Can't see my item when I search for it

I listed a bag this evening - the listing is confirmed, but when I search for the item I can't find it.

It's in the right category - so why isn't it showing? I'm assuming that if it isn't showing for me, it isn't showing to potential buyers.

Any ideas? Item no is 270474118333.

  • I had a look and couldn't find your bag unless I put in the number you gave. Sorry, I'm useless so don't know what is going on! Have you tried editing it and resaving to see if that helps? Good luck!

  • Hiya I've just searched using the number above and found it ok :beer:

    Debt 2: Overdraft of £900 limit, now down to £500, should be down to £200 by end of April and then cleared end of May
    Debt 3: Credit Card £500 - haven't spent on it in a long time, so just to pay off the £500

    I tried revising the item and saving it.

    It is found if searching by the number, but unless anyone reading this thread wants to buy it, that's no help!

    Bah, I removed it and relisted, and it still isn't showing. I'll try again tomorrow, fed up with it now!

    Edit - seems to be showing, even though I deleted both. It told me I hadn't sold, so I just re-listed.

    Not quite sure what happened. :confused:

    You do know about
    If you recently added or revised a listing, it might not appear immediately when you search or browse on eBay. Although listings are generally searchable within 24 hours, to help make eBay a safe place to buy and sell, there are times when this might take longer.
    don't you?

  • Was it a designer item? If you list a designer item, ebay hold the listing back and review it before allowing it to go public. This takes up to 24 hours. In the meantime you can see it in your my ebay selling view, but it won't appear when you search for it.
