eBay...listed item but not showing in search results

I listed an item on eBay at 8.30pm (Sunday evening) but it still isn't showing in the search results! I know that the title is 100% accurate, as well as category etc...but it has been four hours since I listed it and nothing :( Is there a problem with eBay right now?

    Put the item number into this search, and select "Find location of item" - http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ4

    Also try putting your user ID at the end of this link to see if it listed by user ID, rather than description. http:/cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&include=0&since=-1&rdir=0&rows=25&userid=XXXXXXXX

    It can take a few hours for some items to appear, depending if certain keywords such as potential trademarks or prohibited items may be used innocently in titles, and if the site is busy with other people listing.

    Sometimes it takes a while- even a few hours for ebay to sort the listing and get it on the search results. If you search tomorrow I'm sure it will be there.

    search for "where's my listing on ebay help" (can't post links yet).
