items not showing in search after an excess of 24 hours

I am new to selling, and have multiple listings posted to sell which some are now on the 3rd day since listing.  I am already being charged for the listing, which includes the advertising fees, and none of my posts are showing in searches.  I have already went through all the issues which indicated were recommended yesterday, and still nothing showing up.  Is there something else I need to do?

Re: items not showing in search after an excess of 24 hours

My very first listings took like 36 hrs to show up ... over time, with experience, eBay lowers your "indexing" time or the time it takes to become publicly visible. 36 hrs, 24 hrs, 12 hrs, few hrs, 1 hrs, 15 minutes, 5 minutes etc... Not necessarily fixed or incremental times or milestones to hit to reduce indexing time, it varies definitely but overall those are general examples you could expect.

 

 

now it takes my listings 2-5 minutes to show up, literally listed a "hot" item yesterday and got offers within (no joke) 2 minutes of listing. Verified by comparing listing & offers time stamps LOL. Some people on here will claim nothing ever indexes in ~5 minutes but I never have anything take longer than ~5 minutes to show up

have you had any experience with them ONLY showing up if you search the ITEM ID#?  And not being visible by exact title or even similar title searches?

Hi,  Not seeing any listings for you from here in N.J.  Signed up for Managed Payments & provied eBay with an approved checking acct. #? - I have heard that that may hold things up.  good luck.
