Answer 2

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

Good Luck

Answer 3

Try searching under your eBay id, or by using keywords that you know you used in the ad.

If you used a word like   "Chevrolet", or "Hemi", etc, just put them into an advanced search box.

Answer 4

It takes about 15 or so minutes for eBay to update the database and listings. Plus make sure the auction is live and you haven't scheduled it for a later time or date.

In about an hour you can search for a word that you have in the title of your auction or go directly to the category and look at the newest listings.

Also I don't want to assume anything: You will need to search on the eBay Motors site which is separate from the regular eBay site.
