Why is it that when i submit a listing on ebay and then search for it i can not find it?

Question

I post my listing on ebay and then search for it and it doesn't come up. It says there is no results. HELP

Answer 1

Ebay is horrible. They commit fraud. Watch out for the credit card you gave them, they might overcharge you. Search ebay suspended on yahoo answers right now and you will see what ebay has done to families.

Answer 2

Items take a while to "index" for search results.  Relax, and let it finish indexing.

A common newbie mistake is to revise the listing.  Whatever you do, DO NOT revise the listing after you place it on the site if you can avoid it.  It's not searchable for a while after you revise it.  Instead, take your time and make it look pretty the first time.

Answer 3

Some people might find it.

Answer 4

I had the same thing happen. Look at the top of your ebay screen where it says COMMUNITY--go into it and type in your ebay I.D. to locate you and what you are selling. I also caught an ebay employee once that had removed my listing because he was going to buy my item but didn't--if the item is listed under your community ebay I.D. then it is listed
