    I seriously doubt that my posting my own opinion on this site has had any impact with the powers that be on ebay.

    I only made the comment as you have concerns your items are not showing up but the fact that your items are receiving views and bids should reassure you that they are showing up for other users.

    to not being seen if you list a tie to sell you would expect to go to basic search and be able to find your tie to be listed but it isn't. so how can you sell it?

    The easy answer is because you were searching for the wrong thing. It has been pointed out to you that you listed without a certain word, but you were searching with that word in.

    EDIT, Just checked and yes your item is there, just leave the word 'size' out of your listing. You can't find something if you use the wrong search terms. Hopefully you have read this thread before phoning ebay and getting embarrassed.

    Ok, tell us what you are doing to search for your items? Give us instructions that you think should find your item but doesn't.

    Nothing will find it now - the listing ended an hour ago, as did all the other listings on that account.
