ebay watch out

i have listed items on ebay and gone through searches and my items are not being shown to customers eg ladies coat size 20. gone through all ladies coats then gone through new search for size 20 then gone through new search with the brand and colour nothing is coming upon any of my items.
how many more people are the same as me?
how many people are not receiving the service you are paying for?
or how much would your item have really sold for how much money have you lost?
trading standards here i come.

    When did you list them? It takes up to 24 hours for items to show up in search results.

    Your listing is available in text-only format, it takes a while for the server to update the live search.

    Compared to the number of bidders you get at the end of the auction when everyone can see it at the top of search, you aren't missing out on anything substantial.

    That's a bit OTT, particularly if its because you don't know how to use the site. If you open up your listing in 'my ebay' you will be able to see how many views the item has had. If it gets to the end of the auction and no views, either your item is rubbish and the picture/title isn't appealing or there may be a glitch somewhere.

    why don't you post the exact title here and someone can look for it for you before you go trotting off to trading standards :)

    Sometimes the listings do take a day or so to show up, but they obviously don't always, as sometimes I have listed to have a watcher within the first 10 mins or so!

    What did ebay say?

    OP is looking in search himself and it is not showing up.
