOULD BE RUNNING TWO ACTIONS AT THE SAME TIME

I see you have 39 listing. ----- WOW !! did you just get that from where it

says --- VIEW SELLERS ITEMS --- that is on the LEFT side ---- OR --- DID

YOU ACTUALLY GO INTO --- SEARCH -- and find each item ????

Give us the titles or item #'s that "aren't" showing up.........there could be a reason.......

i get it takes "up to 48 hours" but it didnt used to. few months ago it changed and every listing takes a minimum of 24 hours to go live. used to be some took a little but none ever longer then 5 minutes and suddenly it is a drastic change.. just my complaint. seems to coincide with my drop in views/impressions this year as well...

You sure do like posting the word "Antique"....I would eliminate the word.

The first word in your title should be what is it.

First words should not be "numbers"...."orig."

"Key for Hand Cuffed Leg Irons" as something like this....so when buyers type in "Key....everyone looking at keys will see it and not only a few who see "Antique key"

You have 3 places to describe what you are selling. Just my thoughts.

Good luck

I didn’t search all of your items I just searched the first three that show in your listings using fewer words than your title and all words in your title.They all showed up first in search.

It can take 24 hours for a listing to be indexed (searchable).
When it is revised, the indexing process starts all over again, not the listing itself.

I had the same issue while looking for my own item after never even getting views and I couldn't find it. My items have been up for more than 48hours it's been up for 3 months

Have you since sorted out and resolved the issue? Would love to know

No it doesn't. I routinely get views and watchers on things less than half an hour after putting them up.

Me too.

My listings come live in about a minute and are searchable in less than an hour.

@retired-again you are in Australia, posting on the US board.......and don't have shipping set for the US so the items don't show. Try signing in on the Aussie site and see if you can see your items......
